Title: Wavelength monitoring and control assembly for wdm optical transmission systems
Inventor: VILLENEUVE BERNARD
IPC: H04B10/572
Filed: 1997-07-02
Abstract: A compact wavelength monitoring and control assembly for a laser emission source is provided comprising a narrow bandpass, wavelength selective transmission filter. element, of Fabry-Perot etalon structure, through which a non-collimated beam-from the laser source is directed onto two closely spaced photodetectors.  For wavelength, stabilization, the differential output of the two photodetectors is used in a feedback loop to stabilize the wavelength of the laser source to a desired target wavelength.  Through the angular dependence of the wavelength transmission of the Fabry-Perot etalon, a wavelength variation from the source is converted to a transmission loss, which is different for the two photodetectors, so that the wavelength change is detected as a differential power change.  The device functions as an optical wavelength discriminator in which the detector converts optical energy to current for a feedback loop for controlling the light source.  A lens may be used to control the divergence of the light incident on the filter element to optimize power transfer.  Optionally, wavelength tunability is provided by changing the angle of inclination of the Fabry-Perot etalon relative to the laser source. The system is compact and may be co-packaged within the same package as a laser emission source, overcoming coupling, space and power dissipation problems common with known external semiconductor laser wavelength control units.

IPC: D21G1/00
Filed: 1997-04-21
Abstract: The invention relates to a method in the calendering of a paper web, wherein the paper web (W) is passed through a calendering nip (N) formed by two rolls (11, 12). Of the nip rolls at least one roll (12) has been made soft-faced by means of a coating (13) of a polymer or equivalent material or by means of a band passed over said roll and running through the nip (N). The profile of the calendering nip (N) is regulated in order to compensate for any flaws present in the web (W) entering the calender (10), and in the invention the regulation of the profile is carried out during the running of the machine by varying the properties of the coating (13) or, correspondingly, of the band on the soft-faced roll (12) locally in a direction transverse to the machine direction.  Preferably, the properties of the coating (13) or the band are varied by means of heat. The invention also relates to a calender that makes use of the method.

Title: Improved hair straightening emulsion
Inventor: DARKWA ADU GYAMFI
IPC: A61K/
Filed: 1996-08-22
Abstract: An improved highly alkaline hair straightening emulsion and a two component system for preparing the emulsion are provided. The emulsion employs a combination of strong nitrogenous organic base and alkali metal hydroxide in the presence of an alkaline earth metal cation. Neither the amount of the alkali metal hydroxide nor the amount of organic base present in the emulsion is sufficient by itself to effectively permanently straighten naturally curly hair. Alkaline earth metal hydroxides are characteristically ineffective as permanent hair straighteners. However, surprisingly, the combination is effective for achieving permanent straightening of hair within a treatment time of not more than about 30 minutes. In use, the emulsion also substantially avoids scalp skin irritation. Also, hair discoloration and hair breakage are minimized.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un moniteur cardiaque et son procédé d'utilisation, qui consiste à obtenir d'un patient un signal d'un électrocardiographe dont le traitement permet de mettre en relief les principales caractéristiques et de supprimer le bruit. Une pluralité n de valeurs représentatives des caractéristiques du signal d'électrocardiographe sont créées et utilisées dans un réseau neuronal de Kohonen pour produire un vecteur dimensionnel n. Ce vecteur est comparé à une pluralité m de n vecteurs de référence dimensionnels définissant un prototype dimensionnel n de Kohonen, dans le but de déterminer la proximité du vecteur par rapport aux vecteurs de référence. Si le réseau neuronal de Kohonen indique que le vecteur se situe à l'intérieur d'une fourchette seuil de vecteurs de référence, ou au-dessous de cette fourchette, un signal est alors émis, qui entraîne une action telle que le déclenchement d'une alarme ou la mise en mémoire des données de l'électrocardiographe.

Inventor: NEWELL ANDREW
IPC: B03D1/02
Filed: 1998-06-25
Abstract: A method for reducing both reagent consumption and scale formation in a mineral separation circuit employing sulfoxy compounds as reagents. The method involves introducing into the mineral separation circuit a non-oxidizing gas in a quantity sufficient to reduce the degree of oxidation of the sulfoxy radical. Preferably the gas is introduced during the reagent conditioning and flotation stages, the stages where the presence of dissolved oxygen in a slurry is most likely to create the conditions conducive to oxidation of the sulfoxy radicals which result in reagent consumption and scale formation problems. The process is suitable for a wide range of mineral separation circuits which use sulfoxy reagents for the separation of sulfidic minerals including chalcopyrite, pentlandite, pyrite, sphalerite, pyrrhotite or galena.

Title: Comparison of hierarchical structures and merging of differences
Inventor: SLUIMAN HARM
IPC: G06F16/80
Filed: 1998-11-30
Abstract: A software tool to allow a user to compare a base file containing XML  statements to a modified file and from the comparison, create a third file. The comparison between the base and modified files results in a comparison tree which contains, as nodes, all of the information in the base file as well as the differences located in the modified file. Differences between the nodes of the two files are highlighted in a comparison tree and the user may resolve the differences to create a third file or optionally incorporate the selected differences into the base file. As nodes are examined in the comparison tree and decisions made as to which nodes to include in the third file, differences in the comparison tree are resolved. As a difference is resolved, any node in the comparison tree dependent upon the now resolved difference is no longer highlighted if it too has had the difference resolved. The tool is most commonly used to determine changes made to a source code base file and allows the individual maintaining a stable source code base to determine if the changes in the modified file should be integrated into the base file.
