Patent DE-19741148-A1 (DE)
Title: Refractive optical fibre sensor element
Inventor: NIEWISCH JOACHIM DR
IPC: A61B17/22
Filed: 1997-09-18
Abstract: The optical sensor element is in the form of an end section (10) of an optical fibre (1) with a rounded end (11). The sensor element is for a refractive optical sensor (2) for generating a measurement signal (I). The signal depends on a change in refractive index at the surface between the end section (10) and a medium (3) bounding on the end section.  The end section (10) is made of glass. The method of manufacturing such a sensor element involves applying tension to a glass optical fibre and heating the fibre at a point such that the fibre at that point expands, melts and is separated. This produces two separate fibres each having an end section (10) with a round end (11) which is used as the sensor element.

Title: Two-stage bottle washing process for recycled bottling plant
Inventor: CARL FRIEDRICH
IPC: B08B3/14
Filed: 1997-09-20
Abstract: The process makes use of a hot (90 degrees C) pre-soak bath, a caustic solution bath and a rinsing bath station (3). In the caustic washing liquid circuit (4) the caustic solution is continually removed from the caustic bath, subjected to ultra-filtration, and is then returned to the caustic bath and reused. In the second fluid circuit (6), water from the final rinsing bath (3) station is discharged to a treatment station (9) producing a water fraction containing few impurities and a water fraction bearing a moderate load of impurities. The water bearing the light load of impurities is mixed with fresh water and recycled to the final rinsing station (3.1). The second fraction bearing the moderate load of impurities is discharged to the pre-soak bath (1) prior to disposal.

Title: Frequency synthesiser generating two HF signals
Inventor: MUSCH THOMAS DIPL ING
IPC: H03L7/23
Filed: 1997-10-10

An acoustic converter (50) is connected with the amplifier output, so that the converter transmits an output signal of greater loudness, if the force of the user is increased, which is applied at the PID. The control signal is pulse width modulated.

Title: Characterisation of partially crystalline polymers, to establish suitability for orientation
Inventor: RAUSCHENBERGER VOLKER
IPC: G01N11/00
Filed: 1998-03-26
Abstract: Rheological properties determine the suitability for biaxial orientation. The suitability of a partially crystalline polymers, especially a polypropylene polymer, for the preparation of biaxially oriented foils and films can be decided by determination of its rheological properties. The method involves determination of the viscosity change with temperature in the region of the melting point, definition of a characteristic quantity in such a way that its value is inversely related to the viscosity change with temperature, determination of the extent of strain hardening on partial melting of the polymer, for which a characteristic quantity is so defined that its value is the greater the more marked the strain hardening. Both characteristic quantities when multiplied together are coupled to an end characteristic quantity, so that the suitability of the partially crystalline polymer is the better the larger the value of the end characteristic quantity.
