Inventor: WAYNE KENNETH J
IPC: G02B7/00
Filed: 1999-09-02
Abstract: An optical device mounting apparatus and method for altering and fixing the angular
position of an optical device without substantial linear displacement. The apparatus
comprises a kinematic mount which permits precision adjustment and clamping. The
apparatus includes a sphere (12), which either contains an optical device mounted therein or
is, at least partially, an optical device itself. A support (14) is placed in physical contact with
the outer surface of the sphere (12) such that angular displacement of the sphere (12) is
possible with substantially no linear displacement thereof. A clamp (18) in physical contact
with the outer surface of the sphere (12) provides force through the sphere (12) to the support
(14) with substantially no transmitted torque. In this manner, precise positioning of the
optical device is possible, for example, with an external and removable tool (39). In various
alternative embodiments, a central axis of the optical device may be positioned along a
central axis of the sphere (12) and/or all clamping forces may be directed through the center
of rotation of the sphere (12).

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions
comprising polymers whose solubility characteristics can be
changed by incubation. Another aspect of this invention is
the application of such temperature sensitive polymers as
release systems of biologically active compounds. The
polymers of the present invention, comprise monomers which
have modifiable functionality. The functionality of the
monomers can for example be modified by the presence of
hydrolysable groups. The modification is effected by the
incubation, leading to a change of the water solubility
characteristics of the polymer. The polymers used in the
present invention contain hydrolysable chemical groups. As a
result the polymer's solution characteristics, specifically
its lower critical solution temperature (LCST), change upon
incubation.

Abstract: Speech recording is effected in a GSM phone handset (100) by storing in
a memory (116) speech frames during the presence of speech, one or more SID frames
during the absence of speech, and data representative of the duration of the absence of
speech. In this way memory (116) does not store silent speech frames, and utilisation of
memory space is therefore particularly efficient. In addition, items such as a voice
activity detector and a comfort noise estimator, which are already provided in the
handset as part of the GSM system, are "re-used" by the invention, thereby making
efficient use of already-provided hardware/software.

Abstract: Dans cette invention, du ferriérite est soumis à un échange d'ions avec des métaux de terres rares trivalents par un procédé d'échange ionique hydrothermique. On réalise l'échange ionique en mettant en contact le ferriérite, dont les positions d'échange cationique sont occupées par de l'hydrogène ou un précurseur d'hydrogène, avec une solution aqueuse d'un ou plusieurs cations de métaux de terres rares à une température supérieure au point d'ébullition de la solution. Après l'échange ionique, de préférence 10 % au moins et plus préférablement 15 % au moins de la capacité d'échange cationique du ferriérite sont occupés par un cation de métaux de terres rares trivalents. Lorsqu'il est combiné avec un métal catalytique, tel qu'un métal noble du groupe VIII, ce ferriérite ayant subi un échange ionique avec des métaux de terres rares trivalents peut être utilisé comme catalyseur de déparaffinage ayant une bonne sélectivité pour les fractions des huiles lubrifiantes, en particulier lors du déparaffinage d'un hydro-isomérate de paraffine de Fischer-Tropsch.
