Abstract: An apparatus for terminating an optical fiber includes a resiliently deformable spherical member disposed in contact with a front end of a bore of an optical fiber contact body. Subsequent to softening an adhesive disposed within the contact body bore, an optical fiber is inserted through the bore and the adhesive until the fiber contacts the blocking member and deforms it. The resiliency of the blocking member causes adhesive to be wiped off the front face of the fiber being terminated and into an annulus formed between an outer cylindrical surface of the fiber and an inner cylindrical surface of the bore, and causes the fiber front end to be recessed a predetermined amount from a front end of the contact body.

Abstract: The avalanche photo-diode has an avalanche multiplication layer (33) made of a material which can cause a resonant impact ionization, provided between a window layer (34) having a big band gap energy and a light-absorbing layer (32) having a band gap energy smaller than that of the window layer. Field intensity in the light absorbing layer is lowered, thus reducing dark current produced by tunnel effect in the light absorbing layer. A large ionization ratio is obtained during resonant impact ionization allowing a a reduction of the excessive noise factor and of the operating DC voltage applied to the APD, and an increase in operation speed. Excessive noise factor below 3, an operating voltage as low as 12.5 V, and operation at 10 GHZ are achieved.

Abstract: Apparatus for suppressing explosions comprises a reservoir means (5,25) containing hot pressurised water which is heated by a heating means (9,28). On explosion conditions occurring in an enclosure (2,20,21,22) a high speed differential pressure diaphragm (10,40) is fractured to release a charge of hot pressurised water into the enclosure. When the water enters the enclosure portion it is converted into water droplets to suppress the flame front of a deflagration and portion of the water flashes off as flash steam to reduce the oxygen concentration and suppress the explosion. A differential pressure diaphragm 40 comprises a pair of bursting diaphragms having a space therebetween which is maintained at a balance pressure. When explosion conditions occur the balance is disturbed and the diaphragms burst under the higher pressure.

Abstract: In a process for recycling organic pollutants contained in the fly ash from an incinerator into the latter for the destruction of dioxins and furans in filter cakes formed, for example, by solid/liquid separation from fly ash combined with scrubbing fluid, as residues from a waste incinerator, the pollutants are embedded before the recycle into a ceramic matrix which remains essentially stable dimensionally even under the mechanical stress in the incincerator until after the temperature action due to the combustion of the slag. For this purpose, the filter cakes are adjusted to a defined residual moisture content, subsequently mixed with a defined fraction of bentonite, heated and then recycled at a defined geometry into the incinerator furnace.
