Abstract: A bypass switch wherein a spherical reflector is movable between first and second positions relative to an array of optical transceivers, at locations, des­ignated the "S" (source), "D" (detector), "I" (input fiber), "O" (output fiber), and "L1" and "L2" (first and second loop) locations. An optical fiber ("loop fiber") has its ends registered at the L1 and L2 loca­tions. The six optical transceiver terminal locations are characterized by first and second symmetry points. The first symmetry point is midway between the S and O locations and midway between the I and D locations. The second symmetry point is midway the I and O loca­tions, midway between the S and L2 locations, and midway between the L1 and D locations. In the first reflector position, the center of curvature is coincident with the first symmetry point. In the second reflector posi­tion, the center of curvature is coincident with the second symmetry point. A simple geometric configuration has the six transceiver locations equidistantly spaced along a line (S, D, I, O, L1, L2), with the first sym­metry point between the D and I locations and the second between the I and O locations.

Abstract: A method for using a self-aligned metallic mask for formation of a shallow source/drain, lightly doped drain metal-oxide-semiconductor device having a self-aligned low-resistivity silicide/polysilicon gate for greater device speed. The invention involves coating a semiconductor wafer (1,2) in an intermediate stage of processing with a refractory metal layer (6) over a poly­silicon layer (5). The refractory metal layer is patterned and etched to expose corresponding portions of the underlying polysilicon layer, and then the wafer is preamorphized. After appropriate doping of N+ and P+ regions, the semiconductor wafer is subjected to an annealing process, which sinters the metal layer with the underlying polysilicon layer to form a silicide (9). The silicide provides a low resistivity path for the transistor structures, resulting in greater device speed. Use of the self-aligned metallic mask permits the fabrication of lightly doped drain semiconductor devices having shallow source and drain regions.

Abstract: A method for monitoring the quality of at least two cascaded transmission sections of a digital transmission link for transmission facilities corresponding to the synchronous digital hierarchy. For accumulating parity errors in successive transmission sections, error signalling bytes, in which parity errors are accumulated, are transmitted as special bytes in the section overhead of synchronous transport modules. A quality criterion for the transmission link monitored is obtained from a sequence of error signalling bytes. The method and the device can be advantageously used in transmission facilities of digital synchronous hierarchy.

Abstract: A light reflection defect detection apparatus (10) and method for sensing the presence of food products or other articles (16) and detecting defects therein is described using groups (42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52) of pulsed light-emitting semiconductor devices, such as light-­emitting diodes (LEDS). The LEDS emit at least three different wavelengths of light including two of visible light (i.e. red and green light) and one of infrared light. Viewers (38, 40) each including a photosensor, such as a photoelectric detector, are employed to sense the light reflected from the article (16) and to produce sensor output signals which are sampled and stored before being transmitted to a digital computer for signal processing. The groups (42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52) of LEDS are pulsed ON and OFF by a capacitor discharge pulse generator circuit which causes a substantially constant current to flow through the LEDS so that they emit light of uniform intensity. The defect detection apparatus and method is especially useful in detecting defects in elongated food products such as French-fry potato strips.

Abstract: Skimmed colostrum or colostrum whey is treated with an ultrafiltration membrane having a fractionation molecular weight of 5 - 15 × 10⁴ so as to separate intact physiologi­cally active proteins from the bovine milk. The yield of immunoglobulins contained in the separated proteins is about twice as high as the value achieved by the prior art and their quality is superior. The intact physiologically active proteins obtained by this method contain all immuno­globulins that have high neutralization antibody titres against the seven serotypes of rotavirus. Hence, rotavirus infection can be effectively prevented or treated by admin­istering these proteins to humans or animals in the form of either a pharmaceutical agent or a beverage or food that contain such proteins.
