Abstract: The invention relates to a method for setting a uniform and specific tension in running material webs, such as textile webs or the like, guided with width stretching through a treatment space, especially a dryer, in which the material webs are first introduced without width stretching into tensioning elements which are arranged on tensioning chains guided in chain tracks, and are subsequently width-stretched by a width adjustment of the chain tracks, and is aimed at guaranteeing an always specific tension in all the parts of the material web. For this, it is proposed, according to the invention, to guide the material webs (10) through the treatment station so as to be held elastically flexibly in the width-stretching direction, for example in that the tensioning elements (14), such as needle bars or tenter clips, arranged on carriers (13) on the tensioning chains and held in an end position in the width-stretching direction of the material web, are mounted on the carriers in an elastically displaceable manner.

Abstract: An optical encoder has an optically-encoded plate 1 having parallel tracks 11, 12, 13, each comprising alternate opaque, reflective regions 111, 112, 124, 131, 133, 135, 137 and transparent, non-reflective regions 112, 121, 123, 132, 134, 136, 138 which differ in length between the tracks. LED's 21, 22, 23 direct radiation onto one side of each track 11, 12, 13. Detectors 24, 25, 26 located on one side of the plate 1 provide an output in response to radiation reflected from the reflective regions of each track; detectors 34, 35, 36 located on the opposite side of the plate 1 provide an output in response to radiation transmitted through the transparent regions. The outputs from the detectors are normally complementary. A processor 4 detects any loss of complementarity and determines the position of the plate close to the boundary between adjacent regions by comparing the detector outputs as one falls and the other rises.

Abstract: A polarization independent optical isolator is disclosed which uses a single birefringent plate. A pair of stacked reciprocal rotators, a Faraday rotator, and reflector are positioned in tandem adjacent to the birefringent plate. In the forward (transmitting) direction, a lightwave signal exiting an optical fiber is split into a pair of orthogonal rays by the birefringent plate. The orthogonal rays then pass through a first reciprocal rotator and the Faraday rotator. The rotated rays are then redirected by the reflector back through the Faraday rotator. After passing through the second reciprocal rotator, the orthogonal rays re-enter the same birefringent plate where they are recombined and launched in an output fiber. Since a Faraday rotator is a non-­reciprocal device, any signal traveling through the isolator in the reverse (isolation) direction will be split on both passes through the birefringent plate such that neither will intercept the input fiber.

The device (40) delivers drug into the IV fluid (13) at a rate that is independent of the flow rate of IV fluid (13) through the formulator (30, 60). The rate of drug delivery from the device (40) into the IV fluid (13) is controlled by either the window (36) itself or by a membrance layer (46) in the drug delivery device (40). A plurality of drug delivery devices (40) may be adhered to the window (36) to deliver a plurality of drugs or to deliver a single drug at a higher dosage rate. A similar window (11) may be placed in a IV bag to deliver a drug into the IV fluid therein.

Abstract: An optical distance sensor which is featured by precise measurement and simple constitution is mounted on for example, the welding torch of an arc-welding robot. The laser beam from a laser (1) scans in a direction perpendicular to the welding line on a work (100) according to the oscillation of a mirror (2). The primary and secondary reflected lights and scattered light, except arcing light interrupted by a filter (5), are received by, the light-receiving cells of a light-receiving unit (3) comprising a one-dimensional charge coupled device, via a lens (4). When the light-receiving unit is being scanned, the outputs according to the quantity of the light are successively produced from the light-receiving cells, and data that specifies the light-receiving cells that have produced the outputs whose levels exceed a predetermined one is written in one of memory buffers (12,13). The output of the light-receiving cell is sent to a peak detecting circuit (18) via an analog switch (17) only when the data indicating that the output of the cell in the previous scanning cycle have been of the predetermined level is read out from the other memory buffer, whereby the sputtering light is removed, On the basis of the outputs of the peak detecting circuit and of the address counter (14), the robot controller (30) determines the light-receiving cell that has generated the peak output, and calculates the distance from a work by the trigonometrical survey method on the basis of the position of the cell and the oscillating angle of the mirror.
