Abstract: Method for determining the orientation of a robot movement axis in a first robot coordinate system with the movement axis linking fist and second locations. The method employs a coordinate measurement device (4) operating in a second world coordinate system (WKS) that is independent of the robot coordinate system. The system is used to determine at least three plotted points relating to the first robot end location and one plotted point for the second end location. The measurements are used to determine the location of the movement axis relative to the robot coordinate system.

Abstract: A polarizing element 20 includes a cholesteric layer
21 that selectively reflects either one of right-handed and
left-handed circularly polarized components of incident light,
and an absorptive elliptical polarizing plate 22 that is
laminated to the cholesteric layer 21. The polarizing plate
22 transmits elliptically polarized light that contains as
its main component the circularly polarized component having
the direction of optical rotation that is identical to that
of the circularly polarized component selectively reflected
by the cholesteric layer 21. In this polarizing element 20,
the angle (angle of lamination) which the direction of the
major axes of liquid crystalline molecules aligned on the
absorptive-elliptical-polarizing-plate-side surface of the
cholesteric layer 21, d1, forms with the direction of the
major axis of elliptically polarized light produced by the
absorptive elliptical polarizing plate 22, d2, falls in a
specified angle range centering around 90°.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to a method and an
arrangement for transferring information in a packet radio
service. The invention further concerns the technology of
transferring control information relating to packet data
transfer resources on individual packet-switched radio
connections at the interface between a transmitting device
and a receiving device. It s an objective of this invention to
provide a method and a system that offers solutions to the
prior art problems. Especially, it is an object of this
invention to provide a solution for signalling, which
enables the use of more than one connection (TBF) and
time slot for packet data transfer in one data transfer
direction, and the use of asymmetric resources for
uplink/downlink data transfer. The objectives of the
invention are fulfilled by providing a procedure, in which
the one and same uplink control channel is used for
transferring uplink control information, which relates to at
least two downlink TBFs. This is preferably achieved by
including in the uplink control message information on
which downlink time slot the concerned TBF is transferred,
assuming the uplink control channel uses an uplink timeslot
of which the peer downlink timeslot (i.e. with same
timeslot number) is not used by the concerned TBF. It is
also preferably achieved by including in a downlink control
message information on which uplink time slot control
information is transferred corresponding to a determined
TBF.

IPC: C02F1/66

Abstract: There is provided a process for treating industrial wastewater (11) that substantially eliminates the generation of excess solids in the system requiring mechanical removal. The wastewater undergoes an equalization step (14, 16) wherein hydraulic flow is smoothed and the pH of the wastewater is adjusted to near neutral ph conditions. The equalized wastewater (17) is then transferred to aeration tanks (20, 22) where the organic process wastes are absorbed, metabolized, or otherwise biodegraded by the micro-organisms in the mixed liquor in the aeration tanks. After the aeration step, the wastewater is separated by gravity in a clarifying step to separate the wastewater into a liquid phase and a semi-solid phase. The clarified liquid phase (30) is withdrawn from the clarifier and discharged, while the semi-solid phase is transferred either directly back to the Aeration/biological treatment step, as recycle-activated sludge (36), or into a bioreactor (32) as waste-activated sludge. In the bioreactor the semi-solid phase is subjected to active aeration. The aerated waste activated sludge is then batch-recycled to the equalization tank (14, 16) discharging to the aeration step where it is mixed into newly introduced untreated wastewater and undergoes a new cycle of biological treatment. As a result of the indirect batchrecycling of bioreactor waste-activated sludge into the mixed liquor (biomass containing waste sludge) under aeration, which is also receiving recycle-activated sludge and enzymes, the excess solids generated in this process virtually eliminated.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for manufacturing single mode optical
fiber which incorporates a spin in the molten fiber during manufacturing. The
introduction of spin minimizes a form of distortion called polarization mode
dispersion (PMD) and varying the spin, i.e. changing its characteristics, is known
to further reduce PMD. However, introducing spin on a molten fiber may result in
also introducing twist on the fiber. Twist is a non-permanent rotational force on
the cooled fiber which causes stress and is to be avoided. A spin function is
disclosed that not only contains a high degree of variability for reducing PMD, but
also ensures that mechanical twist on the fiber is minimized, thus reducing stress
on the fiber. The spin function modulates either the amplitude, frequency, or both,
at the beginning of a cycle to minimize twist on the fiber.
