Inventor: MATSUMOTO RYOKICHI
IPC: G02B6/28
Filed: 2000-05-26
Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a polarization-maintaining optical fiber coupler by heating lengthwise portions of two polarization-maintaining optical fibers extending side by side, and elongating the heated portions to thereby form a fused-elongated section, elongation is terminated when the cyclic changes in a coupling ratio of two polarized waves according to an elongation length at a wavelength in use are both within first two cycles, so that the coupling ratio of one of the polarized waves is equal to or less than 10% and the coupling ratio of the other one of the polarized waves is equal to or greater than 90%. This method can provide a polarization-maintaining optical fiber coupler whose coupling ratio has a large dependency on polarization with a short elongation length.

Title: Tooling utility system
Inventor: BAL GREGORY W
IPC: B25H3/06
Filed: 1998-12-18
Abstract: A tooling utility system especially well suited for punches and dies employed in pharmaceutical tableting procedures is described. Punch trays, nesting one on top of another, have support rails with oppositely positioned arcuate cut-outs which provide nesting segments for securing the punches during transport and storage. The punch trays include side rails which position the punch away from the inside surface of the side walls to allow for thorough cleaning and run off. Dies, placed within a cavity including a die support, are similarly secured in position. The die cavity includes a nesting rail which pitches the die at a slight angle to facilitate cleaner fluid run off. A substantial portion of the surface area of the punches and dies remain fully exposed, making for simplified inspection and cleaning procedures, including placing the vertically nesting trays directly into a sonic cleaner. The trays themselves form the outer structure of the tool system, secured together by front and back snap-on side cover handles. A unique tongue and groove interlocking arrangement is described which is disposed upon the top and bottom surfaces of the trays.

IPC: B41N3/00
Filed: 2000-08-18
Abstract: A method for reversible imaging of a printing form is provided included feeding a coated transfer film between a printing form and an image information transfer unit having a transfer head. A surface of the printing form is then imaged using image data oriented activation to transfer the transfer film coating in the form of image spots to the printing form.

Title: Method for producing and shaping food, such as meat products and sausages
Inventor: KORTSCHACK FRITZ
IPC: A23L13/00
Filed: 1999-02-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production and forming of food which is wrapped in foils prior to the final preservation as a protection against recontamination.      The filled foils or foil bags, respectively, are aligned between plates which are provided with cavities. In order to achieve a uniform distribution of the fill material within the foil bags, the plates are first advanced towards each other.      Upon a certain plate distance or internal pressure of the bag, the air between foil and cavity is drawn off through fine holes in the plate cavities. Thereby, the foil is stretched and pressed against the inner wall of the cavities. At the same time, the sausage meat is completely urged into the cavities by the further reduction of the plate distance so that the unformed foils are planely superposing each other.      If the finished products are to be withdrawn individually from the packages, it is possible to seal the planely superposing foil areas through a fat and protein film. If packages are desired which enable the simultaneous removal of several products, gates are employed for maintaining the shape during further processing.

Inventor: KOYAMA SHIGERU
IPC: F16H63/30
Filed: 2000-10-17
Abstract: In a transmission for automobiles, the shift feeling is improved by smoothly transferring the operational load between a shift rod and a reverse  shift fork. This is accomplished by cam faces formed on a reverse shift fork which shifts a reverse idle gear between a neutral position and a reverse position , and cam faces are formed on a drive cam which moves integrally with a shift rod. When the drive cam is moved from a neutral position to the reverse position,  one of the cam faces presses against another of the cam faces moving the reverse  shift fork in a circular manner in an anticlockwise direction, and the reverse idl e gear moves to the reverse position. When the drive cam member is moved from the reverse position to the neutral position, another of the cam faces presses against still another of the cam faces moving the reverse shift fork in a circular manner in a clockwise direction, and the reverse idle gear moves to the neutral position.
