Abstract: Objective lenses for endoscopes are made substantially of sapphire. The high refractive index of sapphire results in optical components with shallower curvatures, leading to smaller geometric aberrations, and consequently, fewer components are required to correct for these aberrations. Chromatic aberrations are less severe because of sapphire's low dispersion. The objectives may be either of the landscape or retrofocus type, and are compact with moderate field of view, low f-number, and less distortion than most conventional designs.

Abstract: A kink suppression technique is disclosed in which optical characteristics of a distributed feedback laser diode's resonant cavity are controlled to preferentially prevent establishment of higher order lateral modes. This results in increased kink powers and thus the useful power range of the device. Specifically, an optical layer, preferably silicon or titanium, is disposed along the optical axis, on the etched upper cladding layer, and on both sides of the ridge.

Abstract: The circuit has a lock that is unlocked when a fault current occurs, whereby contacts in the protected network remain open. A first stage has a first summing current converter whose secondary signal is fed to a trigger so that when a fault current occurs the trigger is activated independently of the network voltage. A second stage has a second summing current converter with a core pre-magnetised by a device supplied form the network and whose core operating point changes when a fault current occurs and a trigger activating signal is generated. The first stage is an energy storage stage with an energy storage device (C3). The pre-magnetising device is an oscillator and the second stage (18) is connected via a controlled semiconductor (Q3) and a threshold switch (IC3) to the first energy storage device, which is charged if a first fault current level is reached. The stages are decoupled by a diode.

Abstract: Subject of this invention is a process for the chemical synthesis of polynucleotides having totally or partially random sequences, based on the utilization, as synthesis monomer units for the random sequence part, or presynthesized mononucleotides and dinucleotides. Said synthesis is carried out on separate supports, so that on each of those supports is alternated at least one reaction cycle wherein a mixture of said dinucleotides is bound, with at least one reaction cycle wherein a mononucleotide is bound, and that in a preferred embodiment at the end of the n cycles required for a codon synthesis, the supports are mixed and then redivided into one or more reaction containers. The resulting polynucleotides are such that, for the random sequence part, each trinucleotide unit is fit to match only a limited number of codons, predefined for each unity in number and sequence, and the genetic code degeneracy effects can thus be eliminated. FIG. 1 shows the chemical structure of the dinucleotides utilized as monomer units for the synthesis of codons forming the final sequence.
