Title: Dispositif graphique a base de reseau avec compensation thermique a compression axiale
Inventor: SULLIVAN JAMES M
IPC: G02B6/293
Filed: 2001-02-22
Granted: 2011-05-17
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif optique à compensation thermique comprenant un verre (10) accordé par compression présentant un réseau de Bragg (12) se trouvant à l'intérieur, une entretoise (26) de matériau de compensation et un embout (28), tous contenus dans une coquille extérieure (30). L'élément (10), l'embout (28) et la coquille (30) sont fabriqués à partir d'un matériau présentant un coefficient de dilatation thermique (CDT) faible, par exemple, la silice, le quartz, etc. L'entretoise (26) est fabriquée à partir d'un matériau présentant un coefficient de dilatation thermique plus élevé, par exemple, le métal, le Pyrex®, la céramique, etc. Le matériau et la longueur (L5) de l'entretoise (26) sont sélectionnés de manière à compenser le décalage de la longueur d'onde du réseau ascendant causé par la température. Au fur et à mesure que la température augmente, l'entretoise (26) se dilate plus rapidement que la structure de silice, cela provoque une déformation par compression de l'élément (10), qui décale la longueur d'onde du réseau (12) en amont de manière à compenser la température intrinsèque induite par le décalage en aval de la longueur d'onde. Ainsi, la longueur d'onde du réseau (12) reste sensiblement stable sur une plage de températures étendue. L'élément (10) comprend soit une fibre optique présentant au moins un réseau Bragg (12) imprimé dedans et incorporé et réuni par fusion dans au moins une portion d'un tube capillaire en verre ou d'un guide d'ondes (une barrette) de grand diamètre comprenant un réseau (12) qui présente un noyau (11) et une gaine optique large. Le tube susmentionné ne se plie pas au delà d'une gamme étendue de déformation longitudinale par compression. Ledit élément peut présenter une forme de "bobine" permettant d'amplifier la déformation par compression sur le réseau (12). Le dispositif (8) peut également être disposé dans un système accordable axialement qui permet à la longueur d'ondes d'être accordée de manière dynamique tout en restant athermique. Outre un réseau, le dispositif peut également consister en un laser athermique, en un laser à rétroaction répartie, etc. De plus, l'ensemble du dispositif (8) peut être fabriqué à partir de matériaux de verre monolithique.

Title: Twin screw rotors and displacement machines containing the same
Inventor: BECHER ULRICH
IPC: F04C18/08
Filed: 2001-07-06
Granted: 2008-09-16
Abstract: The twin screw rotors for axially parallel instalment in displacement machines for compressible media have asymmetrical transverse profiles and arc numbers which are >= 2. The pitch (L) varies according to the angle of contact (.alpha.), increasing in a first partial area (T1) from the suction-side screw end, reaching a maximum value (Lmax) after completing an arc, decreasing in a second partial area (T2) until it reaches a minimum value (Lmin) and being constant in a third partial area (T3). The pitch curve in the first partial area (T1) is preferably mirror-symmetrical to that in the second partial area (T2); within the partial areas T1 to T2, the pitch curve is point-symmetrical to the average values in almost all cases, respectively. As a result, it is possible to obtain compact screw rotors which are completely free of unbalance, with compression rates of 1Ø..10.0, even without profile variation. Rotors of this type offer excellent preconditions for reducing energy requirements, temperature, construction space and costs and for the free choice of materials, with applications in chemistry, pharmacy, packaging and semiconductor technology.
