Title: Optical concentrator and optical communication network using the same
Inventor: YAMAMOTO NOBORU
IPC: H04Q11/00
Filed: 1993-10-13
Abstract: In an optical concentrator, a plurality of ports are provided for inputting and outputting first and second optical signals having different wavelength regions. An optical coupler is connected to each of the plurality of ports without being through remaining ones of the plurality of ports. The optical coupler transmits the second optical signal input from one of the plurality of ports to at least one of the remaining ports. A transmitter is provided to connect the plurality of ports in a loop form. The first optical signal input from each port is transmitted from the transmitter. Demultiplexers are arranged at each port for demultiplexing the first and second optical signals input from each port so as to guide the first optical signal to the transmitter and the second optical signal to the optical coupler. <IMAGE>

Title: Apparatus and method for withdrawing gasous decomposition products from a refuse dump
Inventor: SCHNEIDER REINHARD
IPC: B09B1/00
Filed: 1985-11-11
Abstract: An apparatus and method for withdrawing gaseous decomposition products from a refuse dump. Disposed at various locations in the refuse are gas collection mechanisms, such as gas wells, drainage systems, etc., each of which is connected via a gas withdrawal line with a collector, from which the gas is withdrawn for further utilization. Disposed in each gas withdrawal line is a sensor and a regulatable shutoff device. The sensor transmits the content of a characteristic constituent of the gas flow in a given gas withdrawal line to a measuring and control unit, which monitors the gas flow volume as a function of a comparison of the sensor signals with preset threshold values. If the sensors indicate that the content of the characteristic constituent of the gas flow exceeds or drops below the preset threshold values, the measuring and control unit opens or closes the associated shutoff device by an appropriate amount.

Title: Method and apparatus for controlling the operation of a solenoid
Inventor: KITSON MARK RAYMOND
IPC: F02D41/34
Filed: 1990-05-21
Abstract: A method of controlling the operation of a solenoid, particularly for operating the fuel delivery valve of a fuel injector of an internal combustion engine. The method comprises controlling the rate of rise of the current in the solenoid (11) winding at a predetermined rate during at least the period between initiation of the current supply (10) and the commencement of movement of the solenoid armature. The said predetermined rate of rise of the current being preferably linear and being independent of the maximum rate attainable at the nominal voltage of the electrical source supplying the current. The rate of rise of the current is monitored (13) and the supply voltage is cyclically varied in response to said monitoring to maintain the predetermined rate of rise of the current. Also the cyclic variations of the current is monitored (22) to detect when the frequency of said cycles substantially change indicating the completion of the full extent of the movement of the solenoid (11) armature.

Title: Oxidative conversion of methane to ethylene and ethane
Inventor: KIMBLE JAMES BAILEY
IPC: C07C2/84
Filed: 1986-05-19
Abstract: A method for the oxidative conversion of a feed material comprising methane, such as natural gas, to higher hydrocarbons, particularly ethylene and ethane and desirably ethylene, in which feed is contacted with a solid contact material comprising cobalt; at least one metal selected from the group consisting of zirconium, zinc, niobium, indium, lead and bismuth, preferably, zirconium; phosphorous; at least one Group IA metal; and oxygen under oxidative conversion conditions sufficient to convert the methane to the higher hydrocarbons. Substantial improvement in the conversion of methane and selectivity to ethylene and ethane is obtained by adding chlorine to the contact material. The further addition of sulfur to the contact material also improves the conversion and selectivity and permits the method to be carried out in an essentially continuous manner in the presence of a free oxygen containing gas.

Patent AU-6517094-A (AU)
Title: Atm networks for narrow band communications
Inventor: HILLER THOMAS LLOYD
IPC: H04Q3/00
Filed: 1994-03-01
Abstract: Pulse Code Modulations (PCM) signal streams are converted into Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) cells for switching and transmissions across a telecommunications network. Each cell carries one PCM sample of up to 48 different voice connections, the voice connections being selected from the PCM data streams because they have a common destination. The cells are transmitted over ATM virtual paths, each path transmitting one cell every 125  mu s. The ATM signals are switched by units for switching cells (cell switching), while keeping their payload contents intact, and by units for switching the signals for individual voice connections between cells of an ATM signal (cell remapping). Advantageously, ATM transmission systems interface with PCM systems without adding appreciable delay and without requiring additional buffering. Advantageously, new voice paths can be established most of the time by using available slots in the cells of existing virtuals paths. Advantageously, large telecommunication networks can be implemented using a small number of switching units. Advantageously, a central communications network comprising stages of cell remapping interconnected by one or more stages of cell switching provides flexibility for interconnecting large access switched; the cell remapping stage may be made part of the access switch. Advantageously, an access switch comprising a cell mapping or distribution stage for assembling cells comprising PCM samples headed for a common output of the access switch are switched in a cell switch to a cell remap unit for collecting PCM samples headed for a common destination into individual cells of an ATM output stream, provides output signals that can be readily and efficiently switched by a transit network for distribution to other access switches of a large network. Advantageously, such a cell remap unit provides a key element to the implementation of an efficient large ATM voice network. For use with PCM switches, it is desirable to provide supervisory signals accompanying the PCM data. Advantageously, this arrangement permits supervisory signals to be passed within an access switch thus simplifying compatibility with existing switching systems.
