Abstract: The present invention, the objective of which is to provide a sludge
raker constructed in a way to protect the drive unit against wear or
corrosion due to contact with waste water mixed with sludge, by eliminating
drive unit positioned in sewage, reduce wear of the scraper by moving the
separator out of contact with the bed of the basin at the time of retreat not
making any raking of sludge, and be capable of improving the durability
and energy efficiency of the equipment by reducing power loss, is a sludge
raker comprising a sludge raking device, disposed along the bed of the
sewage treating basin and realized in a way to move forward and backward,
and a driving device realized in a way to move forward and backward by
suspending the sludge raking device, characterized in that it is constructed
in such a way that said driving device is installed on the surface of the
water and, when the sludge raker moves forward in the sludge raking
direction, by means of said driving device, scraper mounted on the beam of
the sludge raking device moves along the bed of the basin and, when the
sludge raker moves in the opposite direction, at least the scraper mounted
on the rear part of the beam of the sludge raking device moves without
getting in contact with the bed of the basin, and that at least the scraper
mounted on the rear part of the beam of the sludge raking device is formed
in different shapes on the front face and the back face, so as to rake sludge
when it moves forward in the sludge raking direction and dive into the
sedimentary sludge when retreating in the opposite direction.

Abstract: The access tool includes a housing (10) and a block (20) disposed
within the housing. The housing has side walls (12) connected by a bottom
wall (15) thereby forming a channel (11). The block is disposed within the
channel so as to be slidable along the longitudinal axis of the housing, as well
as to be movable toward and away from the bottom wall so that the tool may
be used on a wide range of optical conductor sizes. The block includes at least
one projection (28) which is disposed in at least one groove (13) in the
housing so as to connect the block and housing in a simple manner. 
     To separate a sheath from an optical conductor, the optical conductor is
placed within the channel, and then the block is moved toward the bottom wall
to squeeze the optical conductor. The optical conductor is then pulled relative
to the access tool thereby separating the sheath from the fibers in the optical
conductor.

Abstract: Presented is a power down circuit for use in a system on Chip SOC.
Within the SOC are several circuit blocks, each of them having a local
clock. A system clock is coupled to the circuit blocks and is structured
to act as the local clock of selected circuit blocks. A power control
manager provides a signal that at least partially determines whether the
system clock will act as the local clock for some of the circuit blocks. 
     Within the circuit blocks is a local power control structured to
selectively maintain the system clock as the local clock of the block
after the local power control receives a signal to shut down the block
from the power control manager, if the block is currently busy when the
signal to shut down the block is received. Also presented is a method
that can be operated using the above system. The method includes
generating a system clock signal that is for use as a local clock signal
for circuit blocks that have not been shutdown. A shutdown request
signal is generated to selectively power down some of the circuit
blocks. That shutdown request signal is transmitted to a power down
circuit within the circuit block to be shutdown. The power down circuit
receives the signal to power down the circuit block, as well as a
current status of the block. After an evaluation, the cirucuit block is
shut down if the signal to power down is received and the circuit block
is presently idle.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de préparation de 4-nitrosoaniline, consistant à faire réagir de l'urée et du nitrobenzène dans un solvant organique polaire en présence d'une base à une température comprise entre une température ambiante et 150 °C. Le procédé repose sur l'utilisation d'urée, de nitrobenzène, et d'une base peu onéreux comme matières premières, ce qui réduit les coûts de production. L'urée utilisée comme donneur d'amines présente une excellente réactivité au nitrobenzène. Un intermédiaire de réaction est, en outre, instable comparé au 4-(4-nitrophényl)benzamide de façon à facilement pouvoir se dissocier en 4-nitroaniline et 4-nitrosoaniline. Le temps de réaction et du processus sont ainsi raccourcis. Le procédé est en outre avantageux en ce que des déchets nuisibles à l'environnement, ou produit dérivé, ne sont pas produits.

Abstract: A glass fiber ( 22 ) has a core ( 24 ) provided with Raman laser effect particles ( 28 ) embedded in a glass matrix ( 30 ), with glass cladding ( 26 ) around the core. The refractive index of the glass matrix ( 30 ) is matched to that of the Raman laser effect particles ( 28 ) so as to avoid scattering. It is not necessary to have a single crystal of Raman laser material to create a laser effect in the glass fiber. A length of fiber in the order of meters or tens of meters can produce optical laser light. It is possible to have a single fiber ( 22 ) emit laser light at different frequencies due to Stokes and Anti-Stokes emissions. A simple laser device can therefore produce several colors of laser beams.
