Abstract: Apparatus for optically interconnecting integrated circuits (202,204) that reduces optical path alignment difficulties and enhances signal quality. Employs one or more holographic optical elements (409, 601; 704) adapted for directing one or more modulated beams of light. Because each holographic optical element is individually aligned with a respective photonic device (406, 408), the apparatus is free from registration run off that is associated with large dimension optical substrates employed in previous optical interconnect schemes. Accordingly, optical path alignment between transmitting photonic devices and receiving photonic devices is preserved. 
     In the preferred embodiment each hologram is integral with the respective photonic device, preferably by etching each hologram into a respective surface of the respective photonic device. Accordingly, in the preferred embodiment, the hologram individually aligned with the second photonic device (408) is integral with a receiving surface (409) of the second photonic device. Similarly, the hologram individually aligned with the first photonic device (406) is integral with an emitting surface (407) of the first photonic device. The hologram integral with the first photonic device (406) directs each of the optical paths followed by the modulated beam of light as it passes from the emitting surface (407) of the first photonic device. Features of the hologram integral first photonic device are etched into the emitting surface and arranged for directing the path of the beam of light at an oblique angle with respect to the emitting surface.

Abstract: The method for cleaning pipes, in particular installed pipelines (49, 31) envisages that an abrasive medium is passed through a pipe to be cleaned with at least one liquid and one gaseous fluid. The gaseous fluid is in this case present in excess. The acceleration of the mixture can take place by high and/or low pressure. As a result of the use of a liquid, a more protective cleaning can be achieved in contrast to known dry methods. The cleaned pipe is blown dry and subsequently coated with a plastic. The coating takes place by sucking in a synthetic resin plug. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Fluorescence polarization methods for detection of nucleic acid amplification. A fluorescently labelled oligodeoxynucleotide probe is converted from single- to double-stranded form in a target dependent manner during amplification of the target sequence. This conformational change is accompanied by an increase in fluorescence polarization values. The iincrease in fluorescence polarization can be measured on a transient-state fluorometer in real-time during the amplification reaction without any physical manipulation of the sample. The inventive methods therefore provide a closed, homogeneous system for both amplification of target sequences and detection of amplification. Alternatively, amplification may be detected in the fluorometer after the amplification reaction is completed.

Abstract: A driving shaft having splined male and female shafts. The spline tooth pattern of the male shaft seen in a cross-section comprises an inclined portion substantially similar to those of a symmetrical spline tooth pattern of a conventional male shaft, and an outwardly convex and gently curved portion starting from the outer end of the inclined portion and terminating in a smaller diameter portion at the bottom of the tooth pattern. The radius of the smaller diameter portion and the tooth width at the bottom of the tooth pattern are larger than those in the symmetrical spline tooth pattern of the conventional male shaft, thereby obtaining an improved driving shaft to transmit greater rotating torque. The spline sliding portion of the female shaft is formed from a hollow tube by press-forming in a manner that the outer diameter of the press-formed portion is larger than that of a hollow blank tube, thereby increasing the torque transmission diameter to reduce surface pressure resulting in prolonged service life.

Abstract: This application discloses, a unipolar laser. An exemplary embodiment of the laser was implemented in the GaInAs/AlInAs system and emits radiation of about 4.2µm wavelength. Embodiments in other material systems are possible, and the lasers can be readily designed to emit at a predetermined wavelength in a wide spectral region. We have designated the laser the "quantum cascade" (QC) laser. The QC laser comprises a multilayer semiconductor structure that comprises a multiplicity of essentially identical undoped "active" regions (11), a given active region being separated from an adjoining one by a doped "energy relaxation" region (12). The active region comprises one or more quantum wells. In one embodiment of the invention the active region is selected such that a radiative transition from a third to a second energy state substantially is a "diagonal" transition, and in another embodiment the active region is selected such that the radiative transition substantially is a "vertical" one. In the latter case the energy relaxation region advantageously comprises a superlattice Bragg reflector for charge carriers (typically electrons) of energy corresponding to the third energy state.
