Abstract: A method for making preforms by vapour phase soot deposition processes is disclosed, whereby an oxidizing atmosphere is used during at least part of the deposition process; e.g. during the deposition of the centre portion of the preform. The oxidizing atmosphere results from supplying oxygen, available to react with the fuel, in an amount which is stoichiometrically in excess of that required to fully oxidize the fuel. This results in enhanced dopant capture, reduced axial inhomogeneities (e.g. of dopant) in the consolidated preform and finished fibre, and an overall stabilization of the deposition process. A method for selecting burner flow rates which optimize the deposition process is also disclosed. The reaction deposition burner used to carry out the process has:- a first passageway (13) and second passageway (15), both of which carry at least oxygen but no fuel; a third passageway (17) to carry at least fuel and oxygen; and optionally a fourth passageway (19) to carry at least oxygen but no fuel, for shaping the flame.

Abstract: A commodity metering system, particularly for metering electricity, comprises a credit meter having an optical port via which it can be reprogrammed and its readings of the amount of the commodity supplied can be accessed. To convert the meter into a prepayment metering system, a separate prepayment unit is connected to it by means of an optical link which is sealingly coupled to the optical port of the meter. The prepayment unit stores credit read from credit tokens, typically in the form of electronic keys, smart cards or magnetic cards, and periodically reads the meter via the optical link. When the monetary value of the amount of the commodity supplied equals the value of the credit stored, the prepayment unit cuts off the supply of the commodity. The prepayment unit also has an optical port, which communicates via the optical link with the optical port of the meter and via which the meter readings can be accessed and both the meter and the prepayment unit can be reprogrammed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a movable ventilation system provided for a work station whose atmosphere is vitiated by solvent vapour, toxic gases or dust from which it is desired to protect the operators of the workstation. This system comprises a blowing plenum (14) overhanging a grating floor (8) mounted over a pit (1) which is maintained under a reduced pressure in order to form an extraction area where the air blown by the plenum (14) and laden with polluting agents emitted in the work zone is extracted. The plenum (14) has a blowing surface area less than the total surface area of the pit (1) of the system and is mounted on a plenum-supporting carriage (11) which can move along the entire length of the system. Means (3, 7, 11, 27) are provided for limiting the extraction area on the grating floor (8) to an area corresponding substantially to the blowing surface area of the plenum (14) projected onto the grating floor (8), this area moving in conjunction with the carriage supporting the plenum (14).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an ophthalmoscope, especially a confocal scanning ophthalmoscope in which the scanning device (10, 11) can be imaged on a pupil (14) under different lateral amplifications. Switching between the lateral amplifications is implemented by shifting the spherical concave mirror (13). The astigmatism of the concave mirror (13) which has changed because of the changed lateral amplification is compensated by the fact that the shifting of the concave mirror (13) has a shifting component at right angles to the principal axis (13H) of the concave mirror (13).

Abstract: The invention relates to an emergency cut-out device for internal combustion engines for returning the control rods (7) of injection pumps (6) to zero delivery when, due to a defect, filling control by the means provided is no longer possible. For this purpose a shaft (3) with two shaft sections (4, 5) is provided in the linkange between control element (1) and control rod (7), which shaft sections in normal operation are connected to one another by a torsionally rigid coupling (9) and are set in rotational movement by the control pulses of the control element (1). In the event of a fault, the coupling (9) is detached by axial separation of the coupling halves assigned to the two shaft sections (4, 5). An axial piston (20), to which pressure medium can be admitted and which is movable against the force of a spring (17) acting on the coupling (9) in the longitudinal direction of the shaft (3), serves for this purpose. In addition the shaft section (5) on the control rod side is equipped with a rotary piston (24) to which, in order to return the control rod (7) to zero delivery, pressure medium can be admitted. It is especially advantageous that the installation of the emergency cut-out device in the transmission path between control element (1) and control rod (7) does not increase the power received from the control element (1) in normal operation, which gives a good control capability. The design of the device with a shaft (3) and hydraulically actuated elements permits a simple construction with a single coupling (9) for low-backlash transmission of the control pulses. <IMAGE>
