Abstract: Inphase and quadrature signals are applied to first, second and third correlators, the first correlator being arranged to generate prompt signals, the second correlator being arranged to generate late signals and the third correlator being arranged to generate early signals. The output from the first correlator is passed to estimation means and signals generated from the estimation means are multiplied with the outputs from the first and second correlators in respect of each channel. The inphase and quadrature channel signals generated from the second and third correlators are added together and the sum of signals are then subtracted to generate a signal for controlling a loop filter and clock generation means controls the analogue to digital converters.

Abstract: A pressure sensor capable of measuring pressure in a harsh environment includes at least one intrinsic fiber optic sensor element formed within a core of an optical fiber. A length of the optical fiber containing the sensor element is attached to a pressure sensitive structure. A dimension of the pressure sensitive structure changes in response to changes in the pressure of a pressure field of the environment. The sensor element is responsive to an input signal and to a strain caused by changes in the dimension of the pressure sensitive structure for providing a pressure signal indicative of the pressure. A temperature compensation sensor is also formed in the fiber near the location of the pressure sensor. The temperature sensor is isolated from strain associated with the pressure for providing temperature compensation of the pressure sensor. Alternatively, temperature compensation is provided by an intrinsic fiber optic sensor element mounted to experience an equal but opposite strain associated with changes in the dimension of the pressure sensitive structure.

Abstract: An extruder die head, preferably a blown film head, comprises an internal cylindrical mandrel and a concentric jacket. Between the mandrel and jacket an annular channel is formed that empties into a die slit. The die head also includes at least one polymer melt feed line in communication with the annular channel remote from the die slit. To prevent a gap appearing between the central mandrel and the jacket as a result of differential thermal expansion, in which polymer melt can become trapped and degrade, thus causing defects in the extrusion, the joint faces between the parts of the die head are located radially relative to the cylinder axis of the die head.
