Abstract: A hologram exposure system that includes a spherically curved mirror surface (17) positioned adjacent a substrate/hologram assembly (20) that includes a spherically curved hologram recording layer supported by a spherically curved substrate surface, wherein the spherically curved mirror surface is concentric with the spherically curved substrate surface. A first rotating means (11) provides for rotation of the curved mirror surface about a first axis (X) that passes through (a) the center of curvature of the spherically curved substrate surface that supports the hologram recording layer, and (b) a point on the hologram recording layer that allows for convenient rotation about the first axis; and a second rotating means (15) provides for rotation of the curved mirror surface about a second axis (2) that is orthogonal to the first axis and intersects the first axis at the center of curvature of the substrate surface that supports the hologram recording layer. The desired hologram area of the recording layer is holographically exposed by controllably rotating the mirror/recording layer/substrate assembly about the first and second axes while illuminating the assembly with an exposure beam (EB) that is incident on the recording layer at the intersection of the recording layer with said first axis and passes through the recording layer to be reflected by said mirror surface.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a metal oxide film formed on a glass substrate by the so-gel process with using a solution of a metal alkoxide. To afford water repellency to the oxide film, a fluoroalkylsilane is mixed with an alkoxysilane solution in the molar ratio of the alkoxysilane to the fluoroalkylsilane ranging from 1:10 to 10:1. Then, the mixed solution is diluted with a solvent such that the total concentration of the alkoxysilane and the fluoroalkylsilane is from 1 to 10 wt% in a diluted solution. Then, water in the amount of 100 mol% to 1000 mol% of the total amounts of the fluoroalkylsilane and the alkoxysilane is added to the diluted solution so as to partially hydrolyze the fluoroalkylsilane and the alkoxysilane, thereby forming a sol. Then, the sol is applied to the glass substrate, and the coated glass substrate is heated so as to form the metal oxide film thereon.

Abstract: In this invention, at least two laser diodes (48,52) are coupled via a 3dB optical coupler (50) to supply pump power to each of the two optical fiber amplifiers (30,36) simultaneously. If one of the laser diode pumps fails, the other laser diode pump is issued to provide pump power to each of the optical fiber amplifiers. Thus, with the addition of a 3dB coupler, pump redundancy for a pair of optical fiber amplifiers is obtained with only two laser diode pumps instead of the normally required four laser diode pumps. In practice, only one of the two pumps needs to be active, and the other can be turned on only when the first pump fails. In another embodiment, the two laser diode pumps can be active at all times and each laser diode pump is operated at either full or less than full power. In the arrangement where the laser diode pumps are operated simultaneously at less than full power, when a pump failure occurs the power output of the good laser diode pump can be increased to compensate for the loss of power from the defective pump.

Abstract: A device is provided for regulating the tension on shoelaces of the type worn in conventional footwear. The shoelace tension regulating device is mounted on the top of the shoe with which it is used, preferably by lacing the shoelace ends through a pair of apertures in the housing of the device. The shoelace ends which emanate from the uppermost eyelets of the shoe adjacent the wearers ankle are not tied, as in conventional practice, but are captured by a hook mechanism that is wound onto a drum within the device by means of a crank in the form of a rotatable cap. The drum is carried in rotation as the cap is turned until the desired level of tension on the shoelace ends has been achieved. A pawl and ratchet wheel in the device prevent counter-rotation until the user desires to release tension on the shoelace ends, at which time the pawl can be disengaged from the ratchet wheel by an actuating mechanism operable externally of the device. An internal helically wound band spring interposed between the drum and the crank permits slight reciprocal movement of the shoelace ends to avoid excessive tension when the footwear upper is severely flexed, and to also avoid excessively reduced tension when the users foot is relaxed.

Abstract: The method according to the invention and the means according to the invention are used to collect printed products, fed as continuous streams (1, 2, 3, etc.), into groups in at least one grouping section (10.1/2/3), it being possible for each group to be made up of one product from each of a number of feed streams in accordance with a predetermined group sequence. Production of defective groups is avoided by registering defects in the feed flows at any early time, so that groups which would be affected by a defect are not formed in the predetermined cycle, but are delayed a cycle. The stream of groups resulting from the method therefore does not contain any defective groups but gaps. To carry out the method, a feed monitoring unit, a feed buffering unit and a controlled delivery unit are inserted between the feeds (63.4/5) of the products and the grouping unit (10.1/2). Transport devices with carriers are used as the means (64.2/3/4, etc.) to carry out these three method steps, which carriers are connected to one another by a drag connection and are moved on an endless guide by two drives which are controlled essentially independently of each other. The carriers are monitored after passing an acceptance point at which they accept a product from the feed unit (63.4/5), defective products being registered. The carriers then reach a buffer space and leave it via a controlled delivery point, at which they deliver the product to the grouping unit.

Title: Procede de fabrication de plaquettes de circuits imprimes a trous metallises ou multicouches
Inventor: STADTMUELLER LUDWIG
IPC: H05K3/42
Filed: 1991-12-07
Abstract: Un procédé de fabrication de plaquettes de circuits imprimés à trous métallisés ou multicouches combine deux procédés connues en soi. Selon le premier, les trous de contact sont nettoyés par immersion (1), par rinçage (2) et par un traitement oxydant avec une solution de permanganate (3). Le procédé connu comprend en outre, après un rinçage supplémentaire, un procédé dit de décontamination suivi à nouveau d'un rinçage; selon l'invention toutefois, ces dernières étapes sont superflues. Le deuxième procédé connu permet de déposer sans courant une couche électroconductrice sur la surface extérieure des trous de contact, par des étapes de conditionnement ou d'immersion, de rinçage, de traitement oxydant avec une solution de permanganate (9), par un deuxième rinçage (10) et par la précipitation de monomères contenus dans une solution (11), qui sont ensuite polymérisés (12) de façon à former une couche électroconductrice. Après un rinçage ou un décapage (13) ultérieurs, les plaquettes de circuits imprimés ou les plaquettes multicouches sont soumises à d'autres procédés de fabrication qui n'entrent pas dans le cadre de l'invention. Le procédé décrit permet d'éliminer le conditionnement ou l'immersion initial(e), ainsi que le rinçage qui s'ensuit, du deuxième procédé décrit ci-dessus, grâce à la combinaison avec le premier procédé. On élimine ainsi, en tout, au moins deux étapes de fabrication, pendant lesquelles les plaquettes de circuits imprimés ou les plaquettes multicouches sont exposées à un liquide de traitement, ainsi que les opérations de rinçage correspondantes.

Title: Method and device for determining, for a particular fertiliser type, the fertiliser-spreader settings necessary for the required width and density of coverage.
Inventor: SCHEUFLER BERND
IPC: G01M99/00
Filed: 1992-01-17
Abstract: Currently used to determine the fertiliser-spreader settings necessary to give the required width and density of coverage with a particular fertiliser type are spreader tables or a mobile test bench. In order to provide a simple way of adjusting a fertiliser spreader to the optimum settings, even with fertilisers whose manufacturer is not known or whose properties have been altered by transport or storage, and without the need to spread many tons of fertiliser on test benches, at least one value specific to fertiliser is determined from a small sample and this value is allocated to settings determined for this fertiliser type in parallel large-scale testing. With a known type of fertiliser, the same fertiliser-specific value is determined in the same way and a definite setting determined by comparison. The settings determined in the large-scale testing are stored on a data-storage medium and the fertiliser-specific value is determined by a suitable measurement instrument from the small sample.

Abstract: In a disk recorduction apparatus such as a video disk player or a compact disk player, a sheet-like transparent member (11) is inserted into a convergent optical path of optical beams, and this transparent member is tilted so as to offset the comatic aberration due to the inclination of the optical disk. In this way, even when a recording density is improved, data can be recorded and reproduced reliably by correcting the inclination of the optical disk. Transparent parallel plates and an optical spot correction means including at least coils (19, 20) and a magnet are disposed in the optical path of the optical beams travelling toward the optical disk so as to correct the inclination of the parallel plates. Accordingly, the comatic aberration due to skew of the optical disk can be corrected reliably by a simple construction.
