Abstract: In the optical transmission of digital signals, there is a desire to increase the transmission speed of these signals, i.e. the bit repetition rate, to, for example, 40 Gbit/s and more. In these systems, an upper limit for the bit repetition rate can be identified, above which directly modulated lasers and their electronic control systems, as currently employed, can no longer be used. An optical transmission system is indicated in whose optical transmitter (1) an electric multistage signal (V) comprising two electric digital signals (V1, V2) modulates a semiconductor laser (4), so that an optical multistage signal (V) is transmitted optically. A discriminator circuit (7), which recovers the digital signals (V1, V2), is provided in the optical receiver (2). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Distributed processing units (DPU) are applied to elevator dispatching and back-up architecture. They are localizing the processing functions by sensing and controlling local devices and serially transmitting up-dates to other DPUs via one or more communication media (18). This makes it possible to confine the wiring to local levels eliminating the need for a centralized processor. 
     The distributed processing units (DPU) are designed as floor processing units (FPUa,FPUb,...) one on each floor (E1...), car processing units (CPUa,CPUb,...) in each car (2), group processing units (GPUa,GPUb,...) and signalling processing units (SPUa,SPUb,...) in the machine room (22). They all possess intelligence to communicate and to perform local control algorithms. 
     The distributed control is structured as a neural network, the nodes being implemented by the distributed processing units (DPU). Depending on the function to be processed, there are main nodes (A0,B0,C0...) with additional back-up nodes (Aa,Ba,Ca...) and auxiliary nodes (A1,A2,A3...). 
     The inventive, distributed control is characterized by modularity, configurability and simplicity, providing reduced development cycle, ease of maintenance and increased reliability.

Abstract: A momentary electrical switch (10) includes fixed contacts fixed relative to a switch housing (12) and slidable contacts located within the housing. A contact operating mechanism (21,16,52) incudes a manual control knob (21), a slide element (16) and a support (40) attached to the slide element for supporting the slidable contacts, the contact operating mechanism being movable axially in a first direction against the force of a compression spring (54) when the knob is pulled. The slide element moves within a casing (14) and carries an interlock element extendable beyond the periphery of the slide element to engage the casing to prevent movement of the contact operating mechanism when the knob is pulled. A spring biased interlock release stem (18) may be moved axially in a second direction, opposite to the first direction, by pressing on a pushbutton (19) to disengage the interlock element from the casing. The movable switch contacts may be moved in the first direction relative to the fixed contacts only by concurrently pressing in one direction on the pushbutton while pulling on the knob in the opposite direction. When the knob is released, the compression spring returns the contact operating mechanism and the movable contacts to their neutral position and when the pushbutton is released, the interlock element is again extended beyond the periphery of the slide element.

Abstract: The present invention is an improved process for the recovery of ethylene glycol from spent glycol generated in the manufacture of polyethylene terephthalate. The spent glycol typically consists of metal oxide catalyst residues, low molecular weight terephthalate oligomers, diethylene glycol and other trace impurities. The improved process of the present invention is based on the principle that elevating the temperature of the spent glycol increases the solubility of the low molecular weight oligomers so that the low molecular weight oligomers can be dissolved in the ethylene glycol and further that the spent glycol at an elevated temperature may be passed through an ion exchange bed to remove metal oxide catalysts, color forming impurities and other trace impurities.

Abstract: Automotive filler tubes require resistance to usual hydrocarbon fuel and mechanical properties to withstand collision forces. Tubes are fabricated from laminated rubbery structure reflecting the cooperative use of selected fluoropolymeric materials laminated with a rubbery copolymer like an epichlorohydrin elastomer to provide a flexible tubular article permitting only negligible escape of confined volatile hydrocarbons. An FKM rubbery polymer (14) forms a relatively thin inner layer in the tube, a THV polymer (16) forms a relatively thin intermediate layer and a relatively thick elastomeric polymer (18), e.g. ECO, forms a cover layer. In an alternative embodiment, a tube is formed from an inner layer of a THV fluoroplastic polymer and a cover layer of a relatively thick elastomeric polymer. The tubing is made by coextruding the FKM rubbery polymer and the THV fluoroplastic polymer, coating the THV fluoroplastic polymer layer with a binder, crosshead extruding the elastomeric polymer layer and cutting the tubing to lengths. The lengths are given a partial cure in straight condition to cross-link the THV fluoroplastic layer to the FKM rubber polymer layer and to the elastomeric layer. The partially cured lengths of tubing are shaped and then fully cured.
