Abstract: The terminal includes a frequency changer which is switched for insertion into the operating circuit to vary the fixed frequency of the output. Switching is performed so the terminal can receive signals from communication systems using different frequency bands. The frequency changer divides the received signal by a predetermined factor e.g. 2. A dephaser is coupled after the frequency changer and provides quadrature signals for signal modulation and demodulation in either of the two systems.

Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for monitoring particulates in stacks or ducts(2) utilizes transmissometer/particulate monitor of the type which has an optical assembly containing a solid state light source (30) of visible light such as a light-emitting diode or a solid-state laser. The light source (30) emits a collimated beam that is split, part of which is focused onto a reference detector (33) that monitors the intensity of the light source, while the other part is directed to a beam-steering apparatus that causes the beam to accurately pass through a gaseous sample to a desired location such as a retro-reflector (20). A position-sensing detector (32) is used in a closed-loop manner to control the beam-steering apparatus. The ratio of the total energy of the detected light beam, relative to the reference detector output, is used to determine the opacity of the gaseous sample for the purpose of providing a basis for correlation to particulate loading of that portion of the particulates that are of a size comparable to the wavelength of light. The correlation to particulate loading is enhanced by a feature of the invention which measures the angular distribution of forward-scattered light to provide information as to the particle size distribution of the particulates. In addition, by steering the beam such that the intensity of scattered light at a preferred scattering angle of 2 to 3 degrees is measured, a measurement may be made that provides a signal that is proportional to the total concentration of particulates independent of the size distribution. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to the fabrication and use of biosensors comprising a plurality of optical fibers each fiber having attached to its "sensor end" biological "binding partners" (molecules that specifically bind other molecules to form a binding complex such as antibody-antigen, lectin-carbohydrate, nucleic acid-nucleic acid, biotin-avidin, etc.). The biosensor preferably bears two or more different species of biological binding partner. The sensor is fabricated by providing a plurality of groups of optical fibers. Each group is treated as a batch to attach a different species of biological binding partner to the sensor ends of the fibers comprising that bundle. Each fiber, or group of fibers within a bundle, may be uniquely identified so that the fibers, or group of fibers, when later combined in an array of different fibers, can be discretely addressed. Fibers or groups of fibers are then selected and discretely separated from different bundles. The discretely separated fibers are then combined at their sensor ends to produce a high density sensor array of fibers capable of assaying simultaneously the binding of components of a test sample to the various binding partners on the different fibers of the sensor array. The transmission ends of the optical fibers are then discretely addressed to detectors-such as a multiplicity of optical sensors. An optical signal, produced by binding of the binding partner to its substrate to form a binding complex, is conducted through the optical fiber or group of fibers to a detector for each discrete test. By examining the addressed transmission ends of fibers, or groups of fibers, the addressed transmission ends can transmit unique patterns assisting in rapid sample identification by the sensor.

Abstract: A spray gun (10) for applying a liquid spray coating, such as paint, to a surface incorporates a light source system for gauging the position of the spray gun relative to a worksurface in order to optimize application of the coating to the surface. The light source (38) is preferably in the form of a laser which emits a pair of light beams (50,52) toward the worksurface. The pair of light beams converge toward each other in a direction toward the surface, and the position of the beams on the surface is used by the operator to judge the distance of the spray gun from the surface. An adjustment mechanism (54) is interconnected with one of the light beam sources, so as to adjust the point of convergence of the light beams. A closable door (60) is associated with the spray gun housing at one of the light beam emitting locations, to selectively prevent emission of one of the light beams from the spray gun, such that a single light beam (50) is emitted from the spray gun for use as a reference for spot application of the coating to the surface. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A flow meter for use in an oil well has a central bore region in which an annular tube is fixed co-axially with the central bore region by a ring, which also seals the gap between the inner bore of the central bore region and the tube at its downstream end, thus forming a pocket open to the direction of fluid flow through the central bore region. The pocket brings the fluid to rest, thereby converting all of the dynamic pressure of the fluid into static pressure. This has the effect of maximizing the pressure differential obtainable between the central bore region and a position upstream of the tube, which allows an electronic calculation to be made to provide a more accurate flow rate measurement than would have been possible without the pocket.

Abstract: The total number of ions created br obtained during an ionization or ion introduction event in a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer are determined either by using an on-resonance experimental technique or an off-resonance experimental technique. Both techniques exploit ion magnetron motion. In the on-resonance technique the spectrometer is excited in the magnetron mode and the single resonance signal resulting from this excitation is detected to determine the total number of ions. In the off-resonance technique the magnetron mode is excited at a frequency that is near the magnetron frequency while simultaneously detecting the resulting ion motion. The off-resonance technique leaves the ion population in a state that is amenable to subsequent analysis.

Abstract: A process for producing metals from a metalliferous feed material in an electric furnace is disclosed. The process includes the steps of forming a molten bath having a metal layer and a slag layer on the metal layer in the furnace and supplying electrical energy to the furnace and converting the electrical energy to thermal energy and thereby contributing to the heat input requirements of the process. The process also includes injecting a carrier gas and a solid carbonaceous material into the molten bath via one or more than one solids injection lance/tuyere and causing molten material to be projected from the molten bath as splashes, droplets, and streams into a space above a nominal quiescent surface of the molten bath and forming a transition zone. The process also includes injecting an oxygen-containing gas into the furnace via one or more than one oxygen-containing gas injection lance/tuyere and post-combusting reaction gases released from the molten bath and thereby further contributing to the heat requirements of the process. In this process the ascending and thereafter descending splashes, droplets, and streams of molten material in the transition zone facilitate heat transfer to the molten bath and the transition zone minimises heat loss from the furnace via the side walls in contact with the transition zone.

Abstract: Alkene oxides are produced in a continuous integrated two-step process performed in liquid phase. Step I comprises the oxidation of a secondary alcohol with molecular oxygen to generate hydrogen peroxide at moderate temperature and pressure. This reaction mixture is introduced directly to an olefmic substrate maintained in organic solvent at elevated pressure. During step II of the procedure the olefins undergo epoxidation by the hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a catalyst of titanium-impregnated, amorphous silica. The integrated process requires no intermediate purification or enrichment step and it is particularly well adapted to the production of propylene oxide.  <IMAGE>
