Abstract: A distributed sensor system including an optical source (100) having a short coherence length for optionally continuously monitoring each sensor in the system. In one preferred embodiment, an array of fiber-optic sensors (110) are organized in a ladder configuration, with the sensors positioned in spaced relation and defining the rungs of the ladder. Light transmitted through the sensors is multiplexed onto a return arm (114) of the ladder, with sensor spacing being such that interference between light from different sensors is prevented. The multiplexed signals are received by an optical fiber receiver (118, 120) which couples the mutiplexed light with an interfering optical reference signal to produce a phase difference signal representing conditions influencing selected sensors. Embodiments are disclosed for use of either pulsed or continuous wave light sources. In another preferred embodiment, the sensors comprise a plurality of interferometers (404,406) connected in series configuration by a common optical fiber (402), which provides multiplexed output signals from the sensors to another plurality of interferometers (418, 420) comprising receivers. Functional equivalents of the series configuration provide sensors and receivers comprising birefringent or two-mode fiber. The optical path length differences between each pair of sensor arms (409, 410, 411 and 412) are selected to prevent interference between the multiplexed sensor output signals from the various sensors. The optical path lengths through the sensors (404, 406) and receivers (418, 420) are structured so that each receiver (418, 420) produces a phase difference signal relating to conditions affecting light transmission through a specific sensor (404, 406). A phase and amplitude modulation technique is disclosed for providing heterodyned output signals from the dristributed sensor system.

Abstract: A method for identifying and enumerating cells of a subclass of blood cells in relation to cells of another subclass of blood cells is provided. In the method a first subclass of blood cells is selectively tagged by incubating an aliquot of a blood sample with a first tagging agent. A second subclass of blood cells is selectively tagged by incubating the aliquot with a second tagging agent. The aliquot is then passed, without lysing of any subclasses of blood cells which are not of interest, substantially a cell at a time through an area of optical stimulation for the tagging agents. Light emitted by the tagging agents is detected, the detection being limited by gating to a threshold value related to a predetermined intensity of light by one of the tagging agents. Cells of the subclass are differentiated based on occurrence of emitted light from the tagging agents.

Abstract: The connector comprises a housing (110) having an infeed opening (112) for an electrically-insulated wire. The housing (110) accommodates a fixed contact (114), a pivotally mounted pressure lever (116) acted upon by a compression spring (134) and a pivotally mounted operating member (118) having a cam surface (132) engageable with the pressure lever. The fixed contact (114) and the pressure lever (116) both have co-operating, longitudinally-offset, insulation-penetrating parts (120 and 126). Pivotable movement of the operating member (118) from a first to a second position moves the pressure lever (116) against the action of the spring (134) into a position (as shown in the Figure) in which the penetrating parts (120 and 126) cut into the insulation of a wire extending through the infeed opening (112) and grip the wire in a manner which electrically connects the conductor of the wire to the fixed contact (114). Preferably the pressure lever (116) is mounted so that it can automatically compensate for different wire conductor diameters.

Abstract: Method and installation for the treatment of liquids, especially oxygen enrichment of water is used for aqua culture purposes such as the breeding of fish. Thus, it is an object to provide a method where gas bubbles in the water reservoir are avoided and where one freely can treat fresh water and/or recirculated water for optimal temperature control and/or water renewal. The water flow is mixed with a flow of pure oxygen gas which is supplied from an oxygen tank 4 with liquid oxygen. The oxygen is led through an evaporator 16 into a flow system which forms a recirculating circuit, with pipeline, and oxygen enrichment means or reactor unit 2 where water and oxygen are mixed to form a turbulent, foaming gas/liquid flow. The mixture is subsequently led into a gas/liquid separator 3 where gas and liqid are separated. The gas mixture from the separator which now in addition to oxygen also will contain other contaminants like nitrogen and carbon dioxide, is recirculated by means of a compressor 6. To prevent the building up of great amounts of nitrogen and other contaminants, there is provided a de-aeration means in the form of a bleed 10 or in the form of a special separation unit.

Abstract: For decoding by the use of a decoder buffer memory (14) an encoded video signal into which an encoder input signal is encoded with data compression on a basis of frames, a decoding device comprises a control signal producing unit (16) for delivering a decoder control signal to a decoder (15) when the frame of data written into the buffer memory coincides with the frame of data read out of the buffer memory. Responsive to the control signal, the decoder produces a supply control signal to the buffer memory to stop delivery of the read-out data to the decoder. Preferably, the decoding device should comprise a processing unit (11) for producing frame pulses at heads of the respective frames of the encoded video signal. A counter (12) counts the frame head pulses to make the write-in data and the read-out data indicate frame numbers for use in the signal producing unit. Alternatively, the decoding device may receive an encoded video signal in which frame number data are included for use in the signal producing unit.
