Abstract: V"  A multiplex optical sensing system comprises an optical fibre 5 arranged to be subjected at the longesth length to fibre deforming forces during operation of the system and means 1, 2, 3 for producing a plurality of pulse trains of coherent light in which the frequency of frequencies of F1 + AF1, F2 + AF2, F3 + AF3 of the pulses in respective pulse trains lie within a different frequency channel for transmission along said optical fibre 5. The optical fibre 5 is provided along its length with a number of equally spaced discontinuities 6 to 14 which effectively divide the fibre 5 into a plurality of discrete fibre elements so that a small proportion of each light being pulse being transmitted along the fibre 5 will be reflected back along the fibre from each of the discontinuities 7 to 14 whereby, within any one of the pulse trains, each reflected light pulse after the first is superimposed upon either the previously reflected pulse from the preceding discontinuity or a reference light signal of the same frequency or a frequency with a constant difference frequency to the said transmitted light signal to produce an electrical signal in square law photo-detection means 15, the difference between respective electrical signals corresponding to successive fibre elements being dependent upon the length of the fibre elements so that changes in optical path length of these elements produced by the incidence of deforming forces will result in changes in the electrical signals which will be detected.

Abstract: An improved full color electrophotographic print engine using flexible belts to carry a photosensitive electrostatic image developer (38) and a transfer belt (39) for building up composite developed images. Each belt, and an optical scanner (28), are driven by mechanically independent motors (29, 36, 37) which are synchronized by an electronic digital controller implementing precise servos. The use of the flexible belts allows the machine to be relatively inexpensive, very small compared to previous full color print engines, and yet maintain precise registration of color composite images. An improved fuser mechanism (62) with increased dwell time at constant machine speed is also shown. The fuser includes a pair of spaced-apart rollers, both of which urge a sheet of image receptor against the heated roller over a predetermined angular portion of the roller. The machine is specifically designed to be used interchangeably with an optical bench source (28) as a copier or with a laser bench as a laser printer. Improved copy quality monitoring by sensing actual amounts of toner deposited on a photoreceptor belt is also shown. Also, improved downwardly facing gravity-fed toner deposition modules are shown including an embodiment which has a purely magnetic gate for opening and closing the toner supply.

Abstract: In a mechanical refrigeration apparatus of the vapour compression kind, comprising a compressor 2, condenser 4, expansion valve 6, and evaporator 8, a sub-cooler 12 is employed to reduce the temperature of the condensed refrigerant to a value at which at least 90% by volume and preferably all of it remains in the liquid phase on passagethrough the expansion valve 6. The sub-cooler 12 is cooled by means of a supply of liquid nitrogen from vessel 14. Alternatively, liquid nitrogen is evaporated in a circulating heat exchange atmosphere in the sub-cooler 12. Increased heat load in chamber 10 may thus be met without there necessarily being any increase in the evaporating temperature and pressure.

Abstract: A more effective and efficient method for separating the components of crude oil, particularly off-gases and LSR naphtha and heavy naphtha, is disclosed. The crude oil is heated and fed to a preflash distillation tower that operates at relatively high pressure and uses a multiple condenser/accumulator overhead system for collecting and separating off-gases and LSR naphtha while avoiding the problems of water condensation in the top section of the distillation tower and the need to compress overhead vapors to fuel gas system pressure. After heating, the bottoms from the preflash tower are fed to an atmospheric crude tower to recover desirable components such as diesel, kerosene, atmospheric gas oils and reduced crude. The overheads of such crude tower are processed through a set of overhead condensers/ accumulators for collecting the small amounts of naphtha and sending them to a naphtha stripper column for further recovery and purification.

A multipurpose battery charger is provided which is capable of charging a plurality of the code readers simultaneously while receiving outputs from their memories (28) and inputting commands or programming. Although the output from each code reader is performed optically through coded pulsing of the light source (28), the input occurs through the battery charger terminals (64, 66), the charging current being delivered in coded pulses. Outputs from a plurality of code readers placed in a single charger unit occur sequentially in accordance with coded commands given by the charger.

Abstract: On an insulated steel pipe bend, the rigid polyethylene outer sheath is pushed into a flange at the bottom (7) and at the same time into a bend support (5). The steel pipe bend (1), without spacers in the polyethylene bend (2), is pushed into the flange (7) and a centring bush. The flange (3) at the top is pressed onto the polyethylene bend (2) and thus no centrifugal force can be produced by the bend support (5). The centring bush (4) and (8), at the bottom, has the object of keeping the steel pipe bend (1) precisely in the centre. After this, the intermediate space is filled through the filling opening (10) under high pressure with the insulating material (rigid polyurethane foam). <IMAGE>
