Title: Optical packet switching network
Inventor: VAN DER TOL JOHANNES JACOBUS G
IPC: H04Q11/00
Filed: 1997-02-27
Abstract: In an optical packet-switched network provided with one or more nodes (1), a transmitter (6, 17) transmits polarised packet signals (P) over optical connections (4, 5). A polarised packet signal comprises an address signal (A 1 ) and a data signal (I 0 ), which are generated by the transmitter with different, preferably mutually orthogonal, polarisation states (;, •). In a node (1), the address signal (A 1 ) from a packet signal (or from a power portion (P1) thereof), is separated from the data signal (I 0 ), in a polarisation beam splitter (9). From the separated address signals, a control unit (11) derives control signals by means of which an optical switch (7) is switched for further routing of the packet signals (or of the remaining power sections (P 2 ) thereof). In a second embodiment, polarised packet signals are switched through after they have been provided with an altered address signal in a polarisation beam combiner.

Abstract: A method of reducing undulation in the Light versus current I curve of a laser which uses a fiber grating is presented. The spectral width of the fiber grating is made larger than the Fabry-Perot spacing of the longitudinal modes of the laser cavity. As a result, as the laser shifts between harmonics due to laser functioning (e.g., laser drive current, laser aging, temperature change, or mechanical stress), the fiber grating is able to respond linearly because of a large spectral width.

Abstract: The vehicle transmission includes a gearbox (1) whose casing (3) has a closure plate (5) through which the output shaft (2) passes with a link to a cardan fork (12). There is also an electrical brake (20), operating by the use of Foucault currents, consisting of an armature rotor (21) and an inductor stator (22), mounted facing the gearbox casing with the aid of a support structure (27). The support structure is fixed to the casing by screws (6) which serve also for the attachment of the closure plate (5). The rotor (21) has a support element (49) which is fixed to the rear surface of the cardan fork (12). The formation and the arrangement of the gearbox (1) and the cardan fork (12) are thus independent of the presence of the electrical brake mechanism (20).

Abstract: A process for producing an animal excretion treating
article by classifying a pulverized paper diaper having a
particle size of 4 mm or less to separate a paper powder and
a highly water-absorptive resin from a plastic material.
The plastic material from which the separation of the paper
powder and the highly water-absorptive resin have been
separated, is pulverized into a particle size of 4 mm or
less and extruded and granulated to form a granulate having
a grain size of 6 mm or more. The granulate is covered with
a paper powder/water-absorptive resin mixture powder
resulting from the pulverization of the separated paper
powder and water-absorptive resin into a particle size of 1
mm or less. All of the starting materials can be obtained
from a paper diaper waste powder, and thus, it is possible
to provide, at an inexpensive cost, a granular animal
excretion treating article capable of being incinerated even
after being used, and a process for producing the same.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour réaliser un capteur à pont GMR, ainsi que le capteur lui-même, dans lequel des résistances magnétorésistives (1 - 4) sont interconnectées sous la forme d'un pont pour détecter un champ magnétique. Ces résistances sont constituées d'un matériau présentant l'effet GMR. La sensibilité magnétorésistive des résistances individuelles est provoquée par trempe. La trempe des résistances s'effectue par l'injection sélective, dans les connexions du pont (5 - 8), d'un courant suffisant pour obtenir la température nécessaire à la trempe. La mise en circuit des connexions du pont confère aux résistances, individuellement ou par paires, la propriété nécessaire à l'effet GMR. Le matériau utilisé pour les résistances appartient à la classe des matériaux multicouches discontinus, notamment le NiFe/Ag, dans lesquels l'effet GMR est provoqué par une seule trempe à une température spécifique.

Abstract: A teat rubber cup comprising a head member substantially rotationally symmetric with a longitudinal axis, with an aperture for insertion of the teat, a retaining edge to engage over a teat cup sleeve, and a suction stub joined to the head member, the end of the head member opposite the teat insertion aperture merging into the retaining edge. The wall of the head member is stiffened in a region located between the teat insertion aperture and the transition to the retaining edge, and the upper end of the suction stub merges into this stiffened part of the head member. The part of the teat rubber cup head located between the stiffened part and the retaining edge is made at least partly elastic. During the suction phase a compressive force acts on the section of the head member located between the stiffened part of the head member and the retaining edge, the force endeavouring to move that section towards the outside of the suction stub. An upward movement of the teat cup sleeve then takes place, while in the relief phase a slight downward movement of the sleeve takes place relative to the teat.
