Patent AU-6251190-A (AU)
Title: Apparatus for examining the mouths of bottles and the like
Inventor: APTER ROBERT
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 1990-09-14
Abstract: A camera (18) arranged in the axis of a bottle to be tested is used to take pictures in order to determine defects in the upper end face of the mouth lip (43). A circular, coaxial light-conducting body (30) which is surrounded by a light source (28) is arranged between the lip (43) and the camera (18). It has a central viewing opening (40) with the shape of a double conical frustum (40a, 40b). The cylindrical surface of the conical frustum (40a) facing the lip forms a light exit surface (46a) for illuminating the lip (43). The angle of slope of the conical frustum (40a) is selected such that an annular optical conical frustum (52) falls onto the upper end face of the lip (43) and has in the middle thereof an angle of incidence of approximately 45 DEG . This yields a dark field illumination of the lip (43). Should a defect be present in the region of the upper end face of the lip (43), it becomes visible brightly on the dark background. Lateral defects of the lip (43) can also be determined with the aid of an additional light-conducting body (34).

Title: Optical amplifier having dynamically shaped gain
Inventor: JABR SALIM N
IPC: H01S3/131
Filed: 1998-08-18
Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for adjusting the gain profile of an optical amplifier including a pump laser and an active gain element by selectively controlling the electron populations of at least one Stark sublevel of the electronic energy levels of the optical amplifier's active gain element. By dynamically controlling the electron populations of selected Stark sublevels the gain profile of the active gain element can be flattened. In a first method for controlling electron populations two-photon transitions are initiated between a pair of Stark sublevels of the same energy manifold of the active gain element. Two-photon transitions are stimulated by two additional pump lasers operating at wavelengths whose difference approximates the energy difference in the pair of Stark sublevels between which electrons are to be moved. In a second method for controlling electron populations single-photon transitions are initiated between a pair of Stark sublevels of different energy manifolds of the active gain element. Single-photon transitions are stimulated by an additional pump laser operating at a frequency difference that approximates the difference in the pair of energy levels. Alternatively, single photon transitions are stimulated by operating the amplifier's pump laser at a wavelength selected so as to simultaneously cause electron transitions from the ground level of the active gain element to one of the higher energy levels and electron transitions from a selected Stark sublevel of the upper laser level to a yet higher energy level.

Title: Method and plate apparatus for dew point evaporative cooler
Inventor: MAISOTSENKO VALERIY
IPC: F24F1/0087
Filed: 2001-09-27
Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for indirect evaporative cooling of a fluid stream to substantially its dew point temperature. Plate heat exchanger has perforations 11 and channels 3, 4 and 5 for gas or a low temperature for liquids on a dry side and wet side. Fluid streams 1 flow across the dry side 9, transferring heat to the plate. Gas stream 2 flows across the dry side and through perforations to channels 5 on wet side 10, which it then cools by evaporative cooling as well as conductive and radiative transfer of heat from plate. A wicking material provides wetting of wet side. In other embodiments, a desiccant wheel may be used to dehumidify the gas, air streams may be recirculated, feeder wicks 13 and a pump may be used to bring water from a water reservoir, and fans may be used to either force or induce a draft. The wicking material may be cellulose, organic fibers, organic based fibers, polyester, polypropylene, carbon-based fibers, silicon based fibers, fiberglass, or combinations of them. The device may be operated in winter months to scavenge heat from exhaust gases of a space and thus pre-heat fresh air, while simultaneously humidifying the fresh air.

Title: Ratchet wrench
Inventor: ROBERTS PETER M
IPC: B25B13/46
Filed: 1998-10-05
Abstract: A ratchet wrench including a handle, a drive stud, and a ratchet mechanism further includes a tool release mechanism. The tool release mechanism includes a tool release actuator which forms a recess. A reversing lever is coupled to the ratchet mechanism and is movable to forward, non-ratcheting and reverse positions to select a forward ratchet direction, a non-ratcheting action, and a reverse ratchet direction, respectively, for the ratchet mechanism. The direction control element carries a protruding element that is shaped to fit into a recess in the tool release actuator when the direction control element is in the forward position, to remain outside the recess when the direction control element is in the non-ratcheting position, and to fit into the recess when the direction control element is in the reverse position. The protruding element impedes inadvertent operation of the tool release mechanism when the direction control mechanism is in either the forward or the reverse positions. The direction control element can be mounted internally or externally of the wrench, and the ratchet wheel of the ratchet mechanism can be centered by a protruding element formed on an inner surface of the handle and sized to slide within an annular recess of the ratchet wheel.
