Abstract: The invention provides a wavelength division multiplexer and a wavelength division demultiplexer by combining a wavelength-selective mode converter (3) with a wavelength-independent mode splitter (5). The demultiplexer comprises a monomodal input channel (1), an adapter (2) to the bimodal input of a 100%TX<4><4>TTY<4><5>(g<5>) mode converter (3), a bimodal junction channel (4), and a mode splitter (5) having a first output channel (6) and a second output channel (7), both monomodal, the first output channel (6) having a higher propagation constant than the second. A g<5> component, which propagates with a polarisation TX (TE or TM) in an input signal Si1(g<5>,g<6>,g<7>,--), will, after conversion in the converter (3), propagate in the intermediate channel (4), in the first-order guided mode having the polarisation TY (TE or TM), and subsequently leave the splitter via output channel (7). The remainder of the input signal is not affected by the converter, therefore remains in the zero-order mode in the intermediate channel (4), and will leave the splitter (5) via output channel (6). The multiplexer operates in the opposite direction. Advantages: Completely producible in integrated form, no fabrication steps of a different type required other than for the fabrication of the connecting optical waveguides. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to a low floor railway wagon for transporting vehicles, having a main frame resting on bogies at the end, on which main frame a loading platform, onto which vehicles can be driven, is mounted, which platform can be swivelled about one of two centres of rotation at the end in order to move from a transport position into a loading position, or vice versa. In order to obtain a particularly simple and robust solution with respect to the swivelling and locking of the platforms in the transport position, according to the invention it is proposed that the two bogie pins (7, 7') of the bogies (3, 3') located at the ends be provided as centres of rotation for the loading platform (8) and that two hydraulic swivel cylinders (9, 9') be used for swivel movements on the right-hand side and left-hand side about the bogie pins (7, 7') the said swivel cylinders (9, 9') being coupled, combined on one side, to a central point (M) of the main frame (6) whilst the free piston rods are each connected at a centre of rotation (16 and 17, respectively) to one of the edges of the loading platform (8). <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed and claimed are Bacillus thuringiensis isolates designated B.t. PS86A1 and B.t. PS86Q3, which are active against corn rootworm larvae and the alfalfa weevil. Thus, these isolates, or mutants thereof, can be used to control such pests. Further, genes encoding novel  delta -endotoxins can be removed from these isolates and transferred to other host microbes, or plants. Expression of the delta -endotoxins in such hosts results in the control of susceptible coleopteran insects.

Abstract: The novel pressurized sealable transportable container (100) basically includes a box-shaped cassette reservoir (123) provided with a slot-shaped access opening (104) normally tightly closed by releasable door means typically a pivoting cover (124) for hermetic sealing. The cassette reservoir interior space is filled with an adequate quantity of a pressurized ultra-pure neutral gas. This gas is supplied by a compressed gas supply installation through gas injection valve means (129), including a high efficiency filter and a non-return valve. The pressure which prevails in the cassette reservoir interior space has a positive differential pressure (about 5000 Pa) with respect to the outside ambient to prevent any contamination thereof. The cassette reservoir is preferably made of a transparent and non-contaminating material such as a plastic. It is provided with a bar code tag (148) so that identification data attached to the wafer can be directly and automatically read by an appropriate reader. The cassette reservoir includes a drilled inner wall provided with holes that demarcates two regions within said container interior space: a first region in relationship with said gas injection valve means to form the reservoir properly said and a second region or receptacle adapted to receive a wafer holder (130). The cassette reservoir includes means for firmly and accurately maintaining the holder therein. The holder has a slot-shaped transfer opening (132) enclosing a single wafer (138) and is adapted to be inserted in and removed from and from the said receptacle through the said access opening at the beginning and at the end of the wafer processing step sequence. The holder is provided on its rear face with via-holes that are designed so that the gas flowing from the reservoir into the holder interior space, first through said holes, next through said via-holes, does not so easily penetrate in the holder interior space. The holder is preferably made of a transparent and non-contaminating material such as a plastic or pure SiO2 (quartz). The holder includes means for softly but firmly maintaining the wafer therein. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A cycle is convertible between a standard cycle configuration for normal cycling and an exercise configuration in which the cycle is propelled forwards by alternate saddle strokes, and pedal strokes, the saddle stroke comprising putting the cyclist's weight on the saddle (5) which moves downwardly driving the crank shaft (6) and bringing the two in-phase pedals (4a, 4b) upwardly, the pedal stroke comprising pressing down on both pedals (4a, 4b) to bring the saddle up again. In the exercise configuration the cycle is prevented from stalling by an arrangement whereby when the pedals (4a, 4b) are at bottom dead centre the weight on the saddle (5) is applied to the crank (6c) at an angle to the vertical to maintain forward propulsion, and whereby when the saddle is at bottom dead centre the pedals (4a, 4b) are just forward of top dead centre so as to maintain forward propulsion. In the exercise configuration the pedals may be constrained to rotate in one direction only by means of a ratchet mechanism (12, 13, 14, 16) thereby preventing the pedals hitting the cyclist on the shins. <IMAGE>
