Abstract: The laser has a focusing system including a housing (2) with opposing transparent windows (4, 5) between which imaging optics (3) are positioned. The housing (2) also has an inlet (7) for the introduction of pressurised gas into the cavity of the housing. The imaging optics (3) include refractive/reflective lens elements (8, 9) and a phase-only filter (10). The filter (10) has different regions each assigned a particular phase-shift and may be implemented in the pixels of a spatial light modulator or using a fused silica structure that has regions etched to differing depths to achieve differing phase delays by means of the remaining thickness of the silica at each of the regions. The filter (10) ensures that the laser beam incident on a workpiece that is to be cut, for example, has an intensity distribution which extends beyond the focussed spot in at least one dimension. With this laser high precision as well as high speed cutting or welding can be performed using an optimised light distribution.

Abstract: A computer-controlled identifier tag production system. The system employs perforated plastic sheets comprising a plurality of transparent identifier tags. The sheets are designed to be fed through a conventional ink jet or laser printer to print one or more of the tags in accordance with user input. Each sheet is a single layer in thickness and is sufficiently flexible and heat-stable such that it will not deform if passed through a printer multiple times. The printed tags are used in conjunction with a plastic holder and backer plate to form an adhesive-free identifier tag assembly. The backer plate is preferably a rigid metal plate which may be embossed with indicia, such as a corporate logo. The identifier tag assembly may further include a magnet or pin fastener for temporarily affixing the backer plate to an article of clothing.

Abstract: A vacuum purge system is provided to protect the vacuum pump (10) from becoming flooded with liquid that on occasion is purged with vapors from process equipment. The liquid is trapped in a vessel and then evaporated and exhausted through the vacuum pump (10) as vapor. Evaporation of trapped liquid is effected by reducing or stopping the purge stream to the trapping vessel while continuing to operate the vacuum pump, thereby reducing the absolute pressure within the vessel. Evaporation of liquid can also be effected by supplying heat to the trapped vessel, either in cooperation with or instead of the pressure reduction. Use of a programmable logic controller enables a cyclic operation that traps liquid from entering the pump, removes the trapped liquid as vapor, and then resumes normal purge operation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for distributing liquid media, in particular extinguishing fluids. The aim of the invention is to provide a method and a device of the aforementioned type which can be used to produce a fine mist of small droplets and a jet spray of large droplets at separate moments, at approximately the same operating pressure of the extinguishing fluid, depending on the outbreak and the development of the fire, whilst at the same time minimising water consumption, reducing water damage caused during a fire and increasing cost-effectiveness, by creating a modular system which can he universally installed. To achieve this, the intensity of the vortex and the proportion of fine or large droplets in the spray cone is adjusted by regulating the quantity and speed of the flow during the distribution of the extinguishing fluid in at least two sub-streams and by combining said sub-streams with at least one additional sub-stream. In addition, the adjusting process is controlled by a signal generator which responds to the outbreak and dynamic development of the fire.
