Title: Procede et appareil de lavage de melange de pulpe fibreuse
Inventor: JUUTINEN VESA
IPC: D21C9/18
Filed: 2000-07-21
Granted: 2010-09-21
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de lavage d'un mélange de pulpe fibreuse, selon lequel ledit mélange est amené entre de deux fils de filtrage (1, 2) qui tournent dans le même sens. Un espace de drainage convergent (3), où l'eau est enlevée de la pulpe, se trouve dans le sens de fonctionnement des fils. Selon l'idée de cette invention, l'épaisseur de la couche de la pulpe acheminée entre les fils est adaptée pendant le fonctionnement, étant donné que le contenu en cendre et particules inclassables de la pulpe fibreuse lavée dépend essentiellement du poids de base de la bande fibreuse à laver. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, la hauteur de la tranche (23) à l'extrémité de sortie de l'espace de drainage est adaptée. L'idée principale d'un autre mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention repose sur le fait que la vitesse des fils est adaptée. Cette invention concerne aussi un ensemble comprenant un dispositif qui permet d'adapter l'épaisseur de la couche de pulpe à acheminer entre les fils, par exemple, le poids de base de la bande fibreuse à laver.

Abstract: A method of forming an electrode for a plasma arc torch is disclosed, and wherein the electrode comprises a copper holder defining an opening therein.  An emissive element is secured to a cavity formed in a relatively non-emissive separator having a solid rear wall at one end thereof. The emissive element and separator are positioned within the opening defined by the copper holder such that the emissive element is surrounded by the separator and the copper holder. In this regard, the emissive element is prevented from movement along the longitudinal axis of the torch relative to the separator during a post-assembly heating step. In addition, the emissive element is not exposed to the atmosphere during the heating step, which allows a greater bond between the emissive element and the separator.

Abstract: A check valve having a faceplate and an insert assembly. The faceplate and insert assembly have a stepwise cross-section in the direction of a forward fluid flow through the check valve. The stepwise cross-section is designed for placement of the faceplate and insert into a complementary shaped valve body. The faceplate defines at least two sections through which the fluid flowing through the check valve flows. The moving parts of the check valve, doors and hinges, are mounted on the insert such that the parts are not impacted by the fluid flow, thereby reducing maintenance on the check valve. Maintenance on the check valve can be accomplished by simply removing the faceplate, thereby releasing the insert assembly from the valve body so that the insert assembly can be replaced with minimum downtime to a cooling system having this check valve installed.

Title: Optical amplification in coherent optical frequency modulated continuous wave reflectometry
Inventor: ANDERSEN PETER E
IPC: G01B9/02
Filed: 2001-10-31
Granted: 2010-02-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for optical coherence reflectometry, in particular for optical coherence tomography, wherein the apparatus for optical coherence reflectometry comprises a wavelength scanning laser source for providing a light signal, and splitting means for dividing said light signal into a sample light field and a reference light field, wherein the sample light field is directed to the sample being measured, and the light reflected from the sample is amplified without correspondingly amplifying the light reflected in the reference light field. Thereby, it is possible to direct substantially all light energy from the first reflected light field to the detectors, and to obtain fully the utilisation of the amplification of the first reflected light field. The optical amplifier inserted in the sample reflected light field is different from the source so that the effect of the light source may be regulated independent of the degree of amplification. In particular when using the apparatus in coherent optical FMCW reflectometry certain safety regulations for the power density towards the sample has to be observed to reduce the risk of damages to the sample under examination, such as biological tissue. The apparatus may be used for a variety of purposes, in particular for obtaining optical biopsies of transparent as well as non-transparent tissues.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for improving the signal to noise ratio, the contrast and the resolution in images recorded using an optical imaging system which produces a spatially resolved image. The method is based on the incorporation of a polarimeter into the setup and polarization calculations to produce better images. After calculating the spatially resolved Mueller matrix of a sample, images for incident light with different states of polarization were reconstructed. In a shorter method, only a polarization generator is used and the first row of the Mueller matrix is calculated. In each method, both the best and the worst images were computed. In both reflection and transmission microscope and Macroscope and ophthalmoscope modes, the best images are better than any of the original images recorded. In contrast, the worst images are poorer. This technique is useful in different fields such as confocal microscopy, Macroscopy and retinal imaging.
