Abstract: Polycarbonate materials are dyed by immersion into a mixture of dye or pigment dissolved in a solvent blend. The blend is made up of an impregnating solvent, which attacks the polycarbonate and allows impregnation of the dye or pigment, and a moderating solvent which reduces the aggressiveness of the impregnating solvent. A graded tint is provided by slowly withdrawing the immersed polycarbonate material from the mixture. Polycarbonate materials having a graded tint, especially sheets in the form of lenses and goggles, are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides polarization-independent optical devices by reducing or eliminating strain-induced birefringence associated with prior device structures. In a first embodiment, an optical device is produced comprising a doped silica substrate (20) having a coefficient of thermal expansion between 8 x 10⁻⁷°C⁻¹ and 15 x 10⁻⁷°C⁻¹. On the doped silica substrate is formed a doped silica waveguiding structure (30) having a coefficient of thermal expansion between 8 x 10⁻⁷°C⁻¹ and 15 x 10⁻⁷°C⁻¹. A cladding layer (40) is formed on the doped silica waveguiding structure. Alternatively, the coefficient of thermal expansion of the doped silica substrate is selected to be approximately 90% to 110% of the coefficient of thermal expansion of the doped silica waveguiding structure. In another aspect, the present invention provides an optical device comprising a doped silica substrate having a doping gradient from a lower surface to an upper surface.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are disclosed for detecting a first substance within a second substance, preferably for localizing diamonds in kimberlite rocks. The first substance, e.g. the diamonds, have a very long spin-lattice relaxation time (T 1 ) in the order of hours. For rapidly detecting the first substance, the build-up of magnetization of a predetermined kind of nuclei, e.g.  13 C, being abundant in the first substance only is shortened and the nuclear magnetic resonance of that kind of nuclei is measured thereafter. The shortening is executed within a pre-treatment station (12), whereas the measurement takes place within an analyzing station (13). The shortening and the measuring, respectively, are carried out within magnetic fields (B 01 , B 02 ) of different field strengths (Fig. 2).

Abstract: A chemical sensor (10) includes a thin film transistor (15) with a gate (16) positioned on one side. An insulating layer (42) is positioned on the opposite side and an indicator film (17) is positioned on the insulating layer (42) in generally opposed relationship to the gate (16). Induced charge in the indicator film (17) caused by a biological or chemical species changes the channel current in the transistor (15). A potential on the gate (16) is then used to null out the resulting change in channel current. The potential used to null out the current change is an extremely sensitive measure of the induced charge.

Abstract: The present invention uses a segmented caching data structure to cache
database objects provided by a database server. The database server provides database objects
in response to requests by a number of different programs. The segmented caching data
structure is made up of a single central cache and a number of program caches, each
corresponding to one of the programs. When a database object is provided by the database
server in response to a request by any of the programs, a copy of the database object is stored
in the central cache. Another copy of the object is stored in the program cache for the
program that requested the database object. When the segmented caching data structure is
maintained in this manner, when a request is made by one of the programs a copy of the
requested object stored in either of the central cache or the program cache for the program
may be used, making it unnecessary for the database server to provide the requested database
object.
