Abstract: An improved optical rotation detector for detecting optically active molecular compounds in a sample solution using: a laser diode with the beam passing through an optical fiber or lens to improve its quality, a reference oscillator at frequency f, a first polarizer, a specially constructed flow cell to minimize mechanical birefringence and leaking in the cell's optical windows, a second polarizer, and an improved detection scheme. The detection scheme includes a first and second photodetector for sensing first and second signals, where the first signal is light passed through the second polarizer and the second signal is light reflected off the second polarizer. A compensator circuit low pass filters the signals, inverts one signal and sums it with the other, and then notch filters off the undesired components to produce a compensated signal. The compensated signal then drives a lock-in amplifier which is driven by the reference oscillator to sense the amplitude modulated f frequency signal. This compensated signal indicates the optical activity of the sample, yet is immune to laser power fluctuations.

Date May 7, 1998An apparatus and a method for coating zinc on steel sheets for use on automobiles and electronic apparatuses are disclosed. A fluidized bed forming chamber is provided to fluidize zinc powders in carrying out a zinc coating on a heated steel sheet, so that not only a uniformly coated layer but also a thick coated layer can be obtained. The apparatus for continuously coating zinc on a steel sheet according to the present invention includes a zinc coating chamber for forming a fluidized bed of zinc powders, for passing a heated steel sheet through the fluidized bed of the zinc powders, and for making the zinc powders melt-adhere on the steel sheet during its passing through the fluidized bed. A fluidized bed forming chamber forms a fluidized bed of the zinc powders by making the zinc powders suspended by spouting a gas. A cyclone separates the zinc powders from the gas after recovery of them from the zinc coating chamber, to discharge the gas, and to return the separated zinc powders to the fluidized bed forming chamber. A deflector shifts the advancing direction of the steel sheet after its admittance into the zinc coating chamber. A tension roll shifts the advancing direction of a zinc coated steel sheet. Further, the zinc coating chamber includes one or more electrodes for electrostatically charging the zinc powders.

Abstract: Les extenseurs introduits dans des lumières à l'intérieur du corps sont généralement fabriqués avec des matériaux pas suffisamment opaques aux rayons X, tels que l'acier inoxydable 316L. La visualisation aux rayons X d'un extenseur permet cependant de le positionner avec précision à l'intérieur du corps du patient et de surveiller son fonctionnement. Les marqueurs opaques aux rayons X ci-décrits sont des rivets faits en un matériau plus opaque aux rayons X que celui de l'extenseur, ce qui permet de localiser l'extenseur. Il est préférable d'utiliser des extenseurs traités thermiquement car cela permet aux atomes du matériau de l'extenseur de migrer à l'intérieur du matériau dont est fait le marqueur, et vice versa.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method of producing a packaging laminate for aseptic packages of the type which is produced in that a web of the packaging laminate is, for the purpose of sterilization, led through a bath of hydrogen peroxide prior to the reforming of the web into aseptic packages. The packaging material is produced in that a web of paper which has, on the one side of the web, an applied outer coating of plastic, is, for the purpose of promoting adhesion, subjected to a surface treatment changing polarity, whereafter the thus treated outer plastic coating is provided with décor of water-based printing ink which is applied in the desired pattern on the outside of the outer plastic coating. By selecting so-called flame treating as the surface treatment for changing polarity for the outer plastic coating, the above-mentioned sterilization can be carried out with considerably reduced hydrogen peroxide consumption, at the same time as good adhesion between the water-based printing ink décor and the outer plastic coating is ensured.

Abstract: A coupling circuit for coupling a first signal generated in a first circuit operating in a first clock domain to a second circuit operating in a second clock domain. The coupling circuit includes a first gate for coupling the first signal to a first logic circuit unless the coupling circuit has already applied a signal to the second circuit. The first logic circuit includes a pair of second gates that are enabled by respective rising and falling edges of the first clock signal. Thus, each of the second gates generates an output signal on respective transitions of the first clock signal as long as the first gate is coupling the first signal to the first logic circuit. The first logic circuit also includes a pair of latches coupled to respective outputs of the second gates. Each of the latches is set by its respective second gate generating the output signal. The second logic gates are coupled to a second logic circuit having a pair of third gates that are enabled by respective rising and falling edges of the second clock signal. Thus, each of the second gates generates an output signal on respective transitions of the second clock signal if the latch to which it is connected is generating an output signal. The output signal is also used as the reset signal to disable the first gate and reset the latches. Since the output signal is generated on the first transition of the first clock signal after the first signal is applied to the coupling circuit, the coupling circuit generates a single output signal that is synchronized to the second clock signal.
