Abstract: The basic shape of a large span dome (10) is defined by a primary network (20) of structural struts (15) which are so arranged between their junctions (16) that they fully triangulate the surface (13) of the dome. The struts throughout the network have substantially uniform cross-sectional dimensions which are defined with reference to strut loads encountered at and near the perimeter (37) of the dome. The central portion of the network is strengthenedto withstand snap-through of the dome by a truss system (30) comprised of a secondary network (35) of truss members (33) which lie in a secondary surface (31) which is inside the dome and is spaced from the dome's triangulated surface. The primary (20) and secondary (35) networks are tied together by tie members (36) which extend between connections (34) of the truss members and the strut junctions (16) and which lie in the planes of webs (25) of respective struts. The assembly of the tie members to the strut junctions can be achieved by use of the same fasteners (26) which connect the struts to their junctions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sleeve end for a cable sleeve (1) having a sealing insert made of elastic material and having elements which produce pressure, preferably by means of screws (18), in order to compress the sealing insert (2). The cable sleeve (1) is expanded in the form of a cone in the entry region into which an initially matched, conical sealing insert (2) is inserted. After insertion of the cables (45), pressure is exerted in the axial direction on the sealing insert (2), by means of the elements (18) which produce pressure. The conical design on the circumference of the cable sleeve results in radial compression of the elastic material of the sealing insert (2), which results in the sealing. Cable trapping devices (28, 49, 41, 46), which are aligned with the cable entry openings (3, 13), are provided in the interior of the cable sleeve. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a branched optical fibre network in which an optical signal (I) modulated with a data signal is distributed by a transmitter connected to the network, OTDR based on correlation is applied independently of position by uncoupling both a signal part (I₁) of the distributed signal (I) in the forward direction and a signal part (R₁) of the reflected signal (R) in the return direction at an arbitrarily chosen uncoupling point P in a fibre connection (46) of the network, detecting them and correlating them with one another. A device for performing such a positionally independent correlation OTDR is provided with uncoupling means (60) having a first signal output (68) and a second signal output (66), via which outputs the signal part (I₁) and the signal part (R₁), respectively, are fed to optical receivers (70 and 71). The signal parts received are detected by the receivers, demodulated and corresponding electrical signals are supplied to a correlator (78) which produces an OTDR signal for an OTDR imaging means (82).
