Abstract: A fiber-optic polarizer made by a process comprised of providing a substrate,
coupling or embedding an optical single mode fiber to the substrate, making a narrow
trench across the fiber at an angle, thereby bifurcating the fiber core into a first fiber
core end and a second fiber core end, inserting and securing a thin polarizing material
of a monolithic, non-laminated structure into the narrow trench, such that a light spot
size emitted from a first fiber core is completely encompassed by the polarizing
material, and the light spot size emerging from the polarizing material is substantially
collected within the mode field diameter of a second fiber core. The narrow trench
having a width of about 30-50 µm, and the polarizing material having a thickness of
about 15-50 µm. The polarizing material having a monolithic composition. Moreover,
the inventive polarizer has good reliability in terms of mechanical durability and
weathering, since polarizer is fabricated on substrate in which optical path is entirely
sealed. This is a process that eliminates the need to use specialized fibers or fibers that
are specially treated such as those with thermally expanded cores (TEC). The process
is also an alignment-free process that enables easier and faster mass-fabrication. This
process produces multiple polarizers at a time.

Abstract: An electric automatic pop-up toaster has a carriage 10 and a pivotably connected manually operative arm 16 for moving the carriage 10 to a lowermost position for toasting in well-known manner. At the beginning of each toasting cycle, the arm 16 is horizontal and a latching plate 20 is magnetically held down to hold the arm and the carriage in a lowermost position. The arm 16 presses against a wire spring 22 to hold closed a power switch (not shown) that supplies power to heating elements of the toaster. The latching plate is (magnetically) released at the end of each toasting cycle by a timer. This allows the carriage 10 to move upwards to pop-up toasted bread in a usual way. However should the carriage fail to move upwards when the latching plate is released, the arm 16 is pivoted by a spring 25 and tilted to the position shown in the Figure. The wire 22 is therefore released and enters a slot 26 in a bracket 27 mounted to the carriage 10. The switch 18 opens and remains open to prevent power being re-instated to the heating elements. Even if the arm 16 is thereafter pushed down, the switch 18 cannot be closed because no downward pressure can be applied to the spring 22 until the carriage 10 has moved upwards beyond an intermediate position.

Abstract: A method for forming a thermal barrier coating system on a turbine engine
component includes forming a bondcoat on the turbine engine component
and depositing a thermal barrier coating so as to overlie the bondcoat. The
bondcoat is formed by thermally co-spraying first and second distinct alloy
powders on the turbine engine component forming an oxidation-resistant
region, and thermally spraying a third alloy powder on the oxidation-resistant
region to form a bonding region. The oxidation-resistant region is more
resistant to oxidation than the bonding region.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for computational determination of ground fault distance in an electric power transmission network connected into a ring configuration utilizing the information available, e.g., from the numerical measurement data obtained by means of a multifunction protective relay. According to the method, the fault is detected and the faulted sending end (6) is identified, the fault resistance to ground is computed, and the faulted sending end (6) is connected to form a looped ring with one of the sound sending ends (5). According to the invention, the zero-sequence voltage, the line-to-neutral voltages and the zero-sequence currents of the sending ends connected into a looped ring are measured, plus one line-to-line voltage to obtain a phase reference for phasor synchronization, the looped ring is released after the measurements, the phases of the measurement signals are referenced to the line-to-line voltage and frequency components different from the fundamental frequency are filtered away, whereupon the RMS values of the signals are computed based on the thus obtained fundamental-frequency components of the signals, and the fault distance is computed, whereupon the faulted line section can be disconnected. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A fluid pressure device including a housing (13) defining a high pressure port (31)
and a low pressure port (33). The housing defines a shuttle bore (35) and disposed therein
is a shuttle valve assembly (51) including a shuttle spool (63). The shuttle spool (63)
defines a fluid passage (87) disposed to provide fluid communication from the low
pressure chamber (57) to the shuttle outlet port (85) as the shuttle spool moves from its
neutral position (FIG. 2) to the end of its centered range of positions (FIG. 3). The low
pressure fluid from the chamber (57) is communicated through the fluid passage (87) and
acts on a shuttle poppet member (75), aiding the shuttle spool (63) and its shoulder (67)
and unseating (opening) the poppet member (75), thus reducing the fluid pressure in the
high pressure chamber (55) required to begin opening the shuttle valve assembly (51).
Thus, diversion of fluid, for cooling or lubrication, will occur over a greater range of
device operating pressures, minimizing the chance for damage to system components.

Elektronenstrahles befindet. Dann wird dieser Flächenabschnitt mit dem Elektronenstrahl
spotweise abgetastet und aus den Intensitäten der von den einzelnen
Spots rückgestreuten Strahlung ein Rasterbild gewonnen und mit einem
Rasterbild desselben Flächenabschnittes bei Soll-Position des Wafers
(Template) verglichen. Aus der Abweichung werden Stellbefehle zur Positionsveränderung
