Patent CA-2459502-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MARUYAMA SHINICHIRO
IPC: G02B6/28
Filed: 2004-03-04
Abstract: A manufacturing method is provided for enabling efficient manufacture of an optical fiber coupler with satisfactory optical characteristic. Two optical fibers of which sheaths are partly removed are aligned and held to be substantially in parallel and in contact with each other, and then heated and drawn to be fused. During the fusing, a multiplexed light of different wavelengths is input into either one of the optical fibers and a branching state of the lights output from the optical fibers is detected. In accordance with a cubic function that is found based on a relationship in a previously manufactured optical fiber coupler between a branching ratio (CR) of the wavelengths and a branching ratio difference (.DELTA.CR) at fusion stop point of the optical fibers, fusing process of the in-process optical fiber coupler is stopped when a branching ratio difference (.DELTA.CR) thereof during the fusing process becomes substantially equal to a branching difference (.DELTA.CR0) that is computed based on the cubic function. The fusion stop timing can be automatically controlled with the cubic function based on measured values, an optical fiber coupler with a desired branching ratio is highly accurately and easily manufactured.

Title: Apparatus for processing a product
Inventor: BOVE MEENAKSHI J
IPC: A47J27/04
Filed: 2004-07-28
Abstract: An apparatus and method of processing a product, such as food product, are disclosed. Untreated product is placed inside a bottom-unloading basket that is, in turn, placed within a covered vessel. For processing a food product, a porous steamer apparatus is provided for insertion into a covered cooking vessel. The steamer apparatus is comprised of two unfastened pieces, a basket and a support base, each of which has a plurality of small holes through which steam, but not food product, may pass. The basket holds the food product, is roughly cylindrical in shape, has an open-ended top and an open-ended bottom, and rests firmly upon, but is not fastened to, the support base during the steam-cooking process. The support base has an inverted conical shape and a vertical pole that has a hook-shaped upper terminus and that is integrally-connected to and protruding above and below the uppermost point of the support base. A perforated, closed spice container is removably fastened to the pole at a point underneath the support base. During the pressurized steam-cooking process, a pressure dome is removably fastened onto the cooking vessel. Upon completion of the steam-cooking process; the pressure dome is unfastened from the vessel and the basket is lifted out of the vessel, thereby releasing all of the food product directly into the vessel, and the support base, due to its inverted conical shape and hooked upper end, is easily lifted up through the cooked food product and out of the vessel, simultaneously with the spice container. An agitator dome having integrally-connected mixing blades is then removably fastened onto the top of the vessel, and the food product is mechanically mixed at ambient atmospheric pressure.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil pourvu d'une unité compresseur/turbine destinée à fournir de l'air chaud propre et/ou de l'énergie électrique. Pendant le cycle de combustion, le combustible est brûlé dans une chambre de combustion. Les gaz d'échappement chauds fournissent de la chaleur à un cycle d'air de traitement par l'intermédiaire d'un échangeur thermique. L'énergie thermique restante peut être déchargée par un échangeur thermique air-air atmosphérique. Dans le cycle d'air de traitement, l'air froid circule à travers le compresseur, est chauffé par l'intermédiaire de l'échangeur thermique décrit ci-dessus, puis se dilate dans une turbine. La turbine et le compresseur sont couplés sur un arbre unique. La pression restante du flux d'air propulse un moteur pneumatique qui entraîne une soufflante et une unité générateur pour produire de l'énergie électrique. La soufflante mélange l'air de traitement chaud et l'air secondaire froid, et fournit l'air mélangé à un endroit dans lequel cet air est utilisé. Un éjecteur peut être utilisé à la place de la soufflante.
