Abstract: An insulating pulp for insulating buildings and other type structures and wherein the pulp is formed of organic fibers having a fiber length of from about 1.0 mm to 3 mm. Such pulp is obtained by a chemi-thermomechanical pulping process and the pulp may be supplied in fluff form or compressed sheet form which is later defibrillized. A fire retardant additive and a corrosive buffing agent is added to the pulp. A major characteristic of such insulating pulp is that it has a density in the range of from about 0.7 to 2.0 lbs/ft<3> and has an excellent thermal insulation value of about R3 to R4 per inch. The chemi-thermomechanical wood pulp is produced from debarked trees which are primarily black spruce which have these long and strong fibers. The pulp is applied by injecting it through a compressed air conduit and at the same time an adhesive is injected in the pulp to form a binding agent. Because of the property of the fibers and the fiber distribution in the fluff, the pulp is also an excellent acoustical insulator. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In laser diode transmitters for bit rates in the gigabit range, there exists the serious problem of impedance-matching the laser module over a broad frequency range with the laser driver via a waveguide. When the laser driver is terminated with a terminal resistor, division of the modulation current occurs and thereby a reduction in the modulation of the laser diode. According to the invention, the terminal resistor is replaced by a line network which has characteristic impedance shifts and thus produces reflections in the modulation current which, with suitable dimensioning, are added inversely to the reflections of the laser module to form a zero product. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A capacitor charging circuit for charging a defibrillation capacitor in a constant period of time regardless of battery voltage by employing a controlled duty cycle charging technique. The defibrillation capacitor is charged in a piecemeal manner through a transistor and flyback transformer circuit. The gate of the transistor is driven by a constant frequency pulse train inverter drive signal in which voltage is conveyed to the capacitors during one-half of the full cycle of the pulse train. The primary of the transformer is controlled by each pulse of the inverter drive signal so that the secondary of the transformer supplies current to the defibrillation capacitors during the off half cycle of the drive signal, the charge being built up in the defibrillation capacitors incrementally during the off half cycle of the inverter drive signal until the predetermined voltage is reached. <IMAGE>
