Granted: 2006-04-11
Abstract: A Terminator by Tapering Fiber Optic (herein after named Term Taper) made directly using a single mode optical fiber to reduce the back reflection which occurs when a guided incident optical signal encounters an index of refraction change at a glass-air transition in an installed optical fiber link. The single mode fiber has at one end, a first length of exposed fiber which is obtained by way of stripping the jacket from that portion of fiber. The bare fiber is positioned in a suitable heating apparatus in order to enable a biconical taper to be formed on that portion of bare fiber. The biconical taper contributes to obtain a return loss of better than 55 dB for any guided optical signal that propagates through the TermTaper. The TermTaper is assembled in any type of suitable mounting device.

Granted: 2012-09-25
Abstract: The invention relates to packaging, (100) e.g. an envelope or a parcel, that can be checked for tampering, which packaging includes a hermetically sealed body, the body being formed by folding a sheet of material (101) that has been cut to a predefined shape. In order to track the object packaged in the packaging and in order to check the packaging for tampering, the tampering further includes an electronic component (130) that can be interrogated remotely and that is formed by data storage means (131) connected to an antenna (132). The antenna (132) is formed by an antenna circuit (133) which extends at least over the entire periphery of the inside surface of the sheet of material. Thus, any fraudulent opening of the packaging can be detected by the antenna circuit (133) breaking, thereby making any transmission with the component of the packaging impossible.

Abstract: Waste heat from a steam cycle employing a steam boiler is used to heat water, on an on-demand basis, in a steam-to-water heat exchanger wherein the supply of steam into the heat exchanger is regulated so as to maintain the temperature of the heated water exiting the heat exchanger at a relatively constant pre-set temperature. Further waste heat may be recaptured .from the steam boiler steam cycle by pre-heating the incoming cold water being fed into the steam-to-water heat exchanger in the on-demand water heater using the still-hot condensate from the condensation of the steam in the steam-to-water heat exchanger. A condensate-to-water heat exchanger may be employed to pre-heat the cold water infeed to the steam-to-water heat exchanger.
