Abstract: The invention concerns an amplifier circuit for receiving an optical signal. The circuit comprises a light sensitive member ( 301 ) which delivers an electric signal in response to an optical signal. Furthermore, the amplifier circuit comprises an amplifier unit ( 302 ) with a first input ( 304 ) which receives an electric signal from the light sensitive member ( 301 ). The amplifier unit ( 302 ) is of the kind which does not have any special input intended for controlling the amplification. A filter unit ( 310 ) prevents a possible direct current from the light sensitive member ( 301 ) from reaching the first input ( 304 ). A control unit ( 314 ) is connected to the first input ( 304 ) for controlling the amplification of the circuit. The invention also concerns an optical communication system comprising an amplifier circuit of the above-described kind. The invention also concerns a method of controlling the amplification in an optical input stage.

Abstract: Semiconductor circuit devices (dies) are incorporated into moisture-impenetrable electronic packages by forming enclosures around the die in three separate parts-base, sidewalls, and lid. The die is first soldered or otherwise bonded to the base, followed by attachment of the sidewalls to the base, and finally the lid to the sidewalls. For procedures involving a heat-conductive base and a high soldering temperature, the die can be secured to the base at the high soldering temperature, followed by application of the sidewalls to the base at a significantly lower temperature, avoiding potential high-temperature damage to the sidewalls. Plastic sidewalls which would otherwise deteriorate or become distorted upon exposure to the high soldering temperature can thus be used. For electronic packages in general, the use of plastic sidewalls allows the use of combinations of materials for the lid and base that are otherwise incompatible, and reduces or eliminates the incidence of failure due to stress fractures that occur during the high temperatures encountered in fabrication, assembly, testing, or use of the package.

Abstract: It is known from the prior art that holes in a workpiece are filled completely with a solder powder, which leads especially in the case of large holes to the formation of cracks within the solder due to the large volume filled in once the solder cools off after soldering. The invention provides a method for closing a recess (4, 5) of a workpiece (1), which allows closing an opening (3) of a recess (4, 5) without the risk of crack formation, by using only a solder film (7) for closing the recess (4, 5). Said solder film (7) has a content of non-melting material and therefore is substantially less prone to form cracks.

Abstract: A rotary machine is disclosed having a rotor 11, a stator 16, and blade rows 12, 14 on the rotor and stator that impart a high swirl component to gases flowing through the machine so that the denser impurities are deflected radially outwards by centripetal action onto the inner wall of the stator of the machine. A ramped guide surface is provided on the inner wall 17 of the stator along which any impurities separated by the centripetal action from the main gas stream are entrained by the main gas stream and guided to flow from the gas intake side to the gas outlet side of the machine. The guide surface is radially stepped to resist only reverse flow of the separated impurities back towards the gas intake side of the machine and serves at the downstream end of the machine to discharge the separated impurities back into the main gas stream for the impurities to exit from the machine with the main gas stream. <IMAGE>
