Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention concerns an arrangement for supervising a number of devices forming a group of devices in a telecommuni-cation system, concerning the operational quality, i.e. the ratio of the number of normal operations and the total number of operations, which devices (relays, relay sets, registers etc) alternately are in operation and released.  Two counters are connected to each of the individual devices, namely a first counter for registration of the total number of operations of the device, and a second counter for recording the number of operations of the device exceeding a certain minimum time.  A first quotient between said values is periodically established for each individual device.  A first adder adds the total number of operations for each device belonging to said group.          A second adder adds the number of operations exceeding a certain minimum time for each device in the group.  A second quotient is established between said two values concerning the whole group.  In a comparator, a comparison is made between said first quotient for the individual devices and said second quotient.  An alarm arrangement  delivers alarm signals when the difference between said quotients exceeds a certain value.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE        An extrusion pelleting process and apparatus is disclosed wherein the outermost portion of an extrusion orifice is surrounded by a heat reservoir maintained at a temperature significantly higher than the softening tempera-ture range of the polymer being extruded. The high tempra-ture heat reservoir constitutes a heat source from which individual extrusion orifices may be heated above the polymer's softening range to assist in melting frozen plugs of polymer which may block the orifice from time to time.         Also disclosed is a heat flow control mechanism, in effect, for slowing the heat release from the reservoir to the individual extrusion orifices for economy of operation while still making available such high temperature source for unfreezing such plugs.           The presence of a combination coolant and lubricating film at least partially comprised of nonvaporized liquid coolant between the material being extruded and the inner surface of its extrusion orifice which produces an extrusion in rod of strand-like form having a partially solidified exterior shell prior to cutting into individual pellets is believed to enable the operation of the outer platen of the subject device at significantly higher temperature than prior are devices without the adverse effects of polymer over-heating.

Abstract: HAND-HELD TOOL FOR OPTICAL FIBER WAVEGUIDE END PREPARATION            ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE       A tool for preparing the ends of optical fiber waveguides prior to such operations as splicing is disclosed. m e tool is adapted for single-handed operation and comprises pair of manually actuated handles, first and second fiber-supporting surfaces, and a third fiber-supporting surface interjacent the first and second.  The optical fiber wave-guide is secured to the first and second surfaces by a pair of clamps which are responsive to the squeezing of the handles.     Once the fiber waveguide is secured to the surfaces, further squeezing of the handle produces separating rotation of a pair of jaw members to stress the fiber. A cutting blade, suspended above the third surface, is released by the manual actuation of a thumb latch positioned on the tool in alignment with the natural position of the operator's thumb when the handles are being squeezed.  Rotation of the thumb latch permits the blade to fall, either under the influence of gravity or a driving spring, to produce a peripheral microcrack on a portion of optical fiber waveguide lying on the third fiber-supporting surface.  The induced stress, and curved support, of the fiber waveguide act in combination to propagate the microcrack diametrically through the fiber so that an appropriate fiber end is obtained.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE      Deterioration of the electrical contacts of variable load flashers provided for intermittently energizing vehicle signal lamps is inhibited by the provision of a coiled length of a current conductor having a suitable inductance value connecting the flasher contacts with at least one output terminal.  In the case of a two-terminal flasher, the con-ductor extends to the single output terminal from a junction at the flasher contacts and in such a flasher for use in a signal lamp circuit having a relatively high current load, the coiled length is wound about a heat conductive core member connected to the single output terminal and has an inductance value of about 5.8 to 6 microhenrys.  In two terminal flashers for use in signal lamp circuits having a lower current load, the coiled length may have an air core and an inductance value of about 2 to 2.2 microhenrys.  In the case of a three-terminal flasher, the output conductor extends to one of the two output terminals, and this terminal is connectable with the other by means including normally open contacts of a load-sensitive relay the activiating coil of which is constituted by the coiled length of the output conductor having an inductance value of about 5.8 to 6 microhenrys, thus inhibiting sparking and contact deterioration at both the relay contacts and the flasher contacts.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE   A bland protein product having a texture and mouth feel simulating animal meat is prepared from a dough-like mixture of proteinaceous material and water. The proteinaceous material can comprise relatively low protein content blends or even single ingredients such as soy flour. The process comprises continuously extruding the protein dough in the form of a relatively thin sheet of semi-rigid protein material into a first confined treating zone while simultaneously subjecting the thin sheet in the extrusion die to externally applied heat to texturize both surfaces of the sheet before it enters into the first confined zone. A stream of heated gas and condensables is introduced into the first confined zone to buoy up, flex and help propel the sheet of surface - texturized protein through the confined zone where additional texturization takes place. The sheet then is cut into segments by rotating longitudinal knife edges against a stationary straight edge and the segments are conveyed through a second confined zone where final texturizing takes place. Finally, the protein segments are passed through a suitable back pressure means at the end of the second confined zone, and recovered in usable form. Apparatus for performing this process is also disclosed.
