Title: Average air temperature sensor
Inventor: COTTON DALE C
IPC: F24F11/00
Filed: 1995-08-08
Granted: 2000-01-18
Abstract: An average temperature sensor designed for use in an air conditioning unit, wherein the air conditioning unit has a high pressure region and a low pressure region, and a method for making an average temperature measurement.  The average temperature sensor senses the average temperature of air flowing in the high pressure region and comprises a device for conveying a flow of air that is in fluid communication with the high pressure region. A temperature sensor is disposed in a temperature sensing relationship to the device for conveying the flow of air. The high pressure in the high pressure region induces a flow of air in the device for conveying a flow of air. This flow of air flows from the high pressure region to the low pressure region and is at the average temperature of the air in the high pressure region. The device for conveying the flow of air includes a plurality of air inlets selectively disposed within the high pressure region to receive a sample flow of air that has a temperature that is representative of the average temperature of the air flowing in the high pressure region.

Patent CA-2206833-C (CA)
Inventor: OGASAWARA SATOSHI
IPC: H04L13/08
Filed: 1996-10-15
Granted: 2000-12-19
Abstract: A data receiving apparatus writes only a necessary part of data received via a communication network or the like in a file (6). Start indicating information and end indicating information located before and after character string data to be downloaded are previously registered in a RAM (6) of a personal computer. Character string data received via a communication control section (13) is temporarily stored in a reception buffer (6), and the start indicating information and end indicating information are detected from the received character string data. Then, character string data located between the start indicating information and end indicating information is extracted from the received character string data and the extracted character string data is downloaded into a file. As a necessary part in the received data is written in a file, the file size is prevented from increasing and a user need not instruct the start and end of the desired character string data to be received, thus significantly simplifying the instructing operation.

Title: Method of improved landfill mining
Inventor: MARKELS MICHAEL JR
IPC: B09C1/00
Filed: 1996-05-24
Granted: 2005-04-12
Abstract: The present invention includes a method of landfill (3, 4) mining which comprises the following steps: converting the landfill (3, 4) to aerobic production by injection (7) of moisture and air, and a raw material such as sewage sludge, and venting (1, 2) of depleted air and moisture, thereby increasing the rate of waste decomposition; excavating the landfill (3, 4) to remove material; separating the removed material to substantially isolate at least one segregated material from the residual material; disposing of at least one segregated material; and returning the residual material to the landfill (3, 4).

Title: Current control for an analog optical link
Inventor: GNAUCK ALAN H
IPC: H04B10/293
Filed: 1998-04-16
Granted: 2002-06-11
Abstract: A control circuit for an injection laser provides a pre-bias current which prevents clipping induced errors in the laser output. An analog modulating signal is provided directly to the laser which receives the sum of a feedback current (Ifb) and a current source (Io) as the pre-bias current (Ipb).  A monitor diode detects the laser light output and provides a current (Idet).  A feedback circuit operates in a limited dynamic range, e.g. I~ +/- 40 mA or is incapable of outputting a negative current (Ifb>0). The feedback circuit responds to changes in Idet and adjusts the laser pre-bias current to hold Idet equal to a preset value, which effectively holds the laser's average output power constant. If the pre-bias current necessary to hold Idet fixed falls below some minimum level, Imin, the feedback circuit will run out of dynamic range and the laser's average power will increase. By preventing Ipb from falling below Imin clipping induced errors and distortion are avoided.

Abstract: A hollow parison (P) of a glass container is formed from a gob of molten glass, the parison having a body portion (B) with a closed end and an open end.  The body portion of the parison is formed in an annular blank mold (14). The parison also has a finish portion (F) at the open end of the body portion of the parison, the finish portion being formed by an annular neck mold (16) which is positioned against an end of the blank mold during the forming of the parison.  An annular cage (26) surrounds a substantial axially extending portion of the blank mold. The annular cage receives cooling air and directs cooling air against cooling fins (24) on the exterior of the blank mold to cool the body portion of the parison while it is in the blank mold. Spent cooling fluid from the annular cage flows therefrom through an opening aligned with the open end of the body portion of the parison. The annular cage is axially slideable along the longitudinal central axis of the blank mold with respect to the blank mold and is biased away from the annular neck mold by a compression spring (32) that is trapped between an annular pressure plate (34) and a portion of the annular cage. Cooling air exiting from the opening in the annular cage is caused to flow past the annular neck mold to assist in cooling the finish portion of the parison by an annular skirt (36) that is positioned below the annular pressure plate toward the annular neck mold.

An array (140) of field-controlled polarization rotators are positioned in the paths of the decomposed light beams so that the polarization of the emergent beam pairs are set to be at one of the orthogonal states (i.e., both beams are either vertical or horizontally polarized). A following birefringent element (150) spatially routes the light beam pairs based upon their polarization. A second array (160) of polarization rotators follows the second birefringent element (150) and is set to be in the opposite state from the first array (140), such that the emergent beams are orthogonal to their input states before they entered the first polarization rotator (140). The beams are combined by a firefringent element (170) to form a plurality of combined beams that are coupled to output ports (102, 103).
