摘要： A sealing plug for blind installation in a suitable hole thereby to plug and seal the hole, which sealing plug has a sleeve (1); a stem (2) having a head at least part of which is radially enlarged with respect to the remainder of the stem (2); the stem head (4) having a shoulder, the shoulder being provided with an annular protrusion (9); the stem (2) protruding from one end of the sleeve (1), and the annular protrusion (9) abutting the other end of the sleeve (1); the stem head (4) being of a material which is harder than that of the sleeve (1) and being formed with a weakened portion (3) intermediate the head (4) and the part of the stem remote therefrom; whereby, when the sealing plug is inserted in a suitable hole, with the sleeve (1) entirely within the hole, and increasing force is applied to the stem (2) with respect to the sleeve (1), axial compression is applied by the shoulder to the sleeve material abutting it, thereby causing the annular protrusion (9) on the stem head (4) to embed into the sleeve (1), and the sleeve to deform and expand radially to engage with the wall of the hole, and thereafter the stem (2) breaks at the weakened portion so that the head (4) remains in the sleeve (1).

摘要： A method of reacquiring a satellite signal within an integrated GP/IG navigation system (100) comprising s a GPS unit (102) and an IG unit (104). The system detects a loss of synchronization between satellite signal timing code and a reference timing code, whrein position data is received from the IG unit (104) and representative of an estimated position of the navigation system (100). The system includes a DSP unit (112), which estimates a distance from the navigation system (100) to the satellite (106), as a function of the position data, and derives an initial delay from the distance. The DSP (112 delays the reference timing code, with respect to a satellite signal timing code, by an offset delay until the satellite timing code is synchronized with the reference timing code.

摘要： An optical fiber coil assembly (100) includes an optical fiber wound (130) about an axis rotation (AX). A first section of the fiber, from the intermediate point to the first end, is wound around a bobbin (110) in a first direction about the axis of rotation (AX). A second section of the fiber, from the intermediate point to the second end, is wound, at least partially, around the bobbin (110) in a second direction opposite the first direction. A reversal (195) of the fiber (125), however, allows an end portion of the second section to be wound around the bobbin (110) in the first direction, along with an end portion of the first section. The coil assembly (100) further includes an epoxy zipper (310) disposed between the first and second sections of the fiber, forming a fiber lead pair (180). An epoxy bridge (190) disposed between the fiber lead pair (180) and the bobbin (110) secures the fiber lead pair (180) to the bobbin (110).

摘要： In a method of amplifying optical input signals over a wide bandwidth, the optical input signals are applied to an optical waveguide (810) made from a rare-earth-doped amorphous material (e.g., erbium-doped yttrium aluminum oxide material). The optical input signals include optical signals having wavelengths over a range of at least 80 nanometers, and, preferably, over a range of at least 160 nanometers. Pump light (830) is applied to the optical waveguide (810) to cause the waveguide (810) to provide optical gain to the optical input signals. The optical gain causes the optical signals to be amplified within the waveguide (810) to provide amplified optical signals over the extended 80-160-nanometer range, including, in particular, optical signals having wavelengths at one end of the range and optical signals having wavelengths at a second end of the range.

摘要： The edging strip is a development of the invention described in UK - PS 2250192, which provides a method of securing an edge of floorcovering to a floor surface. The method is characterised by using an edging strip comprising separate housing and insert strips, which are interfitted via co-operating locking means. The edging strips described are relatively deep and may need to be fitted into channels formed in the floor. The present invention provides an edging strip of relatively shallow construction, which is characterised by the interlocking means comprising a housing strip (2) which is 'U' shaped, one sidewall (17) of which is higher than the other sidewall (18) by an amount substantially equal to or greater than the thickness of the floorcovering, and an insert strip (3) which is 'L' shaped, the horizontal limb (19) being adapted to fit within the housing strip groove (20) with its upper surface level with or higher than the housing sidewall (18) with its vertical limb (22) adjacent the housing sidewall (17) and of equal height. Co-operating projections (24) and mating recesses (25) are provided in said insert and housing strips which lie in the horizontal plane. Preferably, the housing sidewall (17) is inclined so as to flex and thereby facilitate fixing the insert strip by pressing down along its length to snap fit into the housing strip (2).

摘要： A multi-image detector assembly has an array (16) of detector elements formed upon a single focal plane and a plurality of focusing members (12), each focusing member (12) focusing a substantially identical scene upon a corresponding one of a plurality of sections (20) of the array (16). An optical element (18) such as a spectral or polarizing filter is disposed within a plurality of the optical paths of the focusing members (12), preferably proximate the focal plane (16). Image detection occurs continuously and simultaneously so as to provide a spatially and temporally correlated set of separate images utilizing the single focal plane (16).

摘要： An implant (10) for use in the treatment of glaucoma is disclosed wherein the implant (10) comprises an elastomeric plate (40) having a non-valved elastomeric drainage tube (42) attached thereto. The plate (40) is elliptical in shape and curved so as to conform to the curvature of the eye (12). The plate (40) is inserted into the eye (12) in an incision (70) made in the Tenon's capsule (44) and sutured to the sclera (14). The drainage tube (42) is tunnelled through the Tenon's capsule (44) and cornea (16) and inserted into the anterior chamber (30), thus providing patent fluid communication between the anterior chamber (30) and the elastomeric plate (40). The flexible structure of the plate (40) allows the plate to be easily inserted, thus reducing the surgical procedure length. In addition, the pliable material minimizes the risk of damage and trauma to surrounding tissues in the insertion process.
