    摘要: A receptacle for flat sheet-like items, for example letters, is incorporated in a machine, for example a letter sorting machine, which includes first conveyor means (2) arranged to deposit the items in a laid flat position in the receptacle. The receptacle incorporates a second conveyor (4) which is arranged to receive and support the items being stacked, and is operable to move these items away from the loading position in such manner that apart from an initially formed stack, the items adopt a successively overlapping relationship in the receptacle.

    摘要: An electronic telephone exchange of the type employing time-space-time switching, has an optical fibre data link connecting the space (3) and time switches (2,4). In order to meet the design requirements for use in a telephone exchange, the fibre optic link has to have fairly well defined performance parameters. In particular the overall diameters of the optical fibres (16) employed in the optical fibre link lies between 180 and 250 microns, preferably 200 microns, and the core diameter of the optical fibres (16) lies in the range 0.6 to 0.95 of the cladding diameter. Preferably the core diameter lies in the range 160 to 180 microns. The optical fibre link is characterised by the numerical aperture of the fibre, insertion loss of the fibre, sensitivity and dynamic range of the receiver (19) and the power output and extinction ratio of the transmitter (13).

    摘要: Gold is preferred as the conductor material in metallisation layer (4) of a semiconductor device because of its high conductivity and freedom from electromigration effects but gold is inclined to diffuse into the semiconductor substrate (1),typically silicon, so degrading the p-n junction characteristics within the semiconductor substrate and rendering the device inoperative. Previously this problem has been overcome by placing a protective barrier layer of titanium (3) between the gold layer (4) and the substrate (1). The gold/titanium interface is subject to corrosion and this corrosion adjacent the substrate (1) contrining the active areas of the device also leads to failure of the device. This is prevented by covering the gold metallisation layer (4) ofthe device on its top (5), bottom (3) and side surfaces (7) with titanium. This prevents the diffusion of the gold into any other layer (1, 2, 8) of the semiconductor device above or below it and there is no gold/titanium interface exposed adjacent any active area of the device.

    摘要: Graded index optical fibres can be made by a double crucible technique in which the refractive index gradation is induced by thermal diffusion. In fibre made from alkali- boro-alkaline earth-silica glasses, the refractive index variation in the fibre is improved if the core and cladding glass compositions are selected so that no simple ion-exchange processes occur. These fibres have improved bandwith. Preferred glass compositions for the core contain 55-65 mole per cent silica, 10-20 mole per cent boric oxide, 14 to 25 mole per cent sodium oxide, and up to 20 mole per cent of alkaline earth oxide, preferred glass composition for the cladding contain 55-65 mole per cent silica, 10-20 mole per cent boric oxide, 19-25 mole per cent sodium oxide, and the cladding glass contains the same amount or less sodium oxide than the core.

    摘要: The availability of service in a telephone exchange is evaluated by a technique which includes monitoring for each call type over a period oftimethe level of usage of the items of equipment required forthat call type and evaluating using the monitored data the probability of each particular item not being able to provide a service when required. The probability figures of the call types can be combined to give an index figure indicative of the availability of service of the exchange.
