Abstract: A new ytterbium-phosphate glass and a method for producing the same are disclosed. The glass finds special use in forming laser glass. Previously the level of ytterbium that could be incorporated into a phosphate glass without leading to formation of crystals or devitrification was limited. It has been found that much higher levels of ytterbium can be incorporated if an initial glass melt is formed from phosphate and ytterbium prior to adding the other components. Using the present process ytterbium-phosphate glasses having up to 30 mole percent ytterbium can be created. The new glasses function as well and often better than previous ytterbium containing glasses as laser glasses especially when combined with one or more of the lasing ions erbium oxide, neodymium oxide, holmium oxide or thulium oxide.

Abstract: A pressure transducer suitable for use as a component of a passive occupant detection system installed in a passenger vehicle. The transducer comprises first and second contact members separated by a spacing member. The first contact member has on a surface thereof a primary contact comprising first and second terminations and portions spaced apart in a first direction. The second contact member has on a surface thereof a plurality of secondary contacts crossing and facing the spaced-apart portions of the primary contact through an opening in the spacing member. Application of an increasing force causes the contact members to move toward each other, causing an increasing number of the spaced-apart portions to be shorted out by the secondary contacts and causing an increasing number of secondary contacts to contact the primary contact, thereby altering the electrical path between the terminations of the primary contact.

Abstract: A system for determining the optimal circuit design simulator schedule for debugging a digital electronic circuit design. The system characterizes all available circuit design simulators in terms of several parameters reflecting simulator speed and the time required to discover, isolate and fix a design error (bug). A cutover point is established for any pair of available simulators on the basis of these parameters. One simulator is progressively more efficient than the other beyond this cutover point, which is the desired time for scheduling substitution of the more efficient simulator during the debugging process. The system also permits "what-if" evaluation of alternative debugging strategies in advance by creating alternative schedules in response to various characteristic parameters.

Abstract: A capacitor exhibiting a benign failure mode has a first electrode layer, a first ceramic dielectric layer deposited on a surface of the first electrode, and a second electrode layer disposed on the ceramic dielectric layer, wherein selected areas of the ceramic dielectric layer have additional dielectric material of sufficient thickness to exhibit a higher dielectric breakdown voltage than the remaining majority of the dielectric layer. The added thickness of the dielectric layer in selected areas allows lead connections to be made at the selected areas of greater dielectric thickness while substantially eliminating a risk of dielectric breakdown and failure at the lead connections, whereby the benign failure mode is preserved.

Abstract: H.sub.2 S is removed from a fluid stream by contacting the stream with an aqueous solution having at least two components: an effective amount of an iron (III) chelate to oxidize H.sub.2 S to sulfur and, an amount of a water soluble anionic polymer containing sulfonic acid groups, carboxyl groups or mixtures thereof which is effective to stabilize the chelate. During the removal process the iron chelate is reduced to iron(II) chelate, and sulfur particles are produced.
