    Abstract: A system and method of probing work pieces is described. A first and second arm each having a pivot point and a guide end are pivotally coupled together at the respective pivot points. A probe tip holder is coupled to at least one of the first arm or the second arm. A guide means guides movement of the guide ends of the pivotally coupled arms, such that movement of the guide end of the first arm and the second arm move the probe tip holder in a plane parallel to the work piece surface.

    Abstract: An apparatus which absorbs gas that has been discharged from a pipe at a high velocity and which releases the gas to the atmosphere at a reduced velocity and with relatively low noise. The apparatus includes a container which has a container interior, a container inlet through which the gas enters the container interior, and a container outlet, preferably located at the top of the container, through which the gas is released to the atmosphere. The container further includes a container expanded section and a container main section. The container expanded section, which acts to reduce the velocity of the gas, is located intermediate the container inlet and the container main section and has an inner surface cross-sectional area which expands from the container inlet to the container main section. The container also includes deflector vanes for diverting the flow of the gas within the container interior towards the container outlet. The deflector vanes provide the gas flow with a smooth and gradual transition from the container inlet to the container outlet thereby enhancing the flow characteristics and properties of the gas flow within the container and reducing the vibrations and noise level associated with high velocity gas flow and speed reduction. In the preferred embodiment, deflector vanes are attached within the container interior to divert the flow of gas, each vane preferably attached at an angle from horizontal ranging from 20 to 50 degrees.

    Abstract: A regenerative amplifier includes a resonant cavity having a gain medium and a spectral filter located in the cavity. A source is provided to pump the gain medium and thereby raise it to an excited state. Elements are also provided for creating laser seed pulses which are then injected into the resonant cavity, these elements preferably include in part a mode-locked oscillator having a wavelength substantially the same as that at which the gain medium can support amplification of the energy of the injected pulse. In a preferred embodiment the gain medium is Ti:Sapphire for both the amplifier and oscillator. Also, in the preferred embodiment the seed pulse from the oscillator is stretched in time by multiplicative factors sufficient to ensure that upon amplification, the seed pulse power density remains below the self-focusing threshold of the material through which the pulse is passed. The seed laser pulses are injected into the resonant cavity of the regenerative amplifier so as to provide multiple traversals of the resonant cavity and the gain medium therein, thereby amplifying the pulses. The pulse is recompressed back to some predetermined pulse width of interest to the user; for example, back to the temporal pulse width that is limited by the spectral bandwidth of the output pulse.

    Abstract: A dryer assembly dries waste materials to a predetermined moisture level. The dryer includes a drum having an inlet where waste materials and hot gasses are simultaneously introduced, and an outlet where dried materials and hot vapors are transferred out of the dryer. The drum presents a plurality of preheat baffles in which the material is heated by but does not contact the gasses, thereby avoiding premature combustion of the material. Baffle sections located downstream of preheat baffles uniformly distribute material downstream into a primary drying section of the drum, where the material is mixed with the gasses to uniformly dry the material to the predetermined moisture level. The primary drying section includes alternating baffle sections which dry the material and which recycle material that is not yet dried back into the preceding baffle sections, respectively. The dryer can be readily adapted to accommodate a wide variety of materials of widely varying moisture levels by modifying the dwell times of the material within individual dryer sections and/or by varying the diameter of the dryer and the lengths of the individual dryer sections.

    Abstract: A tunable optical filter is configured to take point measurements at a few optical frequencies per frequency channel of a DWDM optical network. The measurement frequencies are shifted by pre-determined amounts relative to the optical frequency channel being characterized. Since the spectral shape of the tunable optical filter is known, the center optical frequency, the modulation bandwidth, and the total optical power of the channel can be obtained from as few as three optical measurements. The center optical frequency and the total optical power can be continuously monitored by providing a tunable filter stage coupled to an interleaver stage, and computing a ratio and a weighted sum the optical signals at the two outputs of the interleaver stage.
