Apparatus 50 for splicing a pair of optical waveguides 32,34 in a splice 5 having three cylindrical rods 2 in a tubular plastic body 12 having a profiled surface 20 which is radially compressed by crimping collars 26. Apparatus 50 has holders 96,96' which hold body 12 stationary and clamping pins 106,106' activated by clamping levers 102,102' to hold waveguides 32,34 stationary while crimpers 90,90' are moved together by rotating handle 65'. Clamping slide 114 and clamp 116 travel on rods 115,117 a limited distance useful in placing the waveguide ends in the center of the splice 5 prior to moving the crimping collars 26.
摘要:
A fringe pattern from an interferometer is imaged onto a digital micromirror device containing an array of micromirrors in an associated pattern of pixel mirror rotational states that provide for sampling the circular fringe pattern in cooperation with one or more associated photodetectors, so as to provide for generate a corresponding set of associated complementary signals. A plurality of different sets of associated complementary signals generated for a corresponding plurality of mutually independent associated patterns of pixel mirror rotational states are used to determine at least one metric associated with the circular fringe pattern.
摘要:
A formal ontology includes multiple context elements to describe elements and their context within a system in the domain. The structure includes multiple role functions to describe the function of elements in the system, multiple types to describe values being provided by the elements in the system, and multiple states to describe states of the elements in the system, wherein the context elements, role functions, types, and states are selectable to provide a full description of the system.
摘要:
Assay methods may generally comprise forming homogeneous assay mixtures comprising target SAM-utilizing protein, fluorescent detection analyte, and test compound, incubating, and measuring FP or TR-FRET signal emitted in order to determine a measure of test compound-SAM-utilizing protein binding. Assay mixtures comprise a SAM-utilizing protein, and a fluorescent detection analyte that binds with the SAM-utilizing protein in the absence of test compound. Assay mixtures may further comprise a test compound. Assay mixture embodiments may generate FP or TR-FRET signal properties that are a function of the inherent binding interactions of both the test compound and the detection analyte with the SAM-utilizing protein. Fluorescent detection analytes comprise a fluorophore moiety, a covalent linker moiety, and a SAM-utilizing protein ligand moiety and could be utilized in FP or TR-FRET assays to measure test compound binding.
摘要:
A magnitude and direction, or a measure responsive thereto, of a velocity (V) of a first portion (17) of an atmosphere (20) are determined from at least first and second portions of scattered light (30) generated along a common beam of light (28) within the first portion (17) of the atmosphere (20) and received along linearly independent directions at locations that are relatively remote with respect to one another, at least one of which is relatively remote from a source (11) of the beam of light (28).
摘要:
Preparation and deposition of supercooled, electron-doped, water-cluster clathrate nanoparticles in confined geometries and on substrates from proprietary nanoemulsions is described. The compositions can yield high-Tc superconductors, e.g., in the vicinity of −43 deg C., useful for SQUID devices in electronic and magnetic application. In certain embodiments, the water-cluster clathrates are formed in nanoemulsions.

摘要:
Furniture components, such as office furniture components, that are configured to include electronic components that transfer electrical power to peripheral electronic devices via wireless technologies, including conductive and inductive technologies. The articles of furniture may include grommet devices received within work surfaces, the grommet devices incorporating or housing the electronics of wireless power systems. The articles of furniture may also include the electronics of wireless power systems physically embedded or integrated within work surfaces in a manner in which the continuous surfaces of the work surfaces are maintained, and the work surfaces may optionally further include lighting or other indication features to indicate the locations of the electronics to a user.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for treating of marine growth on the surface, such as the holes of boats and ships.A confinement arrangement is used to confine a volume of heated fluid against the surface. The confinement arrangement is retained against the surface by maintenance and mounts rollers so that it can be moved over the surface to treat other parts of the surface. A heated fluid is provided to the confined volume from an external heater.
