Fiber optic cable monitoring system

ABSTRACT The invention provides a monitor for monitoring the condition of fibre optic communication cables. The system employs one or more of the optical fibres of a cable to monitor the cable structure for damage or kinks. By using two separate laser sources and simultaneously monitoring the optical losses at two distinct and separate wavelengths, the loss signature of the monitored fibre is determined, analyzed and related to the mechanical condition of the cable structure. To monitor splice points for moisture, a special optical splice sensor unit detects any penetration of water into the splice and transmits a coded alarm signal over the monitored fibre to the optical receiver. Every splice location is assigned a unique sensor code. The optical splice sensor is driven by moisture detection cell, which forms a single cell water activated battery. Water entering the monitored splice closure wets the tape, which activates the cell. The cell generates sufficient voltage and current to power timing, code generation and modulator circuits in the sensor unit for an extended period of time. The activated circuit drives a modulator which modulates the light travelling down the fibre. The modulated light is monitored at the equipment office and the address of the alarming sensor decoded.

Therapy treatment planning by radiation dose determination

A differential scatter-air ratio calculation procedure is utilized to calculate scatter contribution which when combined with primary radiation yields patient dose. The lengthy polar coordinate integration of the prior art is replaced with a rectangular coordinate integration which to an extent can be performed outside an integration loop. Beam characteristics are entered into a one dimensional matrix BWP. A second matrix RSAR includes the differential scatter air ratio for incremental regions within the patient at a certain depth and radial distance from a scatter calculation point. During a rectangular coordinate integration, a two dimensional coordinate within a patient plane determines an offset into both the one dimensional beam characteristic matrix BWP and the differential scatter-air ratio matrix RSAR. Then values are multiplied to produce a scatter contribution from the incremental region.

Functionality for personalizing search results

A query processing system is described herein for personalizing results for a particular user. The query processing system operates by receiving a query from a particular user u who intends to find results that satisfy the query with respect to a topic T u , the user being characterized by user information θ u . In one implementation, the query processing system then produces a generic topic distribution Pr r (T|q) associated with the query that is germane to a population of generic users, as well as a user-specific query-dependent topic distribution Pr(T u |q,θ u ) for the particular user. The query processing system then produces personalized results for the particular user based on Pr r (T|q) and Pr(T u |q,θ u ). The query processing system can use multiple techniques to produce Pr(T u |q,θ u ), such as, in one approach, a discriminative learning approach.

Fitting and method for filling or evacuating a container

A container having a communication tube extended from it is easily and quickly filled or evacuated through a fitting which is swaged over the tube. Once the container is filled or evacuated, the fitting is swaged over the tube at a second location to seal the tube. The fitting has a barrel which is closed at one end and is further provided with a main bore which opens out of the other end and receives the tube. The mid-portion of the barrel is enlarged and a cross bore opens into the main bore at this enlarged mid-portion. Initially, the portion of the barrel between the enlarged mid-portion and the open end is swaged over the tube. Then the container is filled or evacuated through the cross bore which communicates with the interior or the container through the unswaged portion of the main bore and the tube. Thereafter, the portion of the barrel between the closed end and the enlarged mid-portion is swaged over the tube to seal the end of the tube. Finally, the cross bore is closed to provide seal redundancy.

Method and composition for improving fertility health in female and male animals and humans

In a new supplemental combination, the herb, Vitex agnus-castus (chasteberry), enhances hormone balance by increasing luteinizing hormone (LH) and progesterone release and, therefore, ovulation frequency. The antioxidants, green tea, vitamin E, and selenium, improve overall reproductive health. L-arginine, an amino acid, stimulates the reproductive organs by improving circulation. Folic acid, vitamins B6 and B12, iron, zinc and magnesium help promote women's fertility. For men, a combination of L-carnitine, antioxidants, folic acid, zinc and B vitamins can improve fertility. L-carnitine, an amino acid improves sperm quality and motility. Ferulic acid, an antioxidant found in Dong quai, also improves sperm quality. Sperms are highly susceptible to free radical or oxidative damage from environmental toxicants and natural aging. Vitamins C and E, green tea, and selenium are all potent antioxidants that help improve overall reproductive health. zinc and B vitamins (B6, B 12 and folate) are critical nutrients in male reproductive systems for hormone metabolism sperm formation and motility.

A constant current termination for cable locating tones

A constant current termination is provided for cable locating tones on communication and control cables that may be buried or placed in underground duct structures. The constant current termination limits the current on each branch of the cable to that required for cable location, thus ensuring that branches furthest from the tone source have adequate current for location purposes. The termination is the same for each branch, regardless of its position along the cable system. This eliminates the need to calibrate and recalibrate termination distances for a cable on installation and when branches are added. It also allows the location of damaged cables where the tone signal strength on a damaged brat is less than that for which the termination was designed.
