Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a cable assembly including an optical fiber cable connectorized at one or both ends. The optical fiber cable of the cable assembly includes a cable jacket having an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface defines a central bore extending along a longitudinal axis of the optical fiber cable, and the outer surface defines an outermost surface of the optical fiber cable. At least one tensile strand is disposed between the inner surface and the outer surface of the cable jacket, and at least one optical element is disposed within the central bore of the cable jacket. Also disclosed herein are a method of preparing a cable assembly by attaching a connector to the optical fiber cable as and a method of preparing the optical fiber cable.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of a solid fragrance concentrate, by absorption of a liquid fragrance or fragrance mixture in a solid or solid mixture, using one or several surfactants and/or co-surfactants, solid at normal temperatures as solid or solid mixture, whereby the liquid fragrance or fragrance mixture is dissolved in the above at a temperature above the solidification temperature of the solid or solid mixture and the solution subsequently solidified by cooling. The solid or solid mixture comprises fatty alcohol(s) or a mixture of fatty alcohol(s) and fatty acid(s) and/or fatty alcohol ethoxylate and/or polyethylene glycol.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a solid odorous substance from at least one odorous substance that is liquid at normal temperature and at least one carrier material (6) that is solid at normal temperature. According to the method, the at least one fine-particle carrier material (6) is exposed to a spray mist (7) of at least one liquid odorous substance in a fluidised bed.
