Abstract: The invention relates to methods for enriching monomer content in a cycloalkane oxidation process mixed organic waste stream. In particular, the methods involve combining a biocatalyst with a mixed organic waste stream from a cycloalkane oxidation process, and enzymatically converting dimeric and/or oligomeric components of said waste stream into monomeric components. The methods may enrich the content of diacids, adipic acid, and/or other ?,?-difunctional C6 alkanes in the mixed organic waste stream. Additionally, the treated mixed organic waste streams may have improved burning efficiency.

Abstract: The present invention provides the Fabry-Perot (F-P) sensor compromising housing, measuring probe, longitudinal sling block, and displacement converting device. The optic fiber passes through upside sealing ring and extends into upside through hole with the optic fiber end surface disposed at the bottom; the upside of longitudinal sliding block is disposed with reflecting surface, thus a Fabry-Perot cavity is formed between part of the fiber end surface at the bottom of the fiber and the reflecting surface on the upside of longitudinal sliding block. The displacement converting device will convert the lateral slides of the measuring probe into the slides of the longitudinal sliding block, which thus changes the distance from the reflecting surface to the fiber end surface and changes the Fabry-Perot cavity length. Further, the sliding distance of the measuring probe can be calculated after the variation of the Fabry-Perot cavity length measured in according with the Fabry-Perot principle.

Abstract: The present invention provides a Fabry-Perot sensor for measuring inclination. Wherein the present inclinometer is fixed on a static detected object in application use, the mass block is flexibly connected to the top plate, thus the line between the center of gravity of the mass block and the connecting point on the top plate is perpendicular to the horizontal plane; a Fabry-Perot cavity is formed between the reflecting surface disposed at one end of the mass block and the end of the optic fiber. The detected object will be in a static state after tilting, the line between the center of gravity of the mass block and its connecting point on the top plate is still perpendicular to the level plane and the F-P cavity length will have a variation. Then the change of cavity length can be measured in accordance with the Fabry-Perot principle, thereby the tilting angle of the mass block is able to be further measured. Then the tilting angle is also the inclination of the detected object.
