Abstract: A method of, and equipment for gathering fibres entrained a gas stream, for example by melt blowing, comprises an enclosure having an inlet, through which a gas stream carrying entrained fibres may be directed into the enclosure, a fibre outlet from which an assembly of gathered fibres may be withdrawn from the enclosure and an exhaust outlet through which gas may pass out of the enclosure. The enclosure is constructed to provide a pathway for the fibres from the inlet to the fibre outlet in which surplus gas in the gas stream is separated from the entrained fibres and directed to the exhaust outlet, thereby reducing turbulence in the fibres in the enclosure which may affect the quality of the finished assembly.

Abstract: A system for imaging using entangled photons includes an optical source that generates a set of four entangled photons correlated in time, such that detection of any one pair of the four entangled photons indicates that all four of the entangled photons are entangled. The optical source couples a first photon to a first path, a second photon to a second path, a third photon to a third path, and a fourth photon to a fourth path. A first detector detects the first photon of the set of four entangled photons. An object positioned at an object plane produces a modulation of the first photon. A spatial sampler detects the second photon. A second detector detects the third photon. A third detector detects the fourth photon. A first coincidence detector determines a coincidence between a detection of the first photon of the set of four entangled photons and a detection of the third photon of the set of four entangled photons.
