Abstract: An optical apparatus includes a light emitting apparatus and a host apparatus. The light emitting apparatus includes a housing extending in a first direction, a light emitting device mounted in the housing, an optical connector including a first optical connection part provided at one end of the housing, and an electrical connector including a first electrical connection part provided at one end of the housing and receiving a voltage to drive the light emitting device. The host apparatus includes a host optical connector including a second optical connection part which faces the first optical connection part and is optically coupled thereto, a host electrical connector including a second electrical connection part facing the first electrical connection part and being electrically connected to the first electrical connection part, and a host board mounting the host optical connector and the host electrical connector thereon.

Abstract: An optical connector jig for connecting a second optical connector to a first optical connector, or disconnecting the second optical connector from the first optical connector, includes a first housing and a second housing. The first housing includes a positioning portion to determine a position of the jig with respect to the first optical connector in cooperation with a member indicating a position of the first optical connector. The second housing grips the second optical connector such that, when the jig is positioned with respect to the first optical connector, a connection surface of the second optical connector faces a connection surface of the first optical connector. The second housing moves with respect to the first housing such that the connection surface of the gripped second optical connector is close to or away from the connection surface of the first optical connector.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of thermally cracking a heavy petroleum oil by introducing the heavy petroleum oil into a reactor and contacting the heavy petroleum oil thus introduced with a gas, which does not react with the heavy petroleum oil, at a temperature of 400.degree.-2000.degree. C. thereby thermally cracking the heavy petroleum oil. The method uses plural reactors and introduces the heavy petroleum oil into the reactors in a specified manner, and charges the reactor in advance with a specified amount of heavy petroleum oil of a specified temperature.

Abstract: A decoking device suitable for use on a reaction vessel for the thermal cracking of heavy petroleum oils, including an assembly mounted on top of the reaction vessel and having a cylinder and a piston slidably and rotatably received in the cylinder, the cylinder and piston defining a scrubbing liquid chamber which is sealed from the outside. A scrubbing liquid is fed through the scrubbing liquid chamber to a main injection pipe to inject the liquid through a multitude of jet nozzles in the main injection pipe against the inner wall surfaces of the reaction vessel, the main injection pipe being connected to the piston for movement therewith.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of transporting liquid pitch containing lumpy coke wherein the lumpy coke contained in the liquid pitch is pulverized by a specific procedure and the pitch containing the thus pulverized coke is then transported. Disclosure is also made for a specific apparatus used for the method.

Abstract: A yarn wound package formed on a bobbin by a supplied yarn comprising a normal yarn wound portion and a transfer tail wind portion formed on the bobbin at an end portion thereof adjacent to the normal yarn wound portion. The transfer tail wind portion is composed of a plurality of spiral windings wound on the bobbin and a plurality of said spiral windings wound on a bobbin portion adjacent to an end thereof are formed in superimposed condition at at least one portion on the bobbin. An end of the transfer tail wind extending from the above-mentioned superimposed portion is cut. A yarn guide means is pivotally mounted on a member holding the bobbin so as to positively introduce the supplied yarn to the above-mentioned particular portion of the bobbin so as to superimpose the spiral windings when the transfer tail wind is forming.
