Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing laser coherence effect within an optical system are disclosed. A system includes an acoustic device, a signal generator electrically coupled to the acoustic device, where the signal generator generates an electrical signal comprising a predefined frequency and a predefined amplitude for output by the acoustic device, and an optical system comprising a laser light source configured to produce a beam where one or more optical elements are disposed along the beam path that impinges or propagates through the one or more optical elements. The acoustic device is positioned at a distance from the one or more optical elements such that an acoustic signal emitted by the acoustic device causes one or more optical elements to vibrate such that laser coherence effects of the beam are reduced.

Abstract: According to some embodiments a method of assembling an optical system comprises steps of: measuring retardance profiles of a plurality of optical elements, relatively positioning the optical elements in relative orientations that enhance complementarity between the retardance profiles of the optical elements, and securing the combinations of relatively oriented optical elements together, to control or minimize the combined retardance of the stacked optical elements.

Abstract: A method for wireless communications with mobile stations located within a femtocell is described. The method includes registering a femtocell with an IMS core network to receive IMS services for one or more mobile stations located within the femtocell, and separately registering the mobile station with an application server to provide additional services to the mobile station located within the femtocell. The additional services may be CDMA services. Also, registering the femtocell with the IMS core network may include transmitting femtocell registration information that does not include information regarding the mobile station to the IMS core network to request IMS services for the mobile station.

Abstract: A stroller is described that is foldable and includes a tracking adjustment mechanism. The stroller is folded by pivoting the main frame members about one pair of main connecting brackets. Handle height adjustment can be made at the bracket. Some foldable frame cross members are formed of cable, rather than tubing to reduce the weight and folded size of the stroller over stroller having foldable cross members formed of tubing. A stroller having adjustable wheel spacing for tracking and stroller center of gravity adjustment is also described.

Abstract: In a worktable (1) for an in particular medical or dental laboratory, having a work station (7) on the forward region of its tabletop (2), at which a working device (5) is arranged, which is moveable on a guide framework (12, 13, 14) between an in-use position located above the tabletop (2) and a not-in-use position arranged under the table surface (2a), the guide framework has a carrier arm (12) arranged under the tabletop (2) extending approximately horizontally, which arm is mounted in its rear region pivotably on the worktable (1), around pivot axis (17a) extending horizontally and transversely.

Abstract: To fill up the ring-shaped gaps between the tubes and fins of a tube and fin type heat exchanger with a corrosion protective hardenable filler, a unit made up of two closing pieces with filler material between them is pushed by means of the tube to be inserted in the stacked fins through the space formed by the collars of the openings in the fins which are stacked together for assembly into a heat exchanger. On passing this unit through the stacked fins the ring-shaped gaps are filled up with the filler material. The remaining thin film on the collars is also forced into the ring-shaped gaps when the tubes are subsequently expanded. A device for carrying out the process comprises a sleeve with a mandrel which slides inside the sleeve and forms a seal with the sleeve and a piston which likewise slides in the sleeve and forms a seal therewith and which lies ahead of the mandrel forming a space which can be varied in size and which accommodates the filler material.

Abstract: Magazine apparatus for accommodating propellant charges including a flat coilable metal strip having a plurality of holes extending transversely therethrough for accommodating insertion of cartridges. Cartridge holding collars are formed at each of the holes by bulging or plastically deforming the strip in the region of these holes so as to form a clamping seat spaced from the plane of the strip for clampingly engaging cartridges held at the strip. Various preferred embodiments include various cross-sectional configurations of the holding collars. The method of making the magazine apparatus includes forming the collars by a multiple-step bulging process wherein the last bulging steps is formed by the cartridges as they are inserted into position on the strip.
