Abstract: An energy converter unit and X-ray source system are presented. The energy converter unit comprises a multilayered crystal structure having a selected layers' arrangement comprising at least first and second of layers of at least first and second material compositions. The layers-arrangement is formed of a pattern of n1 layers of said first layer type and n2 layers of said second layer type generating a selected lattice periodicity of said layers. The lattice periodicity is selected such that said multilayered crystal structure responds to the charged particle beam of predetermined parameters by coherent emission of X-ray radiation having selected spectral content and emission direction.

Abstract: A weather-resistant socket assembly is adapted to be used with a string light. The weather-resistant socket assembly for a string light, comprises an electrically powered housing having an opening, a chamber extending from the opening, and a ridged wall covering a portion of an internal periphery of the electrically powered housing; and a socket comprising electrical connections adapted to power the socket and a cooperating ridged wall covering a portion of an external periphery of the socket. When the socket is inserted in the chamber of the electrically powered housing, the ridged wall and the cooperating ridged wall come into contact and the contact prevents a rotation of the socket relative to the electrically powered housing. Further described is a solar string light that comprises the weather-resistant socket assembly.

Abstract: This portable air sampling apparatus includes a Venturi pump creating a vacuum in a suction inlet when compressed air circulates therein; a supply line supplying the Venturi pump with compressed air, including an electrovalve that controls circulation of compressed air in the supply line; a suction line to suction an air sample, having an air circulation member delimiting a chamber for removably receiving a substrate for capturing odorous molecules and suitable for circulating the suctioned air sample through the substrate; and an electronic unit, connected to the electrovalve, controlling its opening and closing so when the electrovalve is opened, compressed air circulates in the supply line through the electrovalve, while when the electrovalve is closed, compressed air circulation in the supply line, between upstream and downstream of the electrovalve, is interrupted by the electrovalve. This enables performing reliable inspections, while being practical and easy to use.

Abstract: An exterior light operable with a remote comprises a light panel assembly, a motion detector for detecting movement in an area of the exterior light and a control panel comprising controls for selecting a mode of operation of the exterior light. The exterior light comprises a housing enclosing a battery powering the light panel assembly. Modes of operations of the exterior light comprise a time duration and conditions in which the battery is used to power the exterior light panel assembly upon the motion detector sensing movement. A remote control allows to override the mode of operation from the control panel for a given period.

The latch pull provides easier removal of the fiber optic connector than prior art connector removal mechanisms, thereby enabling high-density fiber optic installations.

Abstract: The end region of an optical fiber cable is removed to expose the coated optical fiber and some of the cable reinforcing non-optical fibers. The coating is removed from the optical fiber which, when covered with glue or the like, is inserted into a hole in a ferrule. The hole is large enough to accept the uncoated fiber but not the coated fiber. Thus the ferrule is pushed onto the fiber until the coating is contacted insuring that no uncoated optical fiber is exposed. The uncoated length of the optical fiber is long enough to extend out the end of the ferrule remote from the cable and is removed flush with the end of the ferrule. The entire assembly, on an optical disconnect type, an end region of the cable, the non-optical fiber, the coated optical fiber extending between the cable and the ferrule and an end region of the ferrule adjacent the cable, are all encapsulated in an optical fiber connector which may be straight or angled at 45.degree. or more in the region between the cable and the ferrule.
