Abstract: A burner for use in the manufacture of quartz glass is provided, which comprises a triple-tube assembly of a center tube for feeding a silane or siloxane compound, an intermediate tube for feeding oxygen, and an outer tube for feeding hydrogen, a first tubular shell surrounding the triple-tube assembly for feeding hydrogen, a plurality of first nozzles disposed within the first tubular shell for feeding oxygen, a second tubular shell surrounding the first tubular shell for feeding hydrogen, and a plurality of second nozzles disposed within the second tubular shell for feeding oxygen. Synthetic quartz glass ingots having high optical homogeneity are produced.

Abstract: A method of controlling a motor-driven let-off motion in a loom including a system for controlling a let-off motion motor includes the steps of sampling a variation of warp tension during each revolution of a main shaft of the loom, effecting at least proportional and integral control modes on the average of sampled values, adding a proportional and integral output to a basic speed signal at a prescribed ratio, and applying a sum signal to the system for controlling the let-off motion motor.
