    Abstract: An optical fiber which has just been drawn from an optical preform is provided with two external hermetic coatings. The primary coating is a metallic or dielectric coating provided by, for example, using a heterogeneous nucleation thermochemical deposition (HNTD) technique. This technique involves passing the fiber through a reaction zone which contains a gaseous medium that includes a reactant which decomposes, or a mixture of reactants which chemically react, at a predetermined temperature, to form the material of the coating. Such predetermined temperature is available from the heat of the fiber forming process which is retained at the fiber surface by means of a shielding element so that additional heating means is not required. The second coating may be deposited, by for example, using an HNTD or a chemical vapor deposition process. The resulting fiber may then be provided with an additional polymer coating layer.

    Abstract: A metallic material coating is applied to the external surface of a freshly drawn optical fiber while such surface is still pristine by passing the optical fiber through a body of liquid metal-organic material which forms a layer on the fiber, and by subsequently removing all non-metallic components from the layer of metal-organic material by volatilizing the same. The optical fiber with the layer metal-organic material is passed through a baking oven in which at least the layer is heated to a baking temperature at which organic materials present in the metal-organic material are volatilized and the remainder is baked to the fiber. Then, at least the layer is fired in a firing chamber at a higher temperature at which the metal-organic material is decomposed into its volatile non-metallic and non-volatile metallic components, the latter remaining in the layer and the former becoming volatile and leaving the layer. Preferably, at least one layer of synthetic plastic material is applied over the thus obtained metallic layer. When the firing is done in an inert or reducing atomsphere, the metallic material is in its elemental form, while it is in its metal-oxide form when the firing operation is accomplished in an oxidizing atmosphere. Various printing inks and/or resinates may be used as the starting metal-organic materials in the process according to the invention.

    Abstract: A tubular formation of particulate optical material is formed by a layer slurry deposition process which involves spraying layer after layer of slurry containing particles of the optical material onto a rotating rod-shaped bait. The composition of the slurry and particularly the index of refraction of the optical material may be varied from one layer to another or from one group of layers to another to obtain a graded or stepped refraction index profile in the formation, in an optical preform formed therefrom, and ultimately in the fiber drawn from the optical preform. The particles of the slurry are suspended in a liquid vehicle which evaporates in the spray stream or shortly after deposition, and are coated with an organic binder which holds them together in the layer and in the formation, so that the formation is self-supporting. Then, the organic binder is removed and the formation is sintered, followed by a collapse of the sintered tubular formation into the optical preform in the form of a solid rod. Then, optical fiber of the desired optical properties can be drawn from the optical preform. The associated apparatus includes a spray gun aimed at the bait rod, and a receptacle for the slurry from which the slurry is supplied to the spray gun. The bait rod is clamped in chucks and is rotated, while the spray gun moves in the axial direction of the bait rod in a plurality of passes to deposit the formation on the bait rod.

This technique involves passing the fiber through a reaction zone which contains a gaseous medium that includes a reactant which decomposes, or a mixture of reactants which chemically react, at a predetermined temperature to form the material of the coating. The second coating is provided by immersing the fiber in a deposition bath containing a liquid medium which includes at least one reactant capable of deposition onto the primary coating to form a secondary coating. The deposition process may be achieved by applying a current through the medium at a predetermined temperature or by including reactants in the medium which will deposit at predetermined temperatures without applying a current. The resulting fiber may then be provided with an additional polymer coating layer.

    Abstract: A waste heat extraction and capture device located in a stream of waste heat from a cooking appliance extracts heat energy from heated air destined for venting to an ambient exterior. A heat transfer element disposed in a vent hood above the cooking surface recovers heat for recapturing thermal energy that would otherwise be simply expelled. A fluid traveling through the heat transfer element is heated by the passing exhaust stream of waste heat, and can be stored for subsequent use, such as for potable hot water, interior space heating, or other cooking processes. An attachment strap, bracket or mechanism secures the heat transfer element in the vent hood that is typically tapered for effective heat gathering, and is positioned downstream of filters or traps for grease so as to avoid clogging the heat transfer element.

    Abstract: A novel method is described for room heating using stored solar heat. Solar heat is stored in an insulated tank by using scrap and inexpensive heat absorbing or heat storing materials. Stored heat can then be extracted by air circulation for room heating. The temperature of the room air is controlled by a thermostat. When the room temperature drops below the set point on the thermostat, a circulating air pump turns on and extract the solar heat until the room temperature air reaches the desired set temperature. Once room temperature reaches the set point in the thermostat, the air circulation pump turns off.

    Abstract: The house hold appliances, such as refrigerators and freezers are usually turned on all day (24/7) long. They consume electricity throughout day and night. The flow of electricity through these appliances can be controlled for a finite period of time so that the food or other stored products are not going to be spoiled. The consumption of electricity can be reduced significantly by using a programmable timer or time switch. The programmable timer or time switch can be plugged into the wall and the power chord of the refrigerator or freezer can be plugged into the timer. The timer or time switch can be built-in to the appliances. The refrigerator or freezer with a built-in timer will control the flow of electricity by deliberately shutting of the power for a fixed period of time. A significant amount of energy can be saved by using the proposed method of deliberately shutting off the power for a fixed period of time using a timer or time switch which can be built-in to the appliances or they can be individual unit where the appliances can be directly plugged in.

    Abstract: An optical fiber which has just been drawn from an optical preform is provided with an external hermetic coating by using a heterogeneous nucleation thermochemical deposition technique. This technique involves passing the fiber through a reaction zone which contains a gaseous medium that includes a reactant which decomposes, or a mixture of reactants which chemically react, at a predetermined temperature to form the material of the coating. Only the fiber but not the gaseous medium surrounding the same is heated to the predetermined temperature, especially by directing radiation onto the exposed circumferential surface of the fiber, so that the decomposition or the chemical reaction takes place directly on the exposed surface of the fiber rather than in the gaseous medium, accompanied by simultaneous deposition of the coating material on the exposed surface of the fiber. The resulting fiber with hermetic coating can then be provided with an additional polymer coating layer. The apparatus for performing this technique includes a reactor including a transparent wall which circumferentially bounds a reaction chamber constituting the reaction zone, and a heating arrangement including two infrared radiation sources located externally of the transparent wall and each associated with a part-elliptical mirror which reflects the radiation toward the transparent wall and through the same onto the exposed surface of the fiber.
