An optical fiber cable is provided for undersea applications that include a hollow buffers tube with at least one optical fiber disposed therein. The buffer tube is formed from a plastic material. A water-blockable gel is located in the buffer tube and a series of strength members are configured in a close-packed arrangement around the buffer tube. A metal conductor surrounds the series of strength members and a plastic jacket encapsulating the metal conductor.

A method of repairing a slope-matched cable system that leaves the net chromatic dispersion of the system nominally unchanged comprises removing a portion of the slope-matched cable system that is faulted, either the cable or a repeater, and constructing a replacement cable portion from two N-P cable lengths having negative dispersion fibers and positive dispersion fibers and a P cable length having positive dispersion fibers. The N-P cable lengths are coupled on each side of the P cable length and the replacement cable portion is connected to the slope-matched cable where the faulted cable was removed. The method also accounts for the extra cable that necessarily has to be added during the repair and for the replacement of a faulted repeater. A cable repair can be made in a regular cable section or in a compensation cable section, in which case the replacement cable portion can also include a repair repeater with LBOs to leave the gain shape of the transmission spectrum nominally unchanged and allows for replacement of a gain equalizer if one was removed during the repair. Similarly, when a faulted repeater is removed the replacement portion can include a replacement repeater, as well as a repair repeater, to leave the gain shape of the transmission spectrum nominally unchanged.

A control system for controlling the position of a moveable regulating wheel in a centerless grinding machine, to provide a varying contour to the object being ground. The control system includes sensing means which measures the feed rate at which the object is being fed into the grinding machine. The rate at which the regulating wheel is moved is adjusted based on the feed rate of the object being ground, thus providing a high degree of control over the final shape of the ground object.

Sulfur dioxide is scrubbed from boiler flue gases in a double-loop alkali scrubber, one a quencher loop and the other an absorption loop. The reagent flow of the two loops is isolated so that none of the reagent from the quencher loop is cycled to the absorber loop and a portion of the make-up water for the quencher loop is received from the absorber loop. By controlling recycled water from a dewatering system and selective utilization of high and low solids streams from the absorber system, the quencher slurry concentration may be controlled and the requirement for new make-up water reduced. The two loop process isolates the main absorber system including the demisters, which are prone to scaling and corrosion, from the evaporative quencher portion of the process. All the recycled water is returned to the evaporative quencher loop and none to the loop controlling the demisters and the primary absorber sections. However, under varying SO. sub.

A method for fabricating an optical attenuator includes the following steps. Measuring the magnitude of optical loss imposed on an optical signal transmitted through first and second abutted optical fibers. Aligning the abutted ends of the first and second optical fibers for minimum distributed optical signal loss through both optical fibers, as measured at the far end of the second optical fiber. Heating the abutted ends of the first and second optical fibers into a plastic state. Physically distorting the optical fiber ends until the measured optical signal loss increases by a desired additional lumped optical loss value. Cooling the abutted ends of the first and second optical fibers to form a fusion splice imposing the desired additional lumped optical loss value between the ends of the first and second optical fibers.

A process uses limestone injection into a combustion boiler burning pulverized coal or liquid hydrogen fuel. Effluent gas from the boiler is humidified and cooled to below 200. degree. F. During the humidifying and cooling step, sulfur dioxide removal occurs in addition to that which takes place in the combustion zone of the boiler. The effluent gas and unreacted alkali is then fed into an electron beam irradiation chamber which produces energetic conditions for rapid reaction of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides in the presence of water vapor. The remaining unreacted alkali reacts rapidly and in-situ with the sulfuric acid and nitric acid formed in the electron beam chamber.

A method for reduced temperature operation of flue gas collectors is disclosed wherein the benefits of low temperature operation are made possible by avoidance of the acid dewpoint limit. The process increases the specific collecting area of the collector, results in lower pressure drop through the collector and, where the collector is an electrostatic precipitator, allows improved collection efficiency through higher electric field strength and reduced particulate resistivity.

Some flue gas desulfurization processes applied to fuels containing high chloride concentrations are utilizing, or plan to utilize, by-product gypsum from the process stream. The utilization of such a process results in a calcium chloride buildup in the flue gas desulfurization system from fuels or water resource containing significant chlorides which interferes with the absorption and utilization of the lime or limestone reagent. In this invention, a method is used to convert the calcium chloride to a dry material by utilizing flue gas at elevated temperatures, normally found before an air preheater on steam generators used to produce power or any other conventional large size steam boilers. The monohydrate is produced at temperatures above 350. degree. F. By applying this drying process with a power plant system, energy consumed for this drying operation is very efficient.
