A smoke/gas exhausting and purifying device comprising a wide area gas sucking means and a gas discharging means disposed at a gas discharging side of the gas sucking means, wherein the gas sucking means is disposed near an unexpected gas-produced position for collecting the same, and the gas discharging means is a high pressure gas discharging means which can suck the unexpected waste gas at high...

The effects of polarization dependent hole burning and/or polarization dependent loss are reduced by modulating the state of polarization (SOP) of an arbitrarily polarized optical signal being launched into the transmission path periodically through a predetermined sequence of polarization states. The sequence of polarization states is selected such that on average the launched modulated signal ex...

In a method for producing a cement for medical use, a liquid component containing a polymerizable substance is combined with a solid component comprising a plastic substance to provide a setting mass to form the cement. In order to e.g. improve the biological and mechanical properties of the cement and allow it to be mixed by modern mixing procedures, which further improves the cement quality, sai...
