20080268141Apparatus for forming a sheath over an elongate member, extruder system and method of manufacturing a fiber optic cable - An apparatus and a method for forming a sheath over an elongate member comprises an extruder that has an output to supply a melt material having a temperature. A heat exchanger connected downstream the output of the extruder removes heat from the melt material in a controlled manner. An elongate member, which may be a cable core, is supplied to a crosshead that is connected downstream the heat exchanger to surround the elongate member with a sheath of the melt material.10-30-2008
20090136188Optical cable and method for production of an optical cable - An optical cable comprises a swelling yarn, around which several optical transmission elements in the form of micromodules are arranged. A micromodule comprises a bundle of optic fibers, which are surrounded by a sleeve made from a material of plastic. Further swelling yarns are arranged around the optical transmission elements. The optical transmission elements and the swelling yarns are surrounded by a sleeve of paper. The paper sleeve is surrounded by a cable jacket made from a material of plastic. When an optic fiber is exposed, the cable jacket is pulled off, whereupon the paper sleeve tears off and can consequently be easily removed.05-28-2009
20100067856Optical Cable with Stranded Micromodules and Apparatus to Manufacture the Optical Cable - An optical cable comprises a plurality of elongate members wherein at least one of the elongate members include at least one optical fiber surrounded by buffer tube. The buffer tube is made of a soft material having a tension at break of less than 7.5 MPa. The elongate members are disposed around a central element. A binder is wrapped around the plurality of elongate members. An outer jacket surrounds the plurality of elongate members.03-18-2010

20100314234METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE POSITIONING OF OPERATING UNITS OF A COAL FILLING CART AT THE FILLING OPENINGS OF A COKE OVEN - The invention relates to a method of positioning service equipment of a coal-charging larry cart at charging ports of a coke oven, wherein a rail-guided larry cart is moved on the roof of a coke oven and is positioned at locations known by a machine control system and corresponding to charging ports in the oven roof in order to charge the oven chambers, and wherein then at least one piece of service equipment of the coal-charging larry cart is guided to the charging ports by horizontal biaxial positioning movements. According to the invention, an optical measurement method is used after each positioning of the larry cart to detect the coordinates of at least one marking that is applied to the oven roof and that has a fixed relationship with the center axis of a charging port within a measurement field that is predefined by the measurement method and to compare them with reference values that are stored in the machine control system for the marking. The deviations between the measured coordinates and the coordinates stored in the machine control system are determined for both axial directions. Differential values are then taken into account as correction values during the positioning movement of the piece of service equipment. The subject matter of the invention is furthermore formed by an apparatus for carrying out the described method.12-16-2010
