Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a process for extrusion-molding a graded refractive index plastic optical fiber and an apparatus therefor. SOLUTION: This extrusion molding process has a step of introducing a polymer material for a first core into a first nozzle and a step of introducing a polymer material for a second clad into a second nozzle. At least one polymer material has a dopant having a refractive index for changing the refractive index of the polymer material. The nozzles are concentrically arranged. The first nozzle exists within the second nozzle. When the materials are introduced into a diffusion part 22, the materials simultaneously flow concentrically and the diffusion of the dopant is embodied between the first material and the second material and eventually the graded refractive indices are embodied. The first and second polymer materials move continuously through the diffusion part 22 and flows through an outlet side die and are then drawn out as a fiber.

Abstract: A process for determining at least one dynamic of a vehicle, particularly slip angle, during travel. The process involves optically monitoring, in real time and from the vehicle itself, the movement in one or more camera images of surface features as the vehicle passes over the surface. The direction in which the surface features are moving at any given time indicates the actual direction of vehicle movement with respect to the orientation of the optical monitoring equipment. From this actual direction of movement, in combination with the known orientation of the optical monitoring equipment and the direction in which the vehicle is being steered, it is possible to calculate the slip angle in real time.

Abstract: A continuous extrusion process is provided capable of producing graded index plastic optical fiber at commercially useful speeds, e.g., at least 1 m/sec for 250 mu m outer diameter fiber. Moreover, it is possible to predict the refractive index profile of the fiber, prior to actual fabrication, by performing a finite element analysis using various parameters of the extrusion process. Such prediction allows one to tune the parameters of the process to obtain a desirable outcome, while avoiding the need for substantial trial and error with the extrusion equipment.
