Title: An electron transfer dissociation cell comprising a plurality of apertured electrodes
Inventor: GREEN MARTIN
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2008-03-26
Abstract: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising: a proton transfer reaction or electron transfer dissociation (ETD) cell 1. Positive analyte ions are fragmented into fragment ions upon colliding with singly charged negative reagent ions with the cell 1. The cell comprises a plurality of ring electrodes 1, preferably at least five, which form a spherical, spheroidal or ellipsoidal trapping volume 4. Ions experience negligible RF heating over the majority of the trapping volume which enables the kinetic energy of the analyte and reagent ions to be reduced to just above thermal temperatures. An electron transfer dissociation cell 1 having an enhanced sensitivity is thereby provided. Fragment ions created within the cell 1 may be cooled and transmitted onwardly to an orthogonal acceleration time of flight mass analyser (see Figure 5) enabling a significant improvement in the resolution of the mass analyser to be obtained.

Title: Release mechanism for downhole tool
Inventor: LYNDE GERALD D
IPC: E21B17/06
Filed: 2005-12-21
Abstract: A release mechanism for a downhole tool is actuated by radial movement of a locking ring member 14. The locking member provides as much as full circumferential support in the locked position and once released can be prevented from re-gripping the previously connected elements. Mating profiles 18 and 20 allow grip between the components. The locking ring 14 is made of segments held against an upper body 10 by bands springs. The mechanism for radial movement for release comprises a sleeve 32 that expands. Shear pins or collets are not used to hold the components together in the preferred embodiment. Internal pressure fluctuations before initiating the release sequence will not cause unwanted release.

Title: Multiple virtual machines sharing a single IP address
Inventor: SHOYKHER MIKHAIL
IPC: H04L45/74
Filed: 2011-09-14
Abstract: A method and apparatus allow multiple virtual machines to share the same IP address on an external network address space. The virtual machines reside on one or more physical host computer systems. A virtual network manager handles network traffic from a physical interface on the host computer and forwards network data to the appropriate virtual machine based on a destination port number. Data packets on the external network each have a destination and source port number. The virtual network manager uses a port range table that associates each virtual machine with a range of destination port numbers for incoming data packets. Each of the virtual machines is assigned a unique destination port range in the port range table and incoming data traffic on the external network is routed to the receiving virtual machines based on the destination port number in the data packet.
