Patent GB-2463633-A (GB)
Title: MS/MS data processing and mass spectrometer
Inventor: ZUBAREV ROMAN
IPC: H01J49/02
Filed: 2008-05-15
Abstract: A method of identifying precursor ion species from their fragments comprises obtaining mass spectra of a plurality of precursor ion species and their fragments to high mass accuracy. The fragment mass spectrum, obtained from fragmentation of multiple precursor ion species, is then scanned to identify pairs of fragments whose combined mass matches the mass of one of the precursor ion species. Once pairs of fragment ions have been matched to precursor ions, the composite fragment ion spectrum is broken down into portions, one per fragment pair. Analysis continues until no further pairs are identified. A simplified fragment ion spectrum is then reconstructed for each precursor sample ion by stitching together the broken down sections of the composite fragment spectrum. The resultant reconstructed, simplified fragment spectra are sent to a search engine which returns a score - sorted list of likely candidates for each synthetic fragment ion spectrum. A computer program, controller and a mass spectrometer for executing the method are also disclosed.

Title: Improvements in hydraulic speed regulators
IPC: B66B1/04
Filed: 1938-04-02
Abstract: 513,176. Fluid-pressure servomotor-control systems. GARDNER, R. S. April 2, 1938, No. 10151. [Class 135] A hydraulic speed regulator for winding, hoisting, hauling and like engines comprises a pump 1 driven by the engine, ducts 6, 6a, 10 connected to opposite sides of the pump and provided with non-return valves 7, 7a, 9, 9a arranged so that though the direction of fluid is reversed by the pump when the engine is reversed, a positive pressure is always produced in the duct 10 connected to both sides of the pump, a piston and cylinder or like arrangement 11, 12 communicating with the duct 10, and two throttling devices 8, 8c for varying the fluid flow, said devices being operated by two cams 31, 31a driven by the engine and being arranged on opposite sides of the cylinder 11. The throttling devices as shown are formed as needle valves 8, 8a connected by rods 34, to levers 33, 33a having rollers 32, 32a adapted to bear on the cams 31, 31a. The pump 1 is driven through bevel gearing 4, 5 from a shaft 3 which through reduction gears 30, 30a, 30b, 30c drives a shaft 28 carrying two discs 27 on which the respective cams 31, 31a are provided. The discs 27 make somewhat less than one complete revolution for each complete travel of the cage or the like driven by the engine. The piston 12 through a flanged head 13 operates a piston valve 14 which controls the exhaust of fluid from a cylinder containing a weight-loaded piston operatively connected to the engine brake and the steam supply valve. The cams 31, 31a are so arranged that one operates just before the cage reaches the foot of its travel whilst the other operates when the cage is near the top of its travel. The duct 10 is connected with two adjustable exhaust valves 23, 24, one of which, 24, has a discharge cock 25 on its discharge side. The cock 25 is closed when men are descending in the cage so that apart from the throttling devices 8, 8a fluid can only escape through the valve 23. When coal alone is being raised, a higher speed is permissible and the cock 25 and the valve 24 are also opened. The pump pressure on the piston 12 acts in all circumstances to prevent over-speeding, the desired speed being adjustable by means of the valves 23, 24. In the event of overwinding, a pin 35 or 36 on one of the discs 27 engages a roller 37 on a lever 38 pivoted on a bracket 39. The lever 38 raises a spring-loaded trigger 40 supported at its end and the trigger releases the vertical arm 43 of a bell crank from a bifurcated lever 44. The latter then operates on the flanged head 13 and opens the exhaust valve 14 due to the spring 45a. The mechanism is subsequently reset by moving the trigger clear of the bell crank.
