Title: Prior to migrating a guest operating system (OS) from a first to a second server, transmissions to the guest OS are looped back
Inventor: IMAI YUJI
IPC: G06F9/455
Filed: 2009-05-29
Abstract: An administrative manager (10, Fig. 1) connected to a plurality of servers 20, each including a virtual machine environment in which a host OS 30 and a guest OS 40 are operable as virtual OS, performs the following processes. When an operator issues an instruction to migrate the guest OS from a migration source server (alpha) to a migration target server (beta), a connection target server (gamma) connected by a virtual connection (i.e. a tunnel) to the migration source server is specified (S1, Fig. 8 and Fig. 10C). Connection information necessary for a virtual network connection between the connection target server and the migration target server is then acquired (S2, S3 of Fig. 8 and Figs. 10B and 10A). Then, before the guest OS is migrated, in the connection target server, transmission data to the migration guest OS is set to be looped back (S4 of Fig. 8 and Fig. 13A). After the guest OS is migrated, the network setting is made on the migration target server (Fig. 14A and Fig. 15B) and the connection target server (Fig. 14B and Fig. 15A) so as to enable the mutual virtual network connection and the loopback is cancelled. This reduces interruption of service.

Title: Method of avoiding space charge saturation effects in an ion trap
Inventor: GREEN MARTIN RAYMOND
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2009-06-08
Abstract: A mass spectrometer is provided comprising a first ion trap 2 arranged upstream of an analytical second ion trap 5. The charge capacity of the first ion trap 2 is set at a value such that if all the ions stored within the first ion trap 2 up to the charge capacity limit of the first ion trap 2 are then transferred to the second ion trap 5, then the analytical performance of the second ion trap 5 is not substantially degraded due to space charge effects. The charge capacity of the first ion trap 2 may be set by the strength of the potential provided to the end gate electrode of the trap such that when the space charge approaches the maximum columbic forces mean that ions start escaping through the gate and are detected. The detection of these escaping ions allows the transfer of the ions from the first trap 2 to the analytical trap 5. Other means involve the setting of a filling time T, during which if ions are detected as leaking from the first ion trap 2, filling of trap 2 is stopped and the ions stored in the first trap 2 are transferred to analytical trap 5. A further embodiment utilizes a single trap which is filled in a first mode and on detection of the space charge reaching capacity the potentials are varied so that it then function in a second mode as an analytical trap.

[Class 35.] A carbon resistance regulator comprises piles of carbon plates 10 mounted on rods 11 carried by a magnet yoke 12, and compressed by springs 15, 31. When the current in a coil 17 is above a predetermined value, an armature 21 is drawn downwards against a spring 29, and when a clearance 25 is taken up, acts through a plate 14 to relieve the pressure of the springs 15, so that, when the current reaches a higher predetermined value, the pressure on the plates is determined by the springs 31. The yoke 12 has a non-magnetic liner 22 on one of its polepieces 18. In a modification, bar springs are used to give the necessary pressure, and when relieved by energization of the coil, they are, in effect, reduced in length to become stiffer, and compensate for the tendency of the force on the armature to increase as it is moved. Alternatively an auxiliary coil may be provided to obtain this compensation. In a further modification the regulator is in the form of a torque motor operating through cranks, and having an unwound rotor.
