Abstract: A method for tracking and reporting traffic activity on a web site first comprises storing a web page on a first server coupled to a network. When the web page is requested from a visitor computer, the visitor computer is selected (or not selected) for inclusion within a sample group, where the sample group is only a subset of the total traffic to the web site. A selection indicator is stored on the visitor computer associated with this selection. Data mining code within the web site is operated or not operated depending upon the value of the selection indicator. The data mining code is operated, and the activity of the visitor computer on the web site consequently tracked only if the visitor computer is selected as a member within the sample group, otherwise the data miring code is not operated and no traffic activity is generated.

Granted: 2008-11-18
Abstract: A leak detecting apparatus is provided that tests for leaks in closed systems such as the air intake system of an internal combustion engine. The system connects to a conventional air supply that provides air under pressure. The air from the air supply is routed through a fluid tank where the air is directed against the fluid thereby generating fog. The fluid is preferably a mineral oil. The fog is routed out of the apparatus and is fed into the system for detecting leaks. Leaks are observed visually when the fog escapes from cracks or fissures in the system being tested. In order to aid in the observation of the fog escaping from the leaks, a light reflective pigment is added to the fluid thereby making the fog easier to observe upon the application of white light to the fog.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mass spectrometry method for analysing mixtures of substances using a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer, whereby said mixtures of substances are ionised prior to analysis. The invention is characterised in that the method comprises the following steps: a) selection of a mass/charge quotient (m/z) of an ion created by ionisation in a first analytical quadrupole (I) of the mass spectrometer; b) fragmentation of the ion selected in step (a) by applying an acceleration voltage in an additional subsequent quadrupole (II), which is filled with a collision gas and acts as a collision chamber; c) selection of a mass/charge quotient of an ion created by the fragmentation process in step (b) in an additional subsequent quadrupole (III), whereby steps (a) to (c) of the method are carried out at least once;  and d) analysis of the mass/charge quotients of all the ions present in the mixture of substances as a result of the ionisation process, whereby the quadrupole (II) is filled with collision gas, but no acceleration voltage is applied during the analysis. Steps (a) to (c) and step (d) can also be carried out in reverse order.
