Inventor: KOEHL ANDREW
IPC: H01J27/02
Filed: 2006-10-02
Abstract: A compact ionization source includes first and second electrodes, each having a plurality of fingers that are interdigitated with each other. The spacing between the first and second electrode, preferably less than 1 mm, creates a large electric field when a potential is applied across the first and second electrodes. The large electric field creates an ionization volume between the fingers of the first and second electrode and ionizes a portion of the molecules occupying the ionization volume. The interdigitated fingers of the first and second electrodes allow for a narrow gap separating the electrodes while presenting a large flow area for ionizing molecules for downstream analysis.

Inventor: PALANKI RAVI
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 2006-10-27
Abstract: Techniques to flexibly support different bandwidths in a wireless communication system are described. The system supports a configurable operating bandwidth using a fixed design bandwidth and variable guard bands.  Values for various parameters such as fast Fourier transform (FFT) size, cyclic prefix length, and sample rate may be selected based on the design bandwidth. The design bandwidth may be associated with K total subcarriers.  Different operating bandwidths may be supported by selecting different numbers of usable subcarriers. A transmitter and a receiver may perform processing for a transmission using the same FFT size, cyclic prefix length, and sample rate regardless of the selected operating bandwidth. The system may use different operating bandwidths and/or different parameter values (e.g., FFT sizes) for different portions of a transmission, e.g., a preamble and a main body of the transmission.

Title: System and method for dispensing controlled amounts of an additive within a carrier
Inventor: GILES DURHAM K
IPC: A01C23/00
Filed: 2008-11-19
Abstract: Here is a system and method for combining an additive with a carrier fluid in a spray nozzle. The carrier fluid is fed to one or more nozzles that include an embedded Venturi. The Venturi includes an induction port connected to an additive supply. As the carrier fluid flows through the nozzle, the flow creates a vacuum or suction force that draws in the additive. Of particular advantage, the concentration of the additive combined with the carrier fluid can be maintained constant even if the flow rate of the carrier fluid varies. The system and process are particularly well suited for spraying fields, such as crop fields or orchards, with an agrochemical.
