Abstract: The automatic play adjuster for a motor vehicle parking brake has a lever acting on a pivoting yoke (4) on which one end of a tie rod (2) is articulated. In its external surface the tie rod comprises a stack of truncated projections forming successive stop notches (14). A compensator (7) fastened to the traction cable is able to act on the brake drum or disc and a compression spring (13) supported on an adjustable stop (11,12) is immobilized on the tie rod end (10) opposite the yoke. The compensator is applied against a nut (16) having a stack of internal truncated parts (15). The nut is split in two parts which are assembled together by an annular beading (19) enabling a resilient displacement of the these two parts so as to allow passage of the nut truncated parts onto one or more consecutive stop notches of the tie rod, as a result of a constant pressure force exerted on the nut by the compression spring.

Abstract: The present invention provides a description of the behavior of a model that indicates the sensitivity of the model in subspaces of the input space and which indicates which dimensions of the input data are salient in subspaces of the input space. By implementing this description using a decision tree, the subspaces and their salient dimensions are both described and determined hierarchically. A sensitivity analysis is performed on the model to provide a sensitivity profile of the input space of the model according to sensitivity of outputs of the model to variations in data input to the model. The input space is divided into at least two subspaces according to the sensitivity profile. A sensitivity analysis is performed on the model to provide a sensitivity profile of each of the subspaces according to sensitivity of outputs of the model to variations in data input to the model.

Abstract: A method of and apparatus for analyzing a stream of ions first subjects astream of ions to a first mass analysis step, to select ions having a mass-to-charge ratio in a first desired range; this enables a mass analyzer with highresolution to be used. The selected ions are then passed into a radiofrequency linear ion trap containing a gas. The trapped ions are caused to collide with the gas, either by being injected with a high axial energy or by application of external excitation to cause fragmentation. Fragment ions of a given mass-to-charge ratio can then be isolated and excited to produce fragments of fragments. This process can be repeated to give multiple steps of mass spectrometry, MS<n>. The fragment ions, and undissociated precursorions are then passed out of the linear ion trap and subjected to a further mass analysis step, for example in a time of flight device, to determine the mass spectrum of the ions.
