Abstract: Disclosed is a fixed support of an anti-toppling frost protection machine, comprising a frost protection machine (1), a connection support (2), an anti-toppling reinforcement seat (3), a base bolt (4), and a base (5). The connection support (2) is composed of an anti-toppling guide cylinder (21), a fixed supporting column (22) and a connecting plate (23). The anti-toppling reinforcement seat (3) is formed by fixing a reinforcement seat bracket (31) and anti-toppling supporting feet (32) through a bolt. The base (5) is formed by fixing base plates (51) through an upper connection ring (52) and a lower connection ring (53). The base bolt (4) is used for fixing the connection support (2) and the base (5). By driving the base plates (51) and the anti-toppling supporting feet (32) into soil, the problems of small-diameter installation deep holes being difficult to dig, low efficiency and high labour intensity are overcome; and the connection support (2) is used so that a non-standard pipe which had to be selected to meet the height requirement of the frost protection machine (1) is replaced with a standard pipe, saving on material costs, and transport and storage are also facilitated. The frost protection machine fixed support is simple in structure and convenient to install and also can be used for pebbled soil; the labour intensity during installation is relieved, the anti-sinking capacity and the anti-inclining capacity of a vertical column of the frost protection machine are improved, and the working reliability of the frost protection machine is improved.

Title: Pulse shaping circuit
Inventor: EIKE JASPER
IPC: H03K5/1252
Filed: 2020-10-08
Abstract: A pulse shaping circuit 1, suitable for use with a mass spectrometer, comprises an input terminal In, an output terminal Out, a flip-flop 10 and a delay unit 20. The flip-flop, which may be a D-type or SR flip-flop, receives pulses from the input terminal, e.g. detector pulses from an analog ion detector. The delay unit, which may comprise a resistor 25 and a capacitor 26 in series, receives output pulses from the flip-flop and feeds delayed output pulses to the reset, or clear, input CLR of the flip-flop; thus, the duration of the output pulses and the minimum duration of the interval between output pulses is determined by the delay unit. The output terminal is suitable for supplying the output pulses, or the delayed output pulses (e.g. Fig.6), to a counter (Fig.2, 154). Additionally, a component having two defined output states, e.g. Schmitt trigger 30, 50, 40, may be connected between the input terminal and flip-flop, the flip-flop and output terminal, and/or the delay unit output and flip-flop reset. A detector pulse processing unit (Fig.2, 153) and a spectrometer (Fig.1, 100), each comprising the pulse shaping circuit, are also provided. The pulse shaping circuit may be used to provide a minimum duration to valid pulses whilst suppressing artefacts such as reflection pulses.
