Title: Method of manufacture
Inventor: Steven P Lawler
IPC: B23K15/04
Filed: 2016-01-08
Abstract: A method of electron beam welding (EBW) two components together along a joint 28 by moving the electron beam relative to the joint along an oscillating path that traverses the joint. Preferably the wavelength of the oscillating path 44a is greater than the diameter of the instantaneous weld pool 48 formed by the electron beam when it impinges on the components. The electron beam may therefore be moved sequentially along a plurality of oscillating paths 44a, 44b, 44c which are out of phase from one another, each of the oscillating paths extending the length of the joint, so that the entire joint is welded. The oscillating paths are preferably defined by harmonic functions or square waves and may have the same amplitude and wavelength. They may be produced by tilting, i.e. deflecting, the electron beam as it is moved relatively along the joint. Welding is preferably effected in a vacuum chamber surrounding the joint, with an electron beam gun mounted thereto. The method may be applied to the manufacture of pressure vessels for nuclear power plants, i.e. nuclear reactors.

Title: Method for measurement of fragment ion mass spectra with tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometers
Inventor: CLAUS KOSTER
IPC: H01J49/40
Filed: 2016-01-28
Abstract: A method of time-of-flight mass spectrometry comprises acquiring mixed time-of-flight spectra containing signals of fragment ions from more than one parent ion species. The fragment ions are produced on the flight path 14 before the reflector 20 (e.g. post-source decay of metastable ions in MALDI or using a collision cell). A plurality of mixed spectra may be acquired with different instrument parameters (e.g. reflector voltages or accelerating voltages before the flight path). The mixed spectra can be compared to identify signals of fragment ions which originate from the same parent ion species. The time-of-flight of a fragment ion species in the mixed spectra can be used to calculate the mass-to-charge ratios of the fragment ion and associated parent ion. Alternatively, a single mixed time-of-flight spectrum may be acquired and the mass-to-charge ratios of the fragment ion and associated parent ion may be calculated by selected two signals in the isotopic pattern of the fragment ion and determining their times of flight.

IPC: G11B27/02
Filed: 2016-06-03
Abstract: Vocal audio of a user together with performance synchronized video is captured and coordinated with audiovisual contributions of other users to form composite duet-style or glee club-style or window-paned music video-style audiovisual performances. In some cases, the vocal performances of individual users are captured (together with performance synchronized video) on mobile devices, television-type display and/or set-top box equipment in the context of karaoke-style presentations of lyrics in correspondence with audible renderings of a backing track. Contributions of multiple vocalists are coordinated and mixed in a manner that selects for presentation, at any given time along a given performance timeline, performance synchronized video of one or more of the contributors. Selections are in accord with a visual progression that codes a sequence of visual layouts in correspondence with other coded aspects of a performance score such as pitch tracks, backing audio, lyrics, sections and/or vocal parts.
