Abstract: A multipole ion guide is configured to improve the transmission efficiency of ions which traverse the length of one ion guide and enter either another multipole ion guide such as a quadrupole mass analyzer or a three dimensional ion trap. The ion transfer multipole ion guide radial dimensions are reduced such that the pole assembly and an appropriately shaped exit lens can be positioned within a portion of the internal space defined by the larger radius second multipole ion guide poles. Ions exiting the first ion guide of reduced size find themselves inside the second ion guide close to the centerline. In this manner ions can be efficiently transferred from one ion guide to another, even for those ions with low kinetic energies. In a second embodiment of the invention, the exit region of a multipole ion guide is configured such that the multipole ion guide poles can be extended into a counterbore of a three dimensional ion trap end cap electrode. With this configuration, ions (including those with low kinetic energies) can be transferred into a three dimensional ion trap with increased trapping efficiency.

Abstract: There are provided a method of producing a pressurized gas-entrapping candy and a pressurized gas-entrapping apparatus to be used for the method. According to the method, the pressurized gas-entrapping candy is produced by preparing a hard candy with a conventional method, crushing the hard candy and sieving to obtain candy particles, attaching a pipe with fine holes in its peripheral wall to a cylindrical vessel through an opening formed in a lid of the cylindrical vessel, filling the candy particles in a space between the cylindrical vessel and the pipe, loading the cylindrical vessel in a long and cylindrical pressure-resistant vessel, feeding heating steam and then cooling water to a jacket portion of the pressure-resistant vessel, while maintaining pressurized state in the pressure-resistant vessel, to carry out heating and cooling treatments of the candy particles in the cylindrical vessel, and then releasing the pressurized state of the pressure-resistant vessel. Since the candy particles do not directly contact with jacket portion of the pressure-resistant vessel, therefore, thermal change in quality does not occur and since the cylindrical vessel fills a function as a cartridge, the pressurized gas-entrapping candy can be produced in substantially continuous manner and in large amount to decrease production cost thereof. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A flow display method enabling the state of flows in a plane to be grasped together with inflow into and outflow from that plane. A Doppler method, for example, is used to obtain a velocity profile at each point in a planar area (100) of interest defined in a three-dimensional flow. A flow rate profile in the planar area (100) is found on the basis of the thus obtained velocity profile. From the flow rate profile and the velocity profile there are determined source points (12) representative of inflow into the planar area (100) and sink points (14) representative of outflow therefrom. Contour lines in the flow rate profile then join the source points (12) and the sink points (14) to obtain a display of planar streamlines (10). <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de transmission de données à haut débit de données dans une pluralité de canaux à faible débit de données. L'ensemble de canaux à faible débit de données subit une rotation de phase avant de subir une sommation et d'être transmis. La valeur de la rotation de phase dépend du nombre de canaux utilisés pour former le canal à haut débit de données. Selon un mode de réalisation qui utilise deux canaux (A, B) à faible débit de données (90, 92), les composantes (94, 96) en phase et en quadrature des deux canaux sont multipliées par un complexe avant conversion-élévation au moyen de sinusoïdes (COS(φCt), SIN(φCt)) en phase et en quadrature. Pour chaque canal à haut débit de données constitué de plus de deux canaux à faible débit de données (90, 92), la composante en phase et en quadrature de chaque canal est convertie et élevée à l'aide d'un ensemble de sinusoïdes (COS(φCt + i/N.180°), SIN(φCt + i/N.180°)) qui sont déphasées les unes par rapport aux autres.

Abstract: A rigid pallet base has a rigid frame provided with rigid supports within which frame there are pivoted rigid flaps also provided with rigid supports. The flaps are held closed during loading by contact between the ground and the supports on the flaps. The flaps are maintained closed during transport to a required location by an upward force exerted by conventional lift forks inserted between the inner and outer supports. By resting the supports on the frame upon suitably spaced-apart members at the required location and then removing the lift forks, the flaps are allowed to open without manual intervention for gravity discharge of the material. After discharge, replacing the lift forks and lifting the pallet base closes the flaps to return the base to its load-carrying condition also without manual intervention. Two flaps can be employed, or two co-operating pairs of flaps can be arranged to form a funnel-shaped discharge chute.

Abstract: Tubular knitted fabric, with an elastomer and natural fiber content, is relaxed while spread out into a tube. It is heated below the softening temp. of the elastomer and moved through at an initial speed. It is then fixed longitudinally and laterally at a different speed at a temp. which softens the elastomer fibers. The fabric is cooled at a temp. below the softening point of the elastomer. The speed of fabric movement during fixing is faster than the first speed. The fabric is fixed with simultaneous stretching of the material across the dia. and along its length within a thermal fixing chamber using a circular spreader. The fabric is drawn out of the chamber at the second speed level by a rotating roller assembly. The relaxation temp. is 80-110 degrees C. The thermal fixing temperature is ≥ 200 degrees C while the material is moved at a speed of ≥ 18 m/min. The fixing temp. is ≤ 200 degrees C at a fabric movement speed of ≤ 18 m/min. The heat is delivered by a high temperature medium, and the cooling is through a low temperature medium. The heating during relaxation is preferably through high temperature steam. The fabric, held out by a circular spreader, is at least affected for its length during the relaxation phase. The circular spreader is within the relaxation and/or thermal fixing chamber. The fabric length is affected by rotating roller assemblies upstream and downstream of the circular spreader. The speeds of the roller assemblies are set independently of each other. An Independent claim is included for an assembly with a relaxation chamber (7) fitted with an inlet (6) and outlet (13) opening, and a heater (12). The circular spreader (9) in the relaxation chamber (7) is flanked by upstream and downstream rotating roller units (5,15). A thermal fixing chamber (18), separated from the relaxation chamber (7), has an inlet (21) and outlet (22) opening and has a circular spreader (19) occupying most of it, flanked by upstream and downstream rotating roller assemblies (16,35). A heating unit (24) generates a high temp. medium, to be blown into the chamber (18) by a fan (28). A cooling chamber is after the outlet opening (22), with the circular spreader (19) extending at least partially into the cooling chamber.

Abstract: The present invention, generally speaking, provides an RF modulator that allows precise, stable phase shifts to be obtained. The modulator uses a PLL structure including an auxiliary feedforward path used to inject a baseband modulation signal into the PLL at a point past a loop filter of the PLL. A phase demodulator recovers phase information from the output signal of the PLL. The recovered phase information is compared to the phase information of the baseband modulation signal. A resulting error signal is used to control injection of the baseband modulation signal into the PLL, to automatically achieve the correct "dosage." A precise, adaptive, phase-stable modulator results. The adaptation of the modulator compensates for variability of the VCO and other components of the PLL.
