Title: Diketone reactants for charge transfer reactions in mass spectrometers
Inventor: HARTMER RALF
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2012-11-01
Abstract: The invention relates to substances for the production of anions which are suitable for charge transfer reactions in mass spectrometers. Diketones, particularly Î±-diketones and Ï -diketones with a mass     100 Dalton, are proposed as a newly found class of substances which can be used for the production of radical anions for electron transfer dissociations (ETD) with a high yield of fragment ions, and also for the production of non-radical anions for the charge reduction of multiply charged analyte ions by proton transfer reactions (PTR). Examples of suitable diketones include: open chain branched or unbranched alkane Î±-diketones such as 2,3-pentanedione, 3,4-hexanedione, 2,3-hexanedione, 3,4-heptanedione, 2,3-heptanedione, 2,3-octanedione, 2,2,5,5-tetramethylhexane-3,4-dione, or 2,2,7,7-tetramethyloctane-4,5-dione; cyclic Î±-diketones such as 3,5,5-trimethyl-1,2-cyclohexanedione; hex-3-ene-2,5-dione; or camphorquinone. These substances are largely nontoxic and their volatility means that they can be stored in unheated refillable containers outside of the vacuum system.

Title: Electrically operated actuator assembly
Inventor: MENGSTAB EVAN
IPC: E05B47/00
Filed: 2009-03-10
Abstract: An electrically operated actuator assembly comprising: a housing; a motor provided in the housing; a plunger that is movable between an extended and a retracted position, where the plunger has two plunger ramps, each ramp having an apex and a bottom; and a cam that rotates when the motor is energised, where the cam has two cam ramps, each ramp having an apex and a bottom. The plunger cannot rotate relative to the housing. When the plunger is in the retracted position, each plunger ramp mates with a cam ramp, with the apex of a plunger ramp seated against the bottom of a cam ramp. When the motor is energised, the cam rotates causing each plunger ramp to ride up a respective cam ramp which causes the plunger to move from a retracted to an extended position. The cam continues to rotate at least until the bottom of each cam ramp is in registry with the apex of a respective plunger ramp so that the plunger is free to move back to the retracted position.

Title: Identifying channel centre frequency for DWDM power control measurement by using swept filter to detect power variations caused by dithering
Inventor: SONE KYOSUKE
IPC: H04B10/564
Filed: 2012-12-04
Abstract: In dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) distinguishing between adjacent optical channels in the multiplexed signal can be difficult. The invention modulates the frequency of a channel so that it varies over time, dithering (see Figs. 4A,4B). At the receiver a narrow band wavelength tuneable filter is swept across the multiplexed channel and the power levels of the signal passing through the filter are measured (Fig. 5A). As the filter reaches the shoulders of the frequency modulated channel the power level will vary as the dithering causes the channel signal to move into and out of the filter pass band (a,b). A channel centre frequency (c) approximately midway between the frequencies where oscillating power is measured can then be determined and used for the channel power measurement (Fig. 5B). This power measurement may then be used for power control of the optical signal.

Title: Synthetic diamond compound semiconductor substrates
Inventor: MOLLART TIMOTHY PETER
IPC: H01L21/02
Filed: 2012-12-12
Abstract: The warpage of a compound semiconductor carrier substrate whilst growing a silicon carbide interface layer and a diamond layer is minimised by controlling the temperature variation across the wafer during growth to be less than 80oC. Good thermal contact between the carrier substrate and a supporting substrate by ensuring that the contact faces are flat or conformal. The aspect ratio of the carrier wafer defined by a ratio of thickness to width of greater than 0.25/100 is used. The diamond layer can be separated from the carrier substrate to be used as an insulating heat dissipating substrate for III-V microwave amplifier circuits or LEDs.

Title: Resistance determination for temperature control of heated automotive components
Inventor: CZIMMEK PERRY ROBERT
IPC: F02M53/06
Filed: 2013-03-04
Abstract: Electrical resistance of a heater such as a heated fuel injector, is determined for control and monitoring by obtaining a voltage signal 202 proportional to a voltage across the heater (or fuel injector) and obtaining a current signal 214 proportional to an electrical current passing through the heater (or fuel injector). The current signal 214 is modulated to generate a resistance signal 204 proportional to an amount of modulation that makes the current signal 214 approximately equal to the voltage signal 202. The modulation may be pulse-width modulation. The resistance signal 204 may be generated based on a signal that is proportional to the percent duty cycle of the pulse width modulation. A difference of the resistance signal 204 and the voltage signal 202 may be integrated to provide an error signal adapted to cause the modulation to be proportional to an electrical resistance of the heater.

Title: Communicating between applications, running on different nodes, having logic in differing languages
Inventor: ANDREW JAMES RICHARDSON
IPC: G06F9/54
Filed: 2016-03-04
Abstract: Originating application 311 running on originating node 310 communicates with destination application 321 on destination node 320. Applications 311, 321 have application logic in different languages. The originating node encodes (321) blocks of application logic of the originating application into language interface tokens transmitted (313, 323) to the destination node and decoded (322) for execution by the destination application. Encoding comprises: a scanner converting the blocks of application logic into interim tokens or literals; a parser converting the token/literals into language interface tokens. The originating node prepares the language interface tokens as serialised or pseudo code representation of parse trees. The application logic initialises, controls, and monitors the destination node. Based on capability data, an acceleration flag can be set indicating execution by an accelerator without decoding. Flex, GNU Bison and modified Backus-Naur form (BNF) grammar can implement the scanner and the parser. Uses include the Internet of Things (IoT).
