Patent GB-2323965-A (GB)
Title: A method of comparative analysis using an ion trap mass spectrometer
Inventor: SCHUBERT MICHAEL
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 1998-03-05
Abstract: The invention relates to analytic methods, the accuracy of which is increased by relating signals of analyte ions to those of reference ions, or by relating ion signals from measuring methods under special conditions to those of reference methods. If such comparative analysis procedures are performed in ion trap mass spectrometers, problems arise with the low dynamic measuring range covered by one spectrum in such mass spectrometers and, if different spectra are compared, with the control of the space charge within the ion trap. The invention consists in acquiring analyte spectra and reference spectra in different acquisition procedures, alternating between both types of spectrum acquisitions as fast as possible, whereby control of the space charge in the ion trap proceeds separately for the spectra of both types. A similar procedure can be set up, if measuring results of two different sets of measurement conditions have to be compared. The control variable for the space charge control is derived by extrapolation e.g. of filling rates from the last respective individual spectra scanned under the same conditions. Due to this, fast interchanging of individual spectra, time-saving control of the space charge is achieved on the one hand, and a large dynamic measurement range is available on the other.

The outlet is controlled to open wider by a control contour formed on piston 53 which preferably is in the form of three truncated cones 61, 62, 63.
Patent GB-2338006-A (GB)
Title: Consolidation of sedimentary beds
Inventor: SILLS GILLIANE CHRISTINE
IPC: E02D3/10
Filed: 1998-06-02
Abstract: A water-containing sedimentary bed 1 is consolidated by adding a layer 3 on the top of the bed 1 and by pumping or draining the water from below. Layer 3 can be a sheet of non-woven textile, woven textile, plastic or geotextile, having a permeability which is low by comparison with that of the sediment bed 1. A considerable part of the head loss that occurs between the bottom of overlying water 5 and the base of the sediment bed 1 will occur through the low permeability layer 3. Thus, at the surface of the sediment 1, the pore water pressure u w  will be considerably less than hydrostatic, and the effective stress considerably greater than zero. The bed surface will therefore consolidate and the effective stress gradient through the bed will be reduced.
