Title: System for creating, editing, displaying, and executing rules-based programming language rules having action part subsets for both true and false evaluation of the conditional part
Inventor: YAFFE JOHN
IPC: G06F9/06
Filed: 1990-09-04
Abstract: A programmable computer which operates by executing rules, each including a rule name, and optionally: input parameters, a set of conditions, a set of actions associated with each condition, and a set of exception handlers. A condition is a logical expression which evaluates to a true or false boolean value, while an action is an executable statement. An exception handler contains executable statements. The computer includes text entry and display means for programming of rules. A rule is displayed with each condition and each action having a row of text. The computer generates a yes/no quadrant into which a programmer may enter sequence numbers, to associate ordered sets of actions with individual conditions. Sequence numbers may be entered not associated with any condition, to define a set of default actions. Upon entering a rule, the computer sequentially evaluates the rule's conditions. Upon a condition evaluating to true, the computer executes the set of actions associated with that condition, then exits the rule. If the rule contains no conditions or none evaluates to true, the set of default actions will be executed, and the rule exited. If, during execution of the rule, the computer detects an exception event, such as a missing datum or other execution error, the computer passes to the rule the name of the detected exception event. If the rule contains an exception handler bearing the same name, the computer will execute the statements within that exception handler.

Title: Method of monitoring the status of the gas drying system in an ion mobility spectrometer
Inventor: DANYLEWYCH-MAY LUDMILA
IPC: G01N27/64
Filed: 1999-12-03
Abstract: A method is provided for monitoring the concentration of water vapour in an ion mobility spectrometer which measures the drift time of a selected ion, having a tendency to form clusters of water molecules. As these clusters are formed, the drift time of the ion varies, and by monitoring this variation in drift time, a measure of the concentration of water vapour can be made. If this exceeds a certain level, a warning can be given and/or the instrument disabled. Preferably, a comparison is made between two different ions, one having at least a moderate tendency to form clusters with water molecules, and the other having a weak tendency to form such clusters. By comparing the two drift times, a relatively accurate determination of water concentration can be made, and this can automatically allow for variations of drift times due to other causes.
