Patent GB-0613900-D0 (GB)
Title: Mass spectrometer
Filed: 2006-07-13
Abstract: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising a first chamber and a second chamber. The second chamber is located downstream of the first chamber and an inter-chamber aperture is provided between the two chambers. An ion guide is located in the first chamber and an ion mobility spectrometer is located in the second chamber. Helium gas is provided to the first chamber. As ions are accelerated towards the ion mobility spectrometer from a relatively low pressure region they pass initially into the first chamber. The helium gas provided in the first chamber minimizes ion fragmentation and ion discrimination effects as ions are accelerated into a relatively high pressure region. The ions are then transmitted by the ion guide and are subsequently transmitted to the ion mobility spectrometer located in the second chamber.

Patent GB-9008095-D0 (GB)
Title: An ohmic heater
IPC: F24H1/10
Filed: 1990-04-10
Abstract: An ohmic heater comprises at least two electrodes 1 contained within a vessel 2 such that the electrodes lie along the length of the vessel 2. The vessel 2 has inlet and outlet ports 4 and 12 in the top and bottom through which a fluid to be heated flows, passing through the vessel 2 along the length of the vessel 2. The electrodes 1 are equally spaced about the axis of the vessel 2 and when in use, are connected to a power supply, such that the total voltage at any point in time at the electrodes is near or at zero. Hence, when in use, a current passes perpendicular to the flow of the fluid, but the electric potential on the axis is near to zero, and hence the leakage current from the ohmic heater is substantially reduced.

Title: Genetic control of plant growth and development
IPC: C12N15/29
Filed: 1996-02-12
Abstract: The GAI gene of Arabidopsis thaliana has been cloned, along with mutant and homologue gene sequences. Expression of such genes in plants affects characteristics of the plants including growth. GAI expression inhibits growth of plants, which inhibition is antagonised by gibberellin (GA). Expression of gai mutants confers a dwarf phenotype which is GA-insensitive. Manipulation of expression of GAI and gai genes in plants results in tall or dwarfed plants. Dwarf plants are useful in particular for reduction in crop losses resulting from lodging.

Inventor: DAWES WARWICK
IPC: H02M/
Filed: 2000-07-06
Abstract: A rectifier connected to a rectifier rail is used to supply a non-prioritized load. A spare battery is connected to a battery rail and via a first switch to the rectifier. In the event of an error occurring in the primary power supply, the first switch is opened in order to disconnect the back-up power from the non-prioritized load. A prioritized load is supplied from the battery rail via a second switch and in the event of an error occurring in the primary power supply, the power supply from the spare battery to the prioritized load is maintained until the second switch is opened so that any further discharging of the spare battery is prevented. A third one-way switch connects the prioritized load to the rectifier rail. The third switch is closed when the primary power supply is returned in order to prevent transience, causing power to be supplied from the rectifier rail to the prioritized load, until the first and second switches are closed when the rectifier voltage corresponds to the spare battery voltage.
