Abstract: A nebulizer assembly (10) particularly well adapted as a liquid chromatograph/mass spectrometer (LC/MS) interface including a pair of nebulizer plates (12,14), a base (16), and a cap (18) for tightly holding the nebulizer plates (12,14) against the base (16). A first nebulizer plate (12) has a centrally located outlet orifice (22) and a radially extending groove (24), and the second plate (14) has a centrally located gas inlet orifice (32) and a radially displaced liquid inlet orifice (34). The gas inlet orifice (32) aligns with the outlet orifice (22) and an aperture (20) provided in the cap (18), and the liquid inlet orifice (34) aligns with a section of the groove (24) provided in the first nebulizer plate (12). When the gas inlet orifice (32) is coupled to a pressurized gas source and the liquid inlet orifice (34) is coupled to a pressurized liquid source, uniform droplets (74) having a diameter of approximately 10 microns can be formed from an outlet orifice (22) twice that diameter.

Filed: 1987-10-19
Abstract: The present invention concerns an apparatus for the mounting of at least one open flat coil on a cilindrical support structure. Generally such coils are used as so called gradient coils in apparatusses for nuclear magnetic resonance. To avoid possible movement of the coils, causing a disturbing sound the open saddle shaped coils are provided with clamping plates (14, 20) in their apertures. Each clamping plate is connected to a pair of strips (15, 21) extending to the outer sides of the coil. The coils are wrapped around the support structure, and their ends are joined. Usually the strips mount two coils located on opposite sides of the support structure. According to a preferred embodiment two layers of coils (5, 6) mutually shifted over 90° are mounted, wherein the strips (15) of the first layer extend over the coils (6) of the second layer, and wherein the clamping plates (14) of the first layer are locked up by the coils (6) of the second layer and wherein the clamping plates (20) of the second layer are locked up by the strips (15) of the first layer.

Abstract: A signal processor and method for efficiently processing signals using ordered redundancy (or) coding in different modes. Signals to e coded are multivalued digital numbers, in which the probable frequency of occurrence of some values is different than for other values. The system codes the highest most frequently occurring values (0's in the usual example) using runlength coding. The runlength encoding is of two types. The first type is utilized when a runlength of consecutive zeros (0's) is followed by the next most frequently occurring value and the other type is utilized when the runlength of consecutive zeros (0's) is followed by some other value.

Abstract: A power supply is proposed for producing a regulated DC voltage from a mains AC voltage, which power supply has a mains transformer (10), a downstream rectifier arrangement (11) and a semiconductor element (13), connected in a DC voltage line leading away from the rectifier arrangement (11), which can be controlled as a function of a predeterminable nominal value (U2) and the actual value of the output DC voltage (Ua). The semiconductor element (13) is exclusively switched between the saturation and blocking state, a control device (16, 17, 19) which switches on the saturation state if the actual value is less than the nominal value and switches on the blocking state in synchronism with the mains AC voltage or the rectified voltage half-cycles derived therefrom, is allocated to the semiconductor element (13). The output DC voltage is applied to a capacitor (18) connected to the output of the power supply. Since the semiconductor element (13) is exclusively in the saturation or blocking state there is practically no power loss, or at least only an extremely small power loss, so that the power supply can be produced cost-effectively and with a small volume. <IMAGE>

The device's active area is thereby maximised and uncontrolled areas minimised.

Abstract: A child resistant dispensing closure (10) of the type having a cap (12) and a spout (14) mounted thereon for rotation about a substantially horizontal axis. The upper surface of the cap (12) is provided with a pattern of ribs. The upper surface of the spout (14) is provided with a plurality of ribs (54, 56, 58), each of which has a distinct energy plane (60, 62, 64). All but one of the energy planes (62, 64) fails to allow sufficient purchase on their respective ribs (56, 58) and fails to produce the proper force vector required in order to initiate rotation of the spout (14) when a manual force is applied to the latter energy planes (62, 64). Only one of the energy planes (60) is adapted so as to allow sufficient purchase and to produce the proper force vector (c) required in order to initiate rotation of the spout (14) when a manual force is applied to said one plane (60). The plurality of ribs (54, 56, 58) provided on the spout (14), in conjunction with the pattern of ribs provided on the cap (12), blend together and serve to distract and confuse a child or other individual of reduced mental capacity, thereby effectively reducing to negligible the probability that the child or other individual would inadvertently discover the sole energy plane (60) capable of realizing rotation of the spout (14) while exploring the dispensing closure (10) with the fingers, fingernails, teeth or other objects. The spout (14) may be mounted on the cap (12) in such a manner as to require relatively little rotational torque for rotation, thereby making the dispensing closure (10) convenient and easy to utilize by adults, even those not possessing normal physical strengths.

Abstract: An aging drive method for a thin film EL panel comprises performing a preparatory step of short-circuit­ing all transparent electrodes by a first connecting line, short-circuiting every other metal electrodes by a second connecting line and short-circuiting the other metal electrodes by a third connecting line, and thereafter repeatedly executing four fields periodically for a specified period of time to thereby cause all picture elements of the panel to luminesce for aging. Each of the four fields comprises a first step of applying a first voltage across the first and second connecting lines and across the first and third connecting lines to charge all the picture elements, and a second step of applying a second voltage across the second and third connecting lines while holding the transparent electrodes in a float­ing state to cause luminescence of the picture elements of the metal electrodes short-circuited by the second or third connecting line with the voltage resulting from the charge on the picture elements stored in the first step and with the second voltage. The four fields are different from one another in the combination of the polarities of the first and second voltages.
