Title: Gate assembly
Filed: 2010-10-21
Abstract: A gate assembly 101 suitable for providing access to a ladder from scaffolding, wherein the assembly comprises a post 102 to which a pair of clamps 105, 106 are attached, each clamp configured to attach to a pole. The assembly includes a gate 103 comprising a frame 201. The gate 103 is attached to the post 102 by a hinge mechanism 104 wherein the gate 103 is moveable between open and closed configurations. A spring mechanism 110, 111 urges the gate 103 into the closed configuration. First and second panels (206, 207 Fig 12) extend across the frame 201. Due to the presence of two panels (serving as toe boards) the invention can be used in either a normal or inverted configuration as required. A further invention relates to a gate assembly characterised by the minimum height of the gate and the way in which the gate extends above the uppermost clamp and below the bottommost clamp by a minimum value.

Title: Mass spectrometers including detector arrays
Filed: 2012-10-31
Abstract: A mass spectrometer is disclosed which is particularly useful in analysing ion beams over a wide range of ion masses. Individual beams of different mass ions are imaged on to an array of slits in a slit array plate 7, the spacing of the slits corresponding to the spacing of the set of ion beams 1 to 6 resulting from magnetically spreading a mixed ion beam. Individual detectors 8, 9, 10, 17, 18 and 19, e.g. Faraday buckets, are associated with each slit. In accordance with the invention, a number of electrostatic analysers 14, 15, 16 are positioned between some or all of the slits in the slit array plate 7 and the associated detector elements. The electrostatic analysers capture stray ions and electrons and accordingly markedly increase the sensitivity of the apparatus.

Abstract: A method for the quantitative measurement of mechanical stability time (MST) of a latex suspension comprises the steps of providing a load force measuring apparatus for automatic quantitative measurement of MST of the suspension; agitating the suspension at sufficient speed so as to cause changes in the physical properties of the suspension; measuring and monitoring the changes in physical properties of the suspension by way of the load force values detected and transmitted to a control means; and automatically calculating the MST of the suspension by normal distribution analysis of the collected load force value data. An apparatus for use in the method comprises a vessel (20) for containing the suspension; an agitator (10), the agitator provided to be submerged in the suspension in use and capable of agitating the suspension at sufficient speed so as to cause changes in the physical properties of the suspension; a rotatable base (30) for holding the vessel, the vessel being removably coupled to said base; and a connector (50) operatively connecting the rotatable base to a sensor (60). The sensor is capable of detecting and transmitting the load force values resulting from agitation of the suspension to a control means. The control means automatically calculates the MST of the suspension by normal distribution analysis of the collected load force value data.

Title: Shuffling digital data
Inventor: IVE JOHN GOODWIN SPENCER
IPC: G11B5/09
Filed: 1982-03-04
Granted: 1987-02-12
Abstract: Blocks of data, each representing niney-six lines of a digital television signal are subjected to horizontal shuffling (3, 4) within each line and then to vertical shuffling (7, 8) within each block. The effect of the vertical shuffling is to displace sample words to different lines so that in the event of errors occurring during recording and reproduction in a video tape recorder (11), valid sample words are available adjacent to any error sample word for the purpose of error concealment. The vertical shuffling does not interfere with vertical parity generation (10) or with the correction of errors (13, 18) after reproduction using the vertical parity words.
