Title: Integrated protective garment ensemble
Inventor: HOWLAND CHARLES A
IPC: F41H5/08
Filed: 2014-03-13
Abstract: A protective garment system fabricated from ballistic textiles having a V50 on 2 grain RCC of at least 300 fps as measured by Mil-Spec 662F provides good ballistic and fragmentary protection, and can be worn in lieu of conventional clothing without discomfort to the wearer. Embodiments overcome prior art ballistic fabric limitations by incorporating novel construction, such as plaiting and/or twill or satin weaving, as well as novel yarn selection, to enable comfortable skin contact, and by applying coatings to improve abrasion resistance, UV resistance, and color acceptance. Embodiments incorporate layers of ballistic fabric in critical areas, either by overlapping protective clothing articles, and/or by incorporating multiple layers of protective fabric into an individual protective garment. Embodiments provide good moisture transport for long term comfort. In certain embodiments, substantially all of the garment's mass is protective, including pockets, lapels, load carriage, and any other "folded" features.

Filed: 2014-10-23
Abstract: A method of targeted mass spectrometric analysis is provided for analyzing trace compounds at sub-ppb level compared to the sample matrix. The sample is chromatographically separated at standard conditions to employ a map of target mass (M) versus retention time (RT). Small mass ions under M(RT) are rejected by a radio-frequency field (mass filter), and the remaining ions are accumulated for pulsed injection into a multi-reflecting TOF MS, either directly from the electron impact ionisation source, or from a linear RF trap or via a heated RF only quadrupole with axial ion trapping. In combination with the electron impact ionisation source, the method provides sub femtogram sensitivity at matrix loads in the microgram range.

Title: Arbiter verification
Inventor: IAIN SINGLETON
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2015-01-16
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of verifying the operation of an arbiter in a hardware design. The arbiter design receives requests over a few clock cycles (including a monitored request) and outputs the requests in priority order. The method starts by generating an arbiter verification system based on an arbitration scheme implemented by the arbiter and handshakes signals of the arbiter. The arbiter verification system is then bound to the hardware design. The arbiter verification system, hardware design and bindings are loaded into a formal verification tool and the operation of the arbiter formally verified, by the verification tool verifying that an assertion defined in the arbiter verification system is true for the hardware design. The arbiter verification system has request in logic to identify, from the handshake signals, requests received by the arbiter in a clock cycle, request out logic to identify, from the handshake signals, requests output by the arbiter in a clock cycle, counter update logic to track a priority of the watched request relative to other pending requests in the arbiter using a counter, the counter updated based on the requests identified as being received by and output from the arbiter in a same clock cycle and a mask identifying a relative priority of requests received by the arbiter in a same clock cycle according to the arbitration scheme, and assertion verification logic to evaluate an assertion that asserts a relationship between the counter and a clock cycle in which the watched request is output from the arbiter.

Title: Mass filter having extended operational lifetime
Inventor: MARTIN GREEN
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2016-05-31
Abstract: A mass filter is disclosed having at least one electrode (42-48) comprising an aperture (43) or recess. Voltages are applied to the electrodes (42-48) of the mass filter such that ions having mass to charge ratios in a desired range are confined by the electrodes and are transmitted along and through the mass filter, whereas ions (47,49) having mass to charge ratios outside of said desired range are unstable and pass into the aperture (43) or recess such that they are filtered out by the mass filter. The aperture (43) or recess reduces or eliminates the number of ions that would otherwise impact the electrode surface facing the ion transmission axis and hence reduces degradation of the ion transmission properties of the mass filter.

The calf rest extension limit may be adjusted to prevent collision with a front vehicle seat 82. A front seat component 84, 86 may be moved prior to extending the calf rest 27. A pinch condition may be monitored.
