Title: A method of mass spectrometry
Inventor: MICHAEL MCCULLAGH
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2015-05-29
Abstract: A method of quantitation of compounds of interest within a sample comprises performing a liquid chromatography separation of the sample, passing the liquid chromatography eluant into a mass spectrometer and performing ion mobility analysis and mass spectrometry analysis on the sample. Compounds of interest suspected to be present in the sample which coelute in the liquid chromatography separation and have substantially the same mass are identified. Data corresponding to each of the compounds of interest are identified by ion mobility separation of the compounds, and quantitation is performed on the compounds of interest from the data. The compounds of interest may be isomers, protomers, epimers or conformers. If the compounds of interest are only separated partially by ion mobility, the method may further comprise obtaining fragment mass spectrometry data by repeatedly switching modes of operation and using the intensities of fragment ions relating to the compounds of interest to provide quantitation information.

Title: Interaction of devices in a networked environment
Inventor: JACOBY THWAITES
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2015-06-02
Abstract: A method of autonomic organisation of network nodes is described. A first node is adapted to adopt a node role. The first node communicates with other network nodes over a stateless medium. The first node is provided with a pattern of complementary operations for operation between one node role and another node role. On adopting the node role in the network, the node interacts with a second node over the stateless medium according to the pattern of complementary operations between the node role of the first node and the node role of the second node. This approach may be used in autonomic networking. The first nodes may adopt a node role on self configuration in the network, wherein the first node is provided within a configuration tree, with node roles defined in separate leaves of the configuration tree. A leaf defining a node role defines the pattern of complementary operations between that node role and other node roles, wherein the leaf defines separately orchestrated functions with a central point of control and choreographed functions with no overall point of control. The configuration tree is adapted to operate with a sequencing engine.

Title: Analysis method, analysis program, and analysis device
Inventor: KOICHIRO YAMASHITA
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2014-01-09
Abstract: This invention makes it possible to predict the timing at which a failure will occur in a system (100). This analysis device (101) detects that the number (Nt) of a plurality of nodes (#1 through #N) that malfunctioned during a given period (prd) was 2. Then, on the basis of said period (prd) and the detected number of malfunctioning nodes, the analysis device (101) computes and outputs the number (Nper) of nodes that will be malfunctioning per unit time subsequent to said period (prd). The operator of the system (100) looks at said number (Nper) and determines, for example, whether or not nodes should be added to the system (100). For example, if the number (Nper) of nodes malfunctioning per unit time is greater than a number projected by the operator, the operator determines that nodes should be added to the system (100).
