Abstract: A PVD method is proposed for coating substrates (10) in a vacuum chamber (20) with at least one anode (30), a cathode (40) and a magnetic field source (42). The cathode (40) can be controlled by the magnetic field source (42) in relation to the direction of the separated material. The method is based on the additional step of effectively turning the magnetic field source before the coating process so that the particles separated from the cathode (40) by the arc can impact on a chamber wall and thus cleaning processes can be carried out in the chamber and at the cathode. It is further proposed that the coating should be carried out successively in relation to the height by moving the magnetic field source (42) upwards and downwards, wherein the magnetic field source (42) is turned relative to the cathode (40) during the upward and downward movement and thus the deposition rate is varied in relation to the height. In the upper region and in the lower region of the deposition process the magnetic field source (42) acquires a direction in which the deposition rate is higher than in the central region. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A Time-Of-Flight mass spectrometer is configured with a pulsing region and electronic controls that generate a potential well for ions in the pulsing region, due to the repelling effect of a high-frequency electric field that is created in the space immediately proximate to a surface, and an additional static electric field that accelerates ions toward the surface. Ions can be constrained and accumulated over time in the potential well prior to acceleration into the Time-Of-Flight tube for mass analysis. Ions can also be directed to collide with the surface with high energy to cause Surface Induced Dissociation (SID) fragmentation, or with low energy to effect collisional cooling, hence, better spatial focusing, prior to mass analysis. The apparatus and method described in the invention result in refined control of ion fragmentation energy and improved Time-Of-Flight mass analysis performance.

Abstract: A fuel cell powered magnetically driven shaft assembly comprises: (a) a stationary fuel cell stack having a hollow core; (b) an electrically conductive sleeve lining the hollow core so as to define a cylindrical passage therethrough; and (c) a shaft extending through the sleeve passage and rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the shaft. The shaft is embedded with one or more magnets configured to produce a magnetic field extending substantially perpendicularly to tat longitudinal axis. Anodes of the fuel cell stack are connected to one end of the sleeve and cathodes are connected to the other end so as to provide a path for conducting electrons through the sleeve constrained in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis. Because the current flows perpendicularly through the magnetic field, an electromagnetic force is produced in a direction which is tangential to the shaft, causing the shaft to rotate about its longitudinal axis.

Abstract: The present invention provides a pattern-unbonded material that has at least two distinct regions. One region has different bond pattern than another region. The different bond pattern provides different, specific functionality or characteristics to the material. In an embodiment, the one region provides an optimal mechanical fastener, hook engagement. The different characteristics include, but are not limited to, opacity, tensile strength or stiffness. The different characteristics are provided by a bond pattern specific to the particular region. The outer regions, in an embodiment, are stronger and appear more substantial by being more opaque than or color-shifted relative to an inner region. The outer regions, in an embodiment, are not directly backed or supported by the garment to which the material is attached. Accordingly, it is important for the outer regions to provide adequate strength, stiffness, color, and opacity absent from the garment backing the outer regions.

Abstract: A method, a system, an apparatus, and a computer program product are presented for fragment caching. After a message is received at a computing device that contains a cache management unit, a fragment in the message body of the message is cached. Subsequent requests for the fragment at the cache management unit result in a cache hit. The cache management unit operates equivalently in support of fragment caching operations without regard to whether the computing device acts as a client, a server, or a hub located throughout the network; in other words, the fragment caching technique is uniform throughout a network. Cache ID rules accompany a fragment from an origin server; the cache ID rules describe a method for forming a unique cache ID for the fragment such that dynamic content can be cached away from an origin server.
