Abstract: In a washer for cleaning gases that contain particulate and/or gaseous impurities, the gases are conveyed through an absorption column that is sprayed with washing fluid. An additionally provided jet pump ( 7 ) operates with the washing fluid, wherein said jet pump is arranged in the gas flow serially with the absorption column and generates a negative pressure. The jet pump is preferably arranged in the gas flow upstream of the absorption column. The negative pressure generated in the gas flow by the jet pump should be at least so high that it compensates the pressure loss in the absorption column.

Abstract: A mass spectrometer is disclosed wherein ions from a pulsed ion source 10,11 are dispersed in a drift region 16 so that the ions become separated according to their mass to charge ratios. The ions are then received by an ion guide 1 in which multiple trapping regions are created and wherein the multiple trapping regions are translated along the length of the ion guide 1. The ion guide 1 receives the ions so that all the ions trapped in a particular trapping region have substantially the same or similar mass to charge ratios. The ions are released from the exit of the ion guide 1 and the pusher/puller electrode 14 of an orthogonal acceleration Time of Flight mass analyser is arranged to be energised in synchronisation with the ions emerging from the ion guide 1. The trapping regions may be translated along the ion guide 1 with a velocity which becomes progressively slower and the delay time of the pusher/puller electrode 14 may be progressively increased. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Method and system for performing event detection and object tracking in image streams by installing in field, a set of image acquisition devices, where each device includes a local programmable processor for converting the acquired image stream that consist of one or more images, to a digital format, and a local encoder for generating features from the image stream. These features are parameters that are related to attributes of objects in the image stream. The encoder also transmits a feature stream, whenever the motion features exceed a corresponding threshold. Each image acquisition device is connected to a data network through a corresponding data communication channel. An image processing server that determines the threshold and processes the feature stream is also connected to the data network. Whenever the server receives features from a local encoder through its corresponding data communication channel and the data network, the server provides indications regarding events in the image streams by processing the feature stream and transmitting these indications to an operator.
