Title: Unknown identification using theroretical collision cross section
Inventor: GREEN MARTIN
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2015-03-10
Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry comprises measuring 1 a first ion mobility (IMS) value, collision cross sections or interaction cross section, and measuring 1 the mass or mass to charge ratios (m/z), of an analyte ion. A first list is generated 4 of possible candidate compounds which correspond to said measured m/z. Second ion mobility/cross section values are calculated 5 for at least some of the candidate compounds in the first list. Then, a second, reduced list of possible candidate compounds is generated 6 by removing and/or reducing an associated likelihood value of candidates with calculated mobility/cross section values that are more different to the measured value than a threshold. The method may be applied to two sets of analyte ions generated under two sets of experimental conditions.

Title: Jacketed autoclave low surface energy coating
Inventor: MARK D'SOUZA-MATHEW
IPC: C09D163/00
Filed: 2015-04-02
Abstract: A low energy coating composition for use in jacketed autoclaves comprises fluoropolymer granules, a curing agent and a thermosetting liquid epoxy resin. The composition may be prepared by dispersing the fluoropolymer in a solvent, adding the curing agent and mixing, the solvent is removed by heating and the resulting fluoropolymer and curing agent are added to the liquid epoxy resin with stirring. The coating may be applied to the substrate surface of an autoclave and cured at 90°C for between 4 and 16 hours. The substrate may be preheated to the required temperature prior to the application of the coating. Preferred components are PTFE for the fluoropolymer (MW 30005/mol, mean diameter 4µm), IPA for the solvent, triethylene tetra amine (TETA) for the curing agent, and a liquid epoxy resin derived from unfilled bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin. Use of the coating substantially reduces the fouling of the interior walls through wax deposits.

Title: Tiling a primitive in a graphics processing system
Inventor: XILE YANG
IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 2015-04-22
Abstract: Tiling a primitive 904 in a graphics processing system to determine which of a plurality of tiles 902 of a rendering space the primitive (e.g. a triangle or polygon) intersects or overlaps with. The tiling involves testing tiles in a subset of tiles to determine whether they overlap, cover or intersect the primitive. Tiles in regions bounded by tested tiles are determined to overlap with primitive based on the test results of the tested tiles. Preferably the test may involve using an edge equation to determine whether certain points of the tile are inside or outside the primitive. A bounding box around the primitive may also be determined such that tiling tests are only conducted for tiles intersecting the bounding box. Preferably the subset of tiles to be tested comprises tiles spaced at regular intervals (more preferably one tested tile in each 2-by-2 block of tiles) and may contain the four corner tiles of the bounding box. The tests may be performed on a sparse subset, and then optionally continued on a finer subset based on the test results. Further independent claims are for tiling primitives by identifying tiles which contain the vertices of the primitive as tiles which overlap the primitive.
