Abstract: An impregnated cathode whose initial electron emitting
performance, lifetime property, and insulating property for an electron gun
are excellent and that is suitable for mass production, and a method for
manufacturing the same. In the impregnated cathode, the porosity of the
sintered body of porous metal is continuously increased as the distance in
the depth direction from an electron emitting face is increased. A pellet of
sintered body of metal raw material 1 has pores in it. The pores are filled
with electron emitting material 2. The porosity is continuously increased
as the distance in the depth direction from an electron emitting face is
increased. Thus, since the discontinuity inside the pellet is not formed, a
reaction generating free Ba continuously and smoothly proceeds on the
entire pellet. In addition, since raw material powder having more than one
kind of particle size is not necessary to be used, the manufacturing process
can be simplified. Moreover, various functions such as lifetime property,
etc. can be improved by making the porosity and porosity distribution in a
certain range.

Abstract: Apparatus for synchronizing a reference clock signal
received from a host system with an A/D converter clock
signal generated in a data acquisition pod. The pod
includes a decoder responsive to communication received
from the host for extracting a host reference signal, and
a clock signal source for developing an A/D reference
clock signal having a frequency that is different from
the frequency of the host reference signal. The pod also
includes an A/D converter and a pulse modifying digital
phase-locked loop (PLL). The PLL is responsive to the
A/D reference clock signal and the host reference signal
for developing an A/D clock signal for the A/D converter
in which one of its clock periods is periodically
modified, thereby locking the rate at which the A/D
converter develops samples to the rate at which the host
system requests samples. In a preferred embodiment the
pod also includes a signal detector for detecting a
specified alignment in time of the readiness of the A/D
converter to provide a given sample with a host system
request for that given sample, and upon such detection,
selectively providing an enable signal to the PLL,
thereby enabling operation of the PLL and synchronizing
the host and pod clock rates, as well as locking in a
given alignment the providing to the host of the samples
developed by the A/D converter with the host system
requests for those samples.

Abstract: A method and means for supplying sample liquid to the ion
source of an Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometer (ESIMS) provides
for greater stability of the spray, higher ionization efficiency
and greater analytical sensitivity than is generally achievable
with conventional electrospray ion sources. In particular, the
invention achieves these benefits by using capillarity-driven flow
to extract the liquid to be sprayed from any primary flow of sample
liquid no matter large that primary flow may be. Thus the invention
provides a long sought solution to the problem of obtaining efficient
and effective electrospray ionization of the effluent from a liquid
chromatograph operating at flow rates equal to or greater than one
milliliter per minute. The invention can also enhance the effectiveness
of planar chromatography and planar electrophoresis by simplifying
the ESIMS analysis of tiny amounts of material contained in the
spots on a planar chromatogram or electropherogram.

Abstract: Réseau intelligent dans lequel les commutateurs d'accès aux services (SSP) consultent une table pour des services qui exigent l'utilisation d'un point de commande de services (SCP) et envoient des messages d'interrogation respectifs contenant un champ de type de service. Si un tel service est un service qui peut être traité par un SCP dont le réseau local (pour la communication de ses divers processeurs de données entre eux) est devenu cloisonné en raison, par exemple, d'une défaillance dudit réseau, le SSP écrit une première valeur de type de service dans le champ et si le service est un service qui ne doit absolument pas être traité par un SCP cloisonné, le SSP écrit une seconde valeur. Les messages d'interrogation sont envoyés via des points de transfert de services (STP). Le réseau comporte un moyen de commande de transmission qui possède des premier et second états. Tout SCP qui détecte que son réseau local est devenu cloisonné commande le moyen de commande de transmission afin que ce dernier entre dans le second état. Dans son premier état, le moyen de commande de transmission est transparent à tous les messages quel que soit le contenu du champ de type de service, mais dans le second état, il ne transmet pas les interrogations du second type de service. Dans un mode de réalisation, chaque STP est conçu d'un seul tenant avec un moyen de commande de transmission respectif. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, chaque SCP comporte un ou plusieurs moyens de commande de transmission respectifs placés à la jonction de ses serveurs de signalisation et de la liaison de signalisation provenant du STP.
