Title: Mass spectrometer apparatus having ion source
Inventor: KATO YOSHIAKI
IPC: G01N30/72
Filed: 2000-09-13
Abstract: An atmospheric pressure ionisation mass spectrometry apparatus has an ion source (7) in which a sample solution from liquid chromatograph (1) is nebulized as fine droplets each having charges at a nebulizer probe (4), and sample ions are emitted into the mass spectrometer (15) at high vacuum part (16) through a aperture (11), an intermediate pressure chamber (12) and aperture (14). The ions are mass-analysed and detected by a detector (18), and mass spectra are provided and processed by a data processing device and controller (19). Gas is supplied to the nebulizer (4) via a stop valve (42). When measurement is finished, the stop valve 42 is closed by the controller (19) and the gas continues to be supplied from the gas cylinder (40) to the nebulizer probe (4) through a by-pass pipe (41). Thereby, it is prevented that the atmospheric pressure ion source (7) obtains a negative pressure, automatically and without intervention by an operator.

Title: Transfer of data in a telecommunications system
Inventor: LYSEJKO MARTIN
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 2000-09-27
Abstract: The present invention provides a telecommunications system and method for connecting to a network and for routing data messages between the network and subscriber terminals of the telecommunications system. The subscriber terminals are connectable to a central terminal of the telecommunications system via a transmission medium, with the telecommunications system providing a number of communication channels arranged to utilise the transmission medium for transmission of data between the central terminal and the subscriber terminals. The telecommunications system comprises a transmitter within the central terminal for sending a data message destined for a particular subscriber terminal over at least one of the communication channels as a number of data blocks. Further, a frame generator is provided within the central terminal for generating a number of frames to represent each data block, each frame having a header portion and a data portion. The header portion is arranged to be transmitted in a fixed format chosen to facilitate reception of the header portion by each subscriber terminal, and is arranged to include a number of control fields for providing information about the data portion. In contrast, the data portion is arranged to be transmitted in a variable format selected based on predetermined criteria relevant to the particular subscriber terminal to which the data portion is destined. This approach provides a particularly flexible and efficient technique for transmitting data within the telecommunications system.
Patent GB-2351929-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to grinding methods and apparatus
Inventor: COVERDALE STEPHEN ROGER
IPC: B24B17/10
Filed: 1997-07-23
Abstract: A method of grinding a workpiece comprises selecting a grinding wheel whose width is not substantially greater than wheel strength considerations require, and which is less than the axial length of the region to be ground providing a work rest or work steady to increase the workpiece stiffness if required, and performing a succession of plunge grinding steps so as to grind the whole of the said axial region. Typically the grinding wheel is an electroplated CBN wheel, and the width of the grinding wheel selected is the narrowest permissible given the desired feed rate and motive power available. A grinding machine comprises a wheelhead having mounted thereon a grinding wheel whose width is not substantially greater than that dictated by structural and strength requirements, programmable indexing means to enable the relative positions of the wheelhead and workpiece to be adjusted in a sequence of steps to achieve a sequence of plunge grinds, which may or may not overlap, to enable a region of the workpiece to be ground, the axial extent of which is greater than the width of the wheel, and wheelfeed means and control means by which the feed rate is controlled, whereby the wheel feed rate is similarly programmable to enable a feed rate to be achieved which is limited only by the peak and RMS power capabilities of the wheel spindle drive motor, so that the rate of material removal is as high as is compatible with the power capabilities of the machine during each plunge, thereby optimising the total cycle time for grinding.

Title: Movement joint
Inventor: DEVLIN SEAMUS MICHAEL
IPC: E04F15/14
Filed: 1999-04-13
Abstract: The joint thereshown has two stainless steel side plates (21, 22) which are rolled from a single strip and are bent double at the bottom of the lower limb (23) of the Y. The plates have rolled in ridges (24) at the top of this limb (23) and diverge above the ridges (24) as upper Y limbs (26). Between the limbs (26) a core is captivated at a relatively hard, necked lower core-portion or rib (31) by the ridges (24). Above these, a relatively softer upper core-portion or strip (32) fills the space between the upper limbs (26), tapering out with them. The core is a co-extrusion of the two portions (31, 32) joined by a neck (33). It is held in place by the ridges (24) being rolled around lower portion (31). This joint is fitted between tiles at a gap of the width of the ridges (24), by driving it between the tiles to compress the divergent upper Y limbs (26).

Title: Strain-inducing conical screw for stimulating bone transplant growth
Inventor: SESIC NENAD
IPC: A61B17/17
Filed: 1998-10-06
Abstract: The invention involves a differential and/or conical screw of a variable increasing pitch which is used for the initial mechanical stimulation of a healthy bone (most commonly the tibial dyaphisis), in order to induce a new internal strain and the consequential biological reaction of the bone. The biological reaction results in the formation of a new, young superficial bone, and the process takes between 4 and 8 weeks. The new bone is used as an autologous bone transplant. The transplantation of this new bone into other parts of the body, where such a procedure is indicated, is a new method referred to as the adaptive periosteal cambiplasty. The process of the implantation of the screws into the bone is controlled with the use of a special moment key, which provides for the induction of a defined and desired stimulation force, and it also provides for the safety of the method.

Title: Determining the oil grade of an actuating fluid
Inventor: CARRELL DARWIN
IPC: F02D41/38
Filed: 2000-12-15
Abstract: Determining a viscosity range of an actuating fluid in a fuel system 102 of an engine comprising at least one hydraulically actuated electronically-controlled injector (HEUI) 104, and a circuit 122 for supplying actuating fluid to each injector. The system includes a fixed or variable displacement pump 106 driven by an engine 108. The method comprises determining the temperature of the actuating fluid using a temperature sensor 124, the pump speed using sensor 118, and a peak pressure or timing event associated with a peak pressure using a pressure sensor 116 located between a pressure control valve 112 and the fuel injectors 104. Signals representative of these measured values are fed to an electronic controller 126 where oil grade of actuating fluid is determined by comparing measured values with look-up tables. The timing event can be the rise time or decay time of the peak pressure.

Patent GB-2381607-A (GB)
Title: Serila-parallel correlator architecture
Inventor: JOHNSON MATTHEW JAMES
IPC: G06F17/15
Filed: 2001-11-01
Abstract: This invention relates to a parallel system architecture for the efficient computation of the time windowed or full correlation function for data series of arbitrary length and form. Data series enter the correlator serially and thus both input sequences may be sampled in real-time. The correlator arrangement enables the required correlation window to be completely formed immediately after the final data samples of the series enter the system. The correlator architecture minimises the system complexity by only calculating the correlation function over the required window allowing arbitrary length data as the input series. The system surpasses hitherto parallel architectures reducing both the complexity and correlation function acquisition time.
