Inventor: CLARKE DANIEL
IPC: G01B7/06
Filed: 2012-01-06
Abstract: A corrosion sensor for monitoring a conductive fluid conduit 109, such as an oil or gas pipeline. A power supply 121 has a reference mode of operation when it is operable to supply an alternating electric current through the fluid conduit 109 at a high frequency such that the current is confined near the surface of the fluid conduit due to the skin effect. In a sample mode of operation, the power supply 121 is operable to supply an electric current through a full thickness of the fluid conduit. A voltage measurement device 123 is operable to measure the voltage between pairs of electrical contact points so as to obtain reference values of electrical resistance of the fluid conduit when the power supply is in the reference mode of operation and so as to obtain sample values of electrical resistance of the fluid conduit when the power supply is in the sample mode of operation. A processor 125 is operable to modify the sample values of electrical resistance based on the corresponding reference values of electrical resistance so as to compensate for temperature variations and may be further operable to determine a thickness of the fluid conduit 109.

Abstract: A method and system of detecting unauthorised use of content comprises comparing a first information from first electronic content to a second information from second electronic content. The first and second information may be identifying information such as a watermark, fingerprint or other mark/identifier. The content may be audio, video or computer software. If the first and second information do not match, then action such as restricting access to the first and/or second content is implemented; the first and/or second content may also be deleted. Alternatively, if there is a match between the first and second content and they are accessed at the same time, from different devices, or from different locations within a certain time period then restrictive action may again be taken. This is a digital rights management system to enforce copyright protection. If a users device A contains content 111/114 having more than one different identifier 112/115 (indicating more than one users content), then it is assumed that the user has copied content from another user and copyright infringement has taken place.

Title: Improved method of data dependent control
Inventor: GREEN MARTIN RAYMOND
IPC: H01J49/02
Filed: 2014-03-14
Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry comprises obtaining first data at a first time or location and second data at a second subsequent time or location, from which a future trend or rate of change in the data is predicted. An attenuation factor of an attenuation device or the transmission of ions is adjusted in response to the predicted future trend or rate of change in the data so as to maintain operation within the dynamic range of the detector system or prevent detector saturation. For example, the gain of an ion detector, the duty cycle of an ion deflector or a change in the fill time of an ion trap may be adjusted. The invention is applicable to predicting intensity variations with time (e.g. chromatographic applications) as well as predicting intensity variations in space (e.g. MALDI, DESI or LAESI imaging applications).
