Inventor: BRANDL SEBASTIAN
IPC: D01H4/48
Filed: 2003-12-05
Abstract: In preparation to automatic piecing of the end (E) of yarn (F) from a package (S) to a rotor spinning unit (10), a loop of yarn (G) is formed between assisting roller pairs (20, 21) by reversing rotation and is held pneumatically. At the moment of piecing the lower roller pair (20) releases the yarn and the loop (G) provides a length of yarn that is drawn rapidly into the spinning unit. An independent claim is also included for a piecing arrangement, e.g. an automatic travelling service unit (2) with two pairs of assisting rollers (20, 21) and a storage device (23) located between them. The device (23) is preferably a pneumatic suction tube, but can be mechanical, e.g. a dancer arm, or electro-mechanical. The sequence of roller (20, 21) and suction valve (40) operation is under the control of a computer (3) according to the required process conditions.

Title: Methods and apparatus for reducing artifacts in mass spectrometers
Inventor: LONDRY FRANK
IPC: G01N27/62
Filed: 2003-05-29
Abstract: The invention solves the problem of artifact ghost peaks which can sometimes arise in mass spectrometers that employ a quadrupole rod set for both trapping and mass analyzing the trapped ions. The problem arises as a result of randomly distributed voltage gradients along the length of the rods. Three solutions are presented. The first approach involves improving the conduction characteristics of the rod sets. The second approach involves the application of at least one continuous axial DC field to the trapping quadrupole rod set in order to urge ions towards a pre-determined region of the trap, thereby avoiding voltage gradients. The third approach involves the application of one or more discrete axial fields to create one or more potential barriers along the axial dimension of the trap (in addition to the barriers used to initially trap the ions). These barriers prevent ions of differing voltage gradients from equilibrating with one another.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des grilles de sécheur d'incinérateur à température réglable dotées d'une vapeur à deux phases. Des déchets volumineux très humides qui sont introduits dans un incinérateur sont disposés sur une grille avant de tomber dans la sole de creuset, ce qui élimine les hydrocarbures volatiles et permet le séchage. La grille fournit aussi de l'air de combustion. Le procédé de séchage entraîne une réduction de moins de 50 % du contenu humide de déchets là où se déroule la combustion. La vapeur à deux phases traverse des canaux séparés dans la grille de manière à régler sa température. Le gaz contenant de l'oxygène provenant de la grille jusque dans la chambre à combustion peut contenir des produits gazeux de combustion, ou du gaz de carneau, avec ou sans air afin d'utiliser le contenu chaud et humide du gaz précédent. Lorsque le gaz de carneau contient du chlore, sa température devrait, grâce à l'addition d'air frais, tomber dans une marge comprise entre 400 et 750 °C. Afin d'éviter la corrosion au chlore, des souffleurs qui propulsent le gaz de carneau doivent soit rester entièrement en dehors de l'écoulement de gaz, soit être seulement en contact avec le gaz de carneau après qu'il s'est refroidi et a atteint sa marge de température. En ce qui concerne les déchets particulaires ou déchiquetés, une deuxième grille disposée en quinconce au-dessous de la première termine la durée d'imprégnation suffisante pour que les matériaux sèchent et perdent leurs hydrocarbures volatiles. Un chargeur est introduit dans l'incinérateur afin de pousser les déchets sur la grille et limiter l'épaisseur des déchets de manière que le gaz de la grille puisse pénétrer.

Abstract: A position detection system includes a position pointer and a position detector. The
"blind" area in which a position pointed to by a position pointer is undetectable is minimized.
A transmission coil selector selects one of a plurality of transmission coils. A
signal is generated by a transmission signal generator and supplied to a selected
transmission coil. The selected transmission coil transmits the signal to the position
pointer. A reception sensor coil selector selects a plurality of sensor coils. A position-indicating
signal transmitted from the position pointer is received by each selected sensor
coil, and a position pointed to by the position pointer is calculated from the received
position-indicating signals. The position detection system loop coils are part of a resonant
LC transmission circuit and are excited with a pulsed carrier signal to maximize the
strength of the transmission signal, while dissipating relatively little power.
