Abstract: In a mass spectrometer system, ions travel
through an orifice (26) in an inlet plate (28) into a first vacuum
chamber (30) containing AC-only rods (32), and then through an
orifice (34) into a second vacuum chamber (38) containing a standard
quadrupole (40). The second vacuum chamber is held at
low pressure, e.g. .02 millitorr or less, but the product
of the pressure in the first chamber times the length of
the AC-only rods is held above 2.25 X 10 -2  torr cm, preferably
between 6 X 10 -2  and 15 X 10 -2  torr cm, and the
DC voltage between the inlet plate and the AC-only rods
is kept low, e.g. between 1 and 30 volts, preferably
between 1 and 10 volts. This produces a large enhancement
in ion signal, with less focussing aberration and
better sensitivity at high masses, and also allows the
use of smaller, cheaper pumps so the system can be more
easily transportable.

Abstract: Digital television signals comprising a plurality of elementary binary streams, representing respective television programs, are multiplexed into a single, low-capacity transport stream, which also incorporates PSU/SU tables packets, PCR packets and null packets. The transport stream is then modulated and transmitted to a plurality of terrestrial stations, for broadcasting by terrestrial antennas. Before modulation, the packets transporting PSI/SI tables of type PAT, SDT, NIT e EIT are masked by replacing their respective PIDs with respective, predetermined, hiding PID values, chosen among values that are not reserved for satellite reception, and their "priority" bits are set. The resulting transport stream is then re-multiplexed to generate a high-capacity transport stream for transmission. At reception, the packets having unset "priority" bits are marked as null, and the original PIDs in the packets transporting the previously hidden PSI/SI tables (PAT, SDT, NIT e EIT) are restored. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A film dispenser comprises a housing provided with at least one dispensing compartment, and a separating profile section associated with a dispensing opening of the dispensing compartment. A separating device comprising at least one separating knife and a press element is supported such that it is movable along the separating profile section transversely to a slip of film which is drawn from a roll of film disposed in the dispensing compartment. A separating device can also be implemented as a separate component and used together with a dispensing compartment and a suitable separating profile section independently of the film dispenser as an attachment or as an insert component for the film dispenser. In order to improve a film dispenser or a separating device of this kind in such a way that the drawn slip of film can, for the purpose of cutting, be fixed more effectively on the basis of a simple structural design and at a reasonable price, the press element is implemented as a moving strip which is supported such that it is adapted to circulate in said separating device and which causes the slip of film adjacent to the separating knife to remain tensed at least in a linear manner along the direction of displacement of said knife.
