Title: Method of increasing the dynamic range of a time of flight mass spectrometer
Inventor: THER OLIVER R
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2011-02-21
Abstract: The invention relates to time-of-flight mass spectrometers in which individual time-of-flight spectra are measured by detection systems with limited dynamic measurement range and are summed to give a sum spectrum. The invention proposes a method to increase the dynamic range of measurement of the spectrum. To achieve this, those ions signals whose measured values display saturation of the analogue-to-digital converter are replaced by correction values, particularly if several successive measured values are in saturation. The correction values are obtained from the width of the signals, preferably simply from the number of measured values in saturation.

Title: Disc shaped insert for venting container during pouring
Inventor: RATHMILL KEITH
IPC: B65D47/04
Filed: 2011-05-14
Abstract: An elastic disc G has multiple regions cut from it. The disc holds its position in and seals with the neck of a container H by its own elasticity, and air can flow into the container through at least one of the regions E while the liquid contents of the container can flow out through at least one other region F. Ideally the cutouts are diametrically opposed notched or channels in the discs circumference thought they need merely be apertures through the disc (fig 7). Preferably one of the channels is a segment of the disc, delimited by a chord of the disc. The container may be a jerrycan. An alternative device is a moulded disc held in place in the containers neck by rigid, plastic or compliant peripheral ridges, vanes or legs. It may be tapered to assist insertion.

Title: Equipment and methods for deploying line in a wellbore
Inventor: GAMBIER PHILIPPE
IPC: E21B23/08
Filed: 2010-09-23
Abstract: The invention is related in general to wellbore-telemetry technology. In particular, the invention relates to improved equipment and methods for deploying line in a wellbore. A continuous line (4) is dispensed from two apparatuses (3, 5). One apparatus (3) is attached to a device such as a wiper plug (1) that travels through a tubular body (2) such as casing. The other apparatus (5) is fixed either inside or outside a wellhead (6). As a process fluid (7) is pumped into the tubular body, forcing the first apparatus and the device through the tubular body, line may unfurl from the first apparatus, the second apparatus, or both. In this way, stress on the line during deployment is minimized.

Title: Weapon accessory mounting bracket
Inventor: JONES MARK
IPC: F41G11/00
Filed: 2012-07-05
Abstract: A weapon accessory mounting bracket comprises a main body 1 with a jaw 2, and a clamp block 3 with a jaw 4 facing the jaw 2. The main body 1 and the clamp block 3 may be urged together by rotating a cam lever 7, allowing the bracket to be mounted on a weapon accessory rail such as a Picatinny rail. The jaws 2, 4 are biased towards each other by a resilient member such a coil spring 11. This allows the bracket to be mounted to the rail and prevents it from falling off while the user moves his hand to the cam lever 7 to lock the bracket in place. In an embodiment, the closing bias of spring 11 is countered by an opening bias supplied by two coil springs 8. Unless cammed together, the jaws 2, 4 thus float in a correct, partially open position and are able to receive an accessory rail at any time. The mounting arrangement allows accessories to be attached or detached at speed, under stress, in extreme conditions or with the user encumbered by protective clothing.

Title: Burner Nozzle Reciprocating Scraper Arrangement for Reducing Effluent Gas Deposits
Inventor: SEELEY ANDREW JAMES
IPC: F23D14/50
Filed: 2012-07-27
Abstract: An inlet assembly 16 for a burner has a manifold 18 which has an inlet aperture 19, a coaxially aligned outlet aperture 21, and a nozzle bore 20 extending along a longitudinal axis between the inlet aperture and the outlet aperture for conveying an effluent gas from an inlet pipe 14 coupleable with the inlet aperture to the outlet aperture for delivery to a combustion chamber 12 of the burner. The nozzle bore has a scraper 25 housed within the nozzle bore, and an actuator 28 operates to reciprocate the nozzle bore scraper relative to the nozzle bore. Operation of the scraper helps to prevent clogging of the nozzle bore with deposits or residues which would otherwise impair the operation of the burner by restricting or impairing the flow of the effluent gas into the combustion chamber or by influence the chemistry of the combustion occurring within the burner.

Title: Using a subsystem processor to check security and reliability of a code image
Inventor: CONDORELLI VINCENZO
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2012-09-14
Abstract: A data processor has a main system and a subsystem. The main system has a processor and memory. It may also have two or more programmable hardware devices. The subsystem has a processor and a memory. The main processor executes code images stored in the subsystem memory by copying the active copy of the code image into the processor memory. An active programmable hardware device is programmed using an active copy of a code image from the subsystem memory. When an updated copy of a code image is received by the data processor, the subsystem processor carries out a security and reliability check. It then writes the image into the subsystem memory and marks it as an active copy. The main processor copies the code to the main memory and executes the code. Alternatively, the main processor programs an inactive hardware device with the code and marks it active.

Inventor: ZAIMA NOBUHIKO
IPC: B41J2/47
Filed: 2013-02-08
Abstract: An image forming apparatus 108 for forming an image based on image data, comprising a photosensitive member (201, Fig.2), exposure means (203, Fig.2) for performing a first exposure and a second exposure of the photosensitive member, determination means 103 for determining a type of image to be formed, and control means 103. The control means controls the exposure means to perform the first and second exposure such that a difference in an exposure amount between the first exposure and the second exposure when the determination means determines that the type of the image is a character is greater than a difference in an exposure amount between the first exposure and the second exposure when the determination means determines that the type of the image is a picture. The determination means determines the type of image to be formed from the PDL (Page Description Language). The control means may also determine an exposure count N, where N is an integer not less than 2, and control the exposure means to perform the exposure N times depending on whether the type of image is a picture or a character.

Filed: 2013-05-31
Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for validating data written to logical blocks on a storage subsystem (10, figure 1), including the detection of write errors such as dropped or torn writes. During write operations of data to the logical blocks (30, figure 1) an additional sequence code is written to each logical block by means of a sequence code writer (202, figure 1) , the sequence code remaining constant for each write operation batch, whilst the sequence code is incremented for each new write operation batch (figure 3). Also included is a verification system comprising a data reader (204 figure 1) for reading respective first and second sequence codes (S(n) and S(n+1)) from consecutive first and second logical blocks (L(n) and. L(n+1)) 402,404; included is a validity engine for checking validity by applying the following operations: invalidating the corresponding write operation batch 406 if the first sequence code (S(n)) is less than the second sequence code (S(n+1)) and a block offset (F(n+1)) of the second logical block (L(n+1)) is not equal to zero ; and invalidating 408 the corresponding write operation batch if the first sequence code S(n) is more than the second sequence code S(n+1) and a block offset (F(n)) of the first logical block (L(n)) does not correspond to the number of logical blocks in the corresponding batch write operation for the first logical block (L(n)) 408 ; and an error notifier 410 for notifying an error for each invalidated write operation batch, or determining if there is a torn error present 412. The sequence code may be an eight byte value written into a part of the logical block reserved for application data or metadata. Threads may reserve an area of a logical block prior to obtaining a sequence number.
