Title: Time-of-flight mass spectrometers with constant flight path length
Inventor: FRANZEN JOCHEN
IPC: H01J49/40
Filed: 1998-08-28
Abstract: A time-of-flight mass spectrometer demonstrates a high constancy of the calibrated mass scale even under changeable ambient temperatures and thermal loads. In the main embodiments of the invention the thermal expansion of spectrometer parts between ion source (3) and ion detector (5) is passively compensated, thus keeping the flight path for the ions at a constant length. Length compensation can be produced by constructing the spacing system from materials of different thermal expansion coefficients, the length changes of which balance out in opposite directions. The long spacer rods (4) are made from a material such as an alloy having a low thermal coefficient of expansion, whilst the short compensation rods (7) are made from a material such as stainless steel having a high thermal coefficient of expansion. In an alternative embodiment, spacers are constructed from materials having very low thermal coefficient of expansion, e.g. glass ceramic materials.
Patent GB-2341475-A (GB)
Title: Method and apparatus for controlling the dispensing of money
Inventor: FLETCHER PAUL ROBERT
IPC: G07F5/24
Filed: 1998-09-09
Abstract: A method for controlling the dispensing of available denominations of monetary units comprises the selection of said units by considering a rate of change value R or a change value C for the number of stored units of at least one denomination, thus giving an indication of how quickly the container(s) tend(s) to fill/deplete. The rate of change R of said stored units may be determined by dividing the difference between the number of coins sent to a particular container and the number of coins dispensed from it in the last vending operation by a pre-selected number of previous vends. Instead of a rate value R, a change value C may be employed, the change value being the sum of a particular denomination of coins inserted minus the number of coins of that denomination dispensed over a preselected number of vends. The R and C may also depend on various factors such as the time of day, weighting factors, the site of the machine, prices or type of products for vending etc. One or more than one container in a vending machine may use this method with the remaining combination(s) of coins being selected by other known methods eg. "least coins". This method aims to reduce the possibility of one or more dispensers becoming empty or dropping below a predetermined minimum level by "evening out" dispensing from each container.

Abstract: The side rail 30 has a generally open C-shaped cross section defined by a vertically extending web 32 with upper and lower flanges 38, 40 that each have a lip 58, 68 which extends from their edges. The upper lip 58 extends from the edge 42 of the upper flange and is folded so that a portion of the upper lip is parallel to and abuts an inwardly facing surface 48 of the upper flange. Similarly, the lower lip 68 extends from the edge 44 of the lower flange and is folded such that a portion of the lower lip 68 is parallel to and abuts an inwardly facing surface 50 of the lower flange. The side rail can be formed with upper and lower lips extending along its entire length or with a plurality of cooperating upper and lower lip segments (108, 110) as shown in Figure 6. As seen in Figure 10, the lips (158, 178) may have vertically extending portions (162, 182) that abut the inwardly facing surface (146, 150) of the web. The upper and lower lips increase the structural strength of the side rail and provide a double gauge of thickness in the region where a cross member (80, Figure 5), positioned between the flanges, may be rivetted to the side rail.

Inventor: MARCUM LORNE
IPC: B23Q39/04
Filed: 1999-07-30
Abstract: An automated consolidation station comprises a first conveyor 12 and a second conveyor 14. The first conveyor 12 is for conveying a computer chassis 16, and the second conveyor 14 is for conveying a tote 18 carrying computer components to be assembled into the chassis, such as floppy drives, hard drives, cables, etc. Both the chassis and the tote have a label attached, which displays a code, such as a bar code.
