Title: Mass spectrometer
Inventor: BATEMAN ROBERT HAROLD
IPC: H01J49/06
Filed: 2004-10-13
Abstract: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising an ion source 4, a field free or drift region 5 and an ion mirror 7 comprising a reflectron. Metastable parent ions which spontaneously fragment by Post Source Decay whilst passing through the field free or drift region 5 are arranged to enter the ion mirror 7 and be reflected by the reflectron towards an ion detector 8 when the reflectron is maintained at a certain voltage VR1. The process is then repeated with the reflectron being maintained at a slightly lower voltage VR1'. Two related sets of time of flight or mass spectral data are obtained for the two different voltage settings of the reflectron. From the two data sets the different times of flight for the same species of fragment ion can be determined. The mass to charge ratio of the parent ion which fragmented to produce the particular species of fragment ion can then be determined from the times of flight of the fragment ions. The process can be repeated again with different voltages VR2, VR2'.....VRN, VRN'. Variation of the potential, electric field strength or gradient of the ion mirror is also possible, as is variation of the potential of the ion source 4 and/or the field free or drift region 5.

Title: Sorting compensated formation densities by magnitudes to obtain an azimuthal sector's density or a tool's standoff in a borehole
Inventor: MICKAEL MEDHAT W
IPC: G01V5/12
Filed: 2002-04-19
Abstract: A method for determining density (or porosity and density) of an earth formation penetrated by a borehole (34, fig. 1) comprising the steps of: providing a tool (14, fig. 1) which is conveyable along the borehole; positioning within the tool a source of radiation 20 and a first gamma ray detector (22, fig. 1) and a second gamma ray detector (24, fig. 1). Plurality of detector responses from said first detector and said second detector is then measured over a time interval (120, fig. 8) at 142. A first apparent formation density from the response of the first detector and a second apparent formation density from the response of the second detector is then determined for each time interval. The first and second apparent formation densities are then combined to obtain an interval compensated formation density for each time interval. The interval compensated formation densities are then sorted by magnitude 144. Interval compensated formation densities of equal magnitude are grouped (figs. 17 and 18) to obtain a segment density measurement for an azimuthal sector. When a further neuron detector is used, borehole compensated formation porosity for the azimuthal sector of the borehole may also be determined by combining the responses of at least one of the first and second gamma ray detectors with the response of the neutron detector. The standoff of the tool may be determined from the responses of the first and second gamma-ray detectors in each time interval.

Inventor: LUNG CHINGYUNG
IPC: F16C33/14
Filed: 2006-01-27
Abstract: A surface cladding manufacturing method of motion pairs system, a method that enables submicron and nano-based tetrafluoroethylene macromolecule particles to be well mixed in NI-P-based composite electrolyte via various proportions and allocation technologies as appropriate, thereby making those particles to be evenly cladded on the surface of sintered parts that is formed by the copper-tin base powder metallurgy through the electrochemistry reaction, based on diverse proportions of nano particles and/or micron-sized particles. Owing to high activations of both superfine particles, the invention enables the complex reaction of superfine particles on the surface of tetrafluoroethylene and copper-tin base component to be directly completed in low temperature. Therefore, the invention enables products that are produced by the technology to possess the characteristics of wear-resisting and high hardness, low friction factor, precision in size, lower manufacturing cost and higher system capacity efficiency.

Title: Hydraulic cylinder
Inventor: IMAMURA KAZUYA
IPC: F15B15/22
Filed: 2006-04-11
Abstract: On an end face of a piston (12), there is installed a pressure receiving plate (29) and there is raised a support member (26). On the support member (26) are movably fitted a disc spring (27), a plate (25), and a plunger (28), in that order from the pressure receiving plate (29) side, and they are prevented from coming out of position by a flange section (26a). When the piston (12) is near an end of its stroke, the plunger (28) enters into an oil path (20b) to provide cushion effect to the piston (12). Further, the gap between the plate (25) in contact with a cylinder bottom (17) and the pressure receiving plate (29) becomes very small, which produces squeezing effect caused by oil escaping from the very small gap. This enables, without having a long cylinder of a hydraulic cylinder, impact force to be sufficiently reduced at a stroke end of the piston and, in addition, noise by the impact force can be reduced.

Title: Nullification of malicious code in received data files by file transformation
Inventor: HARRISON KEITH ALEXANDER
IPC: G06F21/51
Filed: 2007-10-29
Abstract: To nullify any malicious code potentially contained within a data file a transformation engine 1160 randomly selects a transformation from a number of available file transformations each arranged to alter the bit pattern of a file to which it is applied while still enabling manifestation of at least some of the file's semantic content to a user. The selected transformation is then applied to the data file to produce a transformed file. Preferably, the transformation engine 1160 runs in a dedicated virtual machine 1140 of a computing platform 1100. Further preferable features include: the transformation taking place within the client computer or at a remote location; receiving from a user information regarding the use to which he/she intends to put the received file and using this information to form a candidate set of multiple transformations from which the random selection takes place.
