Abstract: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising a quadrupole rod set ion guide or mass filter device. Broadband frequency-signals (13, 14, 15) having a plurality of frequency notches (16a; 16b; 16c) are applied sequentially to the rods of the quadrupole rod set. The notched broadband frequency signals (16a, 16b, 16c) cause undesired ions to be resonantly or parametrically ejected from the ion guide. The resulting ion signals are deconvoluted to provide a mass spectrum.

Title: Hydraulic drive system with neutral drift compensation and temperature compensation for pressure limits
Inventor: ANDERSON RANDY
IPC: B60K6/12
Filed: 2007-05-10
Granted: 2014-07-08
Abstract: A hydraulic drive system (102) for storing and releasing hydraulic fluid includes a high pressure storage device (138), a low pressure storage device (138), and a pump-motor (130) operating at a range of pump-motor speeds for converting between hydraulic energy and mechanical energy. The pump-motor is disposed between the high pressure device and the low pressure device. In normal operation, the hydraulic drive system enters a motoring mode where hydraulic energy is released from the high pressure storage device and converted to mechanical energy using the pump-motor. It also enters a pumping mode where mechanical energy is converted into hydraulic energy. A neutral state exists where hydraulic energy is neither stored nor released from the high pressure storage device. An approach for compensating for temperature changes using varying pressure limits helps to maintain the hydraulic drive system in normal operation, thereby promoting efficiency within the hydraulic drive system. When the pump-motor includes a swash-plate (216) or similar structure, compensating for drift during normal operation helps to promote efficient operation of the hydraulic drive system.

Title: Dynamically quantifying and improving the reliability of distributed data storage systems
Inventor: BACHWANI REKHA
IPC: G06F15/00
Filed: 2009-04-02
Granted: 2014-12-09
Abstract: Data is stored in a distributed data storage system comprising a plurality of disks. When a disk fails, system reliability is restored by executing a set of reconstructions according to a schedule.  System reliability is characterized by a dynamic Normalcy Deviation Score. The schedule for executing the set of reconstructions is determined by a minimum intersection policy.  A set of reconstructions is received and divided into a set of queues rank-ordered by redundancy level ranging from a lowest redundancy level to a highest redundancy level. For reconstructions in each queue, an intersection matrix is calculated. Diskscores for each disk are calculated. The schedule for the set of reconstructions is based at least in part on the intersection matrices, the Normal Deviation Scores, and the diskscores.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for preventing tissue adhesion which comprising a bio-compatible hyaluronic acid and a polymer compound. More specifically, the invention is a composition containing hyaluronic acid which has not been modified by a chemical crosslinking or other chemical modification a method for preparing the same, and a composition for adhesion prevention with superior efficacy.. The composition of the present invention for preventing adhesion exhibits a physical barrier function and a new adhesion prevention function whereby thrombus formation, which is the basis of adhesion, is inhibited. Unlike conventional compositions which simply mixpolymeric substances that function as physical barriers, the present invention performs a more effective role as a physical barrier by undergoing decomposition, absorption and excretion after a certain period inside a human body, does not interfere with healing of scars following surgery, and exhibits superior effects since application to areas of surgery is convenient.
