Abstract:
On demand tracking of applications is provided by a mechanism of the present invention. After a user selects one or more units of execution of interest, a marker is assigned to each target object. Upon invocation of an application, an event is sent to an event handler if at least one target object is executed. The event handler gathers a process identifier and initiates a debugging, tracing or logging of the process on a target system.

A working fluid is contained in the cavity. A first wick structure (220) is spread on an inner surface (201) of the cover. A second wick structure (221) is disposed in the cavity. A third wick structure (110) is spread on an inner surface (101) of the base, and the second wick structure extends between the first wick structure and the third wick structure. A first vapor space (300) is defined in the cavity and surrounds the second wick structure. A second vapor space (400) is defined in the second wick structure and communicated with the first vapor space.
Abstract:
A method for modifying the refractive index of an optical, polymeric material. The method comprises irradiating select regions of the optical, polymeric material with a focused, visible or near-IR laser having a pulse energy from 0.05 nJ to 1000 nJ. The irradiation results in the formation of refractive optical structures, characterized by a change in refractive index, exhibit little or no scattering loss, and exhibit no significant differences in the Raman spectrum with respect to the non-irradiated optical, polymeric material. The method can be used to modify the refractive index of an intraocular lens following the surgical implantation of the intraocular lens in a human eye. The invention is also directed to an optical device comprising refractive optical structures, wherein the refractive structures are characterized by a change in refractive index, exhibit little or no scattering loss, and exhibit no significant differences in the Raman spectrum with respect to the non-irradiated optical, polymeric material.
Abstract:
A method of introducing ions into an ion trap and an ion storage apparatus are described. Introduction means are used to introduce first ions into an ion trap through an entrance aperture to the ion trap. An operating condition of the introduction means is adjusted to cause second ions, of different polarity to the first ions to be introduced into the ion trap through the same entrance aperture.
Abstract:
An interactive user interface (UI) to manage searching of data is disclosed. The UI includes a first display panel configured to display a parent context view and a child context view thereon and a second display panel configured to display a diagram of an enlarged portion of the child context view.
Abstract:
A mass spectrometer has a pulsed ion source, a first ion trap (10) for trapping ions generated by the pulsed ion source and for locating trapped ions for subsequent ejection from the first ion trap. A pulse of cooling gas is introduced into the first ion trap (10) at a peak pressure suitable for enabling the first ion trap (10) to trap ions. A turbomolecular pump (17) reduces the pressure of cooling gas before the trapped ions are ejected from the first ion trap (1) towards a second ion trap (20) for analysis. The pulsed ion source has a sample plate (14) which forms an end wall of the first ion trap (10).
Abstract:
A vapor chamber includes a base (100) for contacting a heat-generating component (500), a cover (200), a first porous capillary sheet (300) located in the base and a second porous capillary sheet (400) located in the cover and facing the first porous capillary sheet. The base comprises a block (130) extending from the base to thermally connect with the cover. The cover is mounted on the base and forms a hermetically sealed container together with the base. The first and second porous capillary sheets together form an enclosure and are contained in the container, and the block extends through the first and second porous capillary sheets and engage therewith.
Abstract:
A miniature liquid cooling device includes a casing (10) having a base (16) attached on a heat-generating electronic component for absorbing heat generated by the electronic component. The casing includes an outer wall (12) mounted on the base and a top cover (15) mounted on the outer wall. A receiving space is enclosed by the casing. A heat-absorbing member (40) is attached on the base and received in the receiving space for exchanging heat with liquid in the casing. An impeller (21) is rotatably mounted in the receiving space and above the heat-absorbing member. When the impeller rotates the liquid is driven to flow into the liquid cooling device via a liquid inlet (122) and then flow through the heat-absorbing member and finally flow out of the liquid cooling device via a liquid outlet (124).
Abstract:
A tandem linear ion trap and time-of-flight mass spectrometer, where the ion trap has a straight central axis orthogonal to the flight path of the mass spectrometer. The ion trap comprises a set of electrodes, (401, 403, 402, 404) at least one of the electrodes has a slit for ejecting ions towards the mass spectrometer; a set of DC voltage supplies (+V, −V, V1, V2) to provide discrete DC levels and a number of fast electronic switches (409) for connecting/disconnecting the DC supplies to at least two of the electrodes; a neutral gas filling the ion trap and a digital controller to provide a switching procedure of ion trapping, manipulation with ions, cooling and including a state at which all ions are ejected from the ion trap towards the mass spectrometer.
