摘要:
A high voltage ion propulsion field is applied across the length of an ion mobility spectrometer that is divided by a barrier wall into a desolvation region and a drift tube. A plume of ions and solvent is electrosprayed into the desolvation region, and ions are propelled from the desolvation region through the drift tube to an ion target. Drift gas flows through the drift tube in the opposite direction to oppose the ion flow. A portal in the barrier wall permits ions to move from the desolvation region into the drift tube, and restricts flow of drift gas from the drift tube into the desolvation region. The resulting drift gas velocity increase effects desolvation without requiring elevated temperature or decreased pressure. An ion gate is located near the portal and an aperture grid is located near the ion target. The drift gas flow rate is varied to change the ionization spectra to alter selectivity.

A method of displaying an image with a display device is provided. The method comprises receiving image data associated with an image, generating a set of three sub-frames using less than all of the image data, and alternating between displaying the set of three sub-frames in first, second, and third positions, wherein the second position is spatially offset from the first position, and wherein the third position is spatially offset from the first and the second positions.

An in-vehicle switch mechanism for guiding a vehicle along a guideway at converging and diverging points of the guide rails in a guided vehicle system includes a support frame; a pivot assembly; a switch arm assembly pivotably mounted at its proximate end to the pivot assembly; a switch wheel rotatably mounted to the switch arm assembly at its distal end; an actuator for moving the switch arm between a deployed position in which the switch wheel engages a guide rail and a stowed position in which the switch wheel is free of the guide rail; and a biasing device interconnected between the support frame and pivot assembly for pre-loading the switch wheel against the guide rail when the switch wheel is deployed as the vehicle approaches the point of divergence; and an in-vehicle switch system which uses such in-vehicle switch mechanisms.
摘要:
A production circuit tuning tool consisting of a cover and a number of feed-through, gold-tipped probes that adjust the performance of an underlying circuit. The probes are positioned in the cover so that they may act as temporary jumpers between the trace wiring and tuning patches on the circuit substrate. The portion of the probe that bridges the patches comprises a slender nonconductive plunger of low dielectric constant material having a gold plated tip. Once the proper combination of jumpers is determined, the tuning tool cover is removed, permanent jumpers are soldered into place and a regular production cover is installed.

A method of displaying an image with a display device is provided. The method comprises receiving first image data for the image where the first image data is associated with a first color space, converting the first image data to second image data associated with a second color space, generating first and second sub-frames using the second image data, and alternating between displaying the first sub-frame in a first position and displaying the second sub-frame in a second position spatially offset from the first position.

摘要:
A display device for displaying an image using a first sub-frame and a second sub-frame is provided. The display device comprises an array having a first plurality of pixels and a second plurality of pixels offset from but overlapping the first plurality of pixels and a control unit. The control unit is configured to cause the array to display the first sub-frame using the first plurality of pixels, and the control unit is configured to cause the array to display the second sub-frame using the second plurality of pixels.
摘要:
Solid freeform fabrication systems, powder supply bins for solid freeform fabrication systems, and methods of solid freeform fabrication are disclosed. One exemplary solid freeform fabrication system includes a powder supply bin, a build bin, a roller, and a print head disposed above the build bin that deposits a binder onto the powder in the build bin in a preselected pattern, the supply bin and/or the build bin translating in a x- and/or y-direction relative to the print head.

A display system for displaying an image includes a modulator configured to produce a light beam that sequentially bears a plurality of color image sub-frames, where each color image sub-frame corresponds to one color in a plurality of colors; display optics configured to display the light beam such that the plurality of color image sub-frames are successively displayed to form the image; and a wobbling device configured to displace the light beam between display of each of the color image sub-frames such that a color image sub-frame corresponding to each color in the plurality of colors is displayed in each of a number of image sub-frame locations.
