摘要:
An improved simulator for an analytical instrument that provides the student with an experience similar to that of operating the actual instrument. In one preferred embodiment, the invention combines real functionality and simulated functionality where at least one function of the analytical instrument is real. In another preferred embodiment, the invention combines a functional first instrument along with a simulation of a second instrument, the simulation including both hardware with limited functionality and software that simulates the output of a functional instrument to create a teaching aid for use in classrooms and teaching laboratories.

A system for delivering a drop of liquid to an eye of a subject, wherein the instrument has a receiver to receive a liquid to be delivered to the eye of the subject, a transfer portion to receive the liquid from the receiver to advance a drop of the liquid by gravity and capillary action through a capillary tube to a lower discharge outlet whereat the drop of liquid breaks away and drops from the capillary tube, and a lid retractor supported adjacent to the discharge outlet of the capillary tube, for being pressed against the lower lid of the subject to form a cul-de-sac at the lower lid. The lower discharge outlet of the capillary tube is positioned adjacent to and above the lid retractor in a position to deposit the drop of liquid into the cul-de-sac.

A user interface for operation of a scanning electron microscope device that combines lower magnification reference images and higher magnification images on the same screen to make it easier for a user who is not used to the high magnification of electron microscopes to readily determine where on the sample an image is being obtained and to understand the relationship between that image and the rest of the sample. Additionally, other screens, such as, for example, an archive screen and a settings screen allow the user to compare saved images and adjust the settings of the system, respectively.

A compact electron microscope uses a removable sample holder having walls that form a part of the vacuum region in which the sample resides. By using the removable sample holder to contain the vacuum, the volume of air requiring evacuation before imaging is greatly reduced and the microscope can be evacuated rapidly. In a preferred embodiment, a sliding vacuum seal allows the sample holder to be positioned under the electron column, and the sample holder is first passed under a vacuum buffer to remove air in the sample holder.

A collapsible towing dolly with a rectangular frame for assembly on a driving surface beneath a towed vehicle. Four sides of the rectangular frame cradle a pair of opposing tires on the towed vehicle. The rectangular frame can be adjusted in size to accommodate different towed vehicles. The corners of the rectangular frame flex, so that the frame displaces in parallelogram fashion when pulled around a curve, allowing the towed vehicle to track behind the tow vehicle. The rectangular frame is raised off the driving surface by means of a liftable attachment between the rectangular frame and each of a pair of dolly wheel assemblies. Alternatively, jacks attached to the rectangular frame lift the rectangular frame. The rectangular frame attaches to a standard hitch on the tow vehicle via a tongue assembly removably attached to the rectangular frame.

A UV source is regulated according to one or more purification parameters to produce a desired germicidal effect in a liquid while minimizing wasted power.

A compact electron microscope is robust, simple to operate, and preferably requires no special utilities. Imaging can begin shortly after a sample is inserted. A preferred simplified design includes permanent magnets for focusing, lack a vacuum controller and vacuum gauge, and uses a backscattered electron detector and no secondary electron detector.

Transmissivity is restored to a gallium stained substrate by directing an electron beam to the substrate in the presence of an etching gas. For higher concentrations of implanted gallium, the transparency can be substantially restored without reducing the thickness of the substrate. For lower doses of implanted gallium, the transmission is restored to 100%, although the thickness of the substrate is reduced. The invention is suitable for use in the repair of photolithography masks.
