Abstract: Described is an angle-resolving photoelectron spectrometer comprising an electrostatic lens system having a first end and a second end, and arranged to form a beam of electrons emitted from a measurement area on a sample surface, and to transport the electrons to the second end, wherein the first lens element is configured to be arranged at a positive voltage in relation to the sample. The spectrometer comprises at least a first shielding electrode with a limiting aperture, arranged such that the angle between the optical axis and any point on the limiting aperture is larger than 45° and smaller than 70, and at least one compensation electrode which is arranged around the optical axis at a larger distance from the measurement area than the first lens element. The compensation electrode is configured to be arranged at a negative voltage in relation to the sample.

Abstract: A method for synchronizing measurements in a mobile communication apparatus having a first active radio access means (100) adapted to communicate according to a first radio access technology (RAT) and at least a second passive radio access means (200) adapted to communicate according to a second RAT. A time reference common to the first and the second access means (100) is generated. At least one time schedule is obtained, said schedule indicating at least one time gap wherein the second access means (200) is allowed to be active. The activation time of the schedule is based on the common time reference. An arrangement adapted to generate the common time reference and the time schedule is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for measurement event synchronization of a portable radio communication apparatus providing multiple radio access technologies, wherein an idle gap is identified between transceiver activities of a first radio access technology device, and an execute signal is sent to a second radio access technology device for initiating inter radio access technology measurements of the second radio access technology device, to be performed during the gap.
