Abstract: A load control device for an electrical load is configured to operate in a normal mode and a burst mode to adjust the amount of power delivered to the electrical load. The load control device comprises a control circuit that operates in the normal mode to regulate an average magnitude of a load current conducted through the load between a maximum rated current and a minimum rated current. During the normal mode, the control circuit controls the operating period of a load regulation circuit between a high-end operating period and a low-end operating period. The control circuit operates in the burst mode to regulate the average magnitude of the load current below the minimum rated current. During the burst mode, the control circuit adjusts the low-end operating period to be less than or equal to a minimum on time of the load regulation circuit.

Abstract: A coaxial energy delivery system comprised of a radio frequency power supply as the preferred source of power, electron accelerator system, and electrically conductive tube to be fitted to permit the flow of a gas intended to be energized as a plasma, a point of discharge of the said gas, whether in tubular or columnar form, coincident with the point of emission of the electromagnetic wave, the emission of said electromagnetic wave at said point, utilization of a fraction of the potential energy at that point to form a plasma in such gas flow which plasma forms a conduit or waveguide to insulate and confine the electromagnetic wave in its interior, which is manifested as a visible beam in appearance and thereby directing such coherent electromagnetic wave to a target material to be coupled with such material and impart its energy thereto.
Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for the identification and/or characterization of properties of a macromolecule based on mass spectrometry data. Specifically, described herein are methods and apparatuses for converting peptide-level data into a pseudo-intact mass spectra. Also described herein are methods and apparatuses for converting peptide-level data into a pseudo-electropherogram. The methods may be well suited for analyzing proteins and protein complexes, including estimating properties of post-translational modifications of the proteins and protein complexes. Methods may include generating a theoretical graph or spectrum based on peptide-level mass spectrometry data. In some embodiments, the theoretical graph may be a theoretical intact mass spectrum or a theoretical charge distribution spectrum.
