  • Publication number: 20240329169
    Abstract: An NMR method and apparatus uses a magic angle spinning (MAS) system with a MAS turbine having a MAS stator and a MAS rotor. At least two different gases or gas mixtures are fed to the stator through separate gas feeds, a first for the driving of the rotor and another, which is different from the first, for the bearing of the rotor. Respective pressures of the at least two different gases or gas mixtures are regulated separately, and the different gases or gas mixtures are prevented from mixing in the stator by means of a flushing seal through which they at least partially flow out of the stator. Conventional outflow nozzles do not need to be adapted, and the rotor can be operated at a high rotational frequency even at low pressures. The pressures remain stable so that no rotational oscillations occur during the NMR measurement.

  • Patent number: 12102903
    Abstract: In particular embodiments, a treadmill may comprise one or more lifting mechanisms configured to lift and lower a treadmill belt (e.g., adjust an angle of the treadmill belt relative to a support surface) by adjusting a height of the front and rear of the treadmill about a pivot point. In particular embodiments, the pivot point may be positioned somewhat centered along a length of the belt. In particular embodiments, a seesaw arrangement may provide a central pivot point, providing a moment arm to the motor while decreasing a moment arm caused by the load (e.g., a runner). In this way, an apparent load on a motor providing incline and decline to the running surface may be reduced.

  • Patent number: 12046443
    Abstract: A Bernas ion source having a shield is disclosed. The shield is disposed between the distal portion of the filament and the first end of the chamber and serves to confine the plasma to the region between the shield and the second end of the chamber. The shield may be electrically connected to the negative leg of the filament so as to be the most negatively biased component in the chamber. In other embodiments, the shield may be electrically floating. In this embodiment, the shield may self-bias. The shield is typically made of a refractory metal. The use of the shield may reduce back heating of the filament by the plasma and reduce the possibility for thermal runaway. This may allow denser plasmas to be generated within the chamber.
