Abstract: Disclosed is a mass spectrometer capable of highly sensitively and highly efficiently measuring the masses of ions regardless of the polarity, mass numbers and energy of the ions. An ion beam transport unit (5), a conversion dynode (6) and a secondary electron detecting system (7) are disposed so that an acute angle is formed between the direction of travel of an ion beam striking on the conversion dynode (6), and a line (75) connecting the center (64) of a secondary electron exit (63) to the center (73) of a scintillator (71). The center axis (74) of the scintillator (71) lies between an end (52) of the ion transport unit (5) and the center axis (64) of the secondary electron exit (63). Since the secondary electron exit (63) is apart from an electric field created between the ion transport unit (5) and the scintillator (71), the secondary electrons are able to reach the scintillator (71) without being deflected.

Abstract: In semiconductor modules having a plurality of semiconductor devices mounted on a multilayer printed circuit boards as the processing speed increases, a short circuit current flowing through CMOS devices in the semiconductor devices during operation can cause noise because of ground inductance or power supply inductance. This noise can result in erroneous operations. To solve this problem, the power supply layer or grand layer that is connected to either the power supply terminal Vcc or the ground terminal Gnd of each semiconductor memory, which is located farther from the connection terminals, is arranged closer to the semiconductor memories with this arrangement, the short circuit current flowing through the semiconductor memories is more strongly magnetically coupled with the power supply layer or ground layer arranged close to them. Thus, it is possible to reduce the effective inductance. This, in turn, reduces noise, making it possible to provide a semiconductor module with an increased processing speed.

Abstract: A beam member which is installed at diametral portion in a ring shape superconducting coil container for supporting hoop stress of the coil, or a portion of radiant heat shield covering the beam member, is partly or entirely composed of electrical insulators or high resistivity materials. In accordance with the above composition, eddy current which is generated in the coil container when the superconducting coil container crosses magnetic field caused by eddy current which is generated in the radiant heat shield when the radiant heat shield crosses strong magnetic field caused by the superconducting coils with relative vibration of the radiant heat shield to the superconducting coil by a dynamic cause can be suppressed. Accordingly, heat generation in the superconducting coil container can be reduced, and consequently, generation of quenching can be prevented.

Abstract: There is disclosed a coil structure which can be rapidly energized or excited, and which reduces the generation of heat in a coil container by an eddy current due to a dynamic disturbance such as vibration and a magnetic field fluctuation, thereby suppressing the occurrence a quench. The coil container is constituted by a low-resistivity material, and a high-resistivity portion is provided at at least one portion of the coil container in the direction of the periphery of the coil container. The high-resistivity portion is provided at a position where a vibration displacement is small or a magnetic field fluctuation is small. When the coil structure is to be energized or excited, the eddy current produced in the direction of the periphery of the superconducting-coil container can be reduced at the high-resistivity portion, and when the dynamic disturbance develops, the generation of heat by the eddy current is suppressed by the low-resistivity material.
