Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure involve systems and methods for a service activation system in a telecommunications network that utilizes one or more generic container files for building the configuration file to instantiate the service on the network. A request for service from a network may be received from an order entry system that includes specific information about the requested service. A collection of generic configuration files may be selected based on the information included in the service order and arranged to build a configuration file to be executed on the network. The service activation system may also include a component or group of components to verify a received service order and alter the service order with default information or data where applicable. The configuration file may also be executed on the network through one or more drivers communicating with the affected devices to configure the one or more network devices.

Abstract: A spray nozzle for spraying a matrix reagent onto a foil carrier, for subsequent chromatographic analysis; the nozzle has an interior chamber for receiving a flow of the material sample into a capillary tube. The capillary tube has an open end concentric with gas flowing through the nozzle interior chamber, for causing the gas flow to atomize the material sample into a conical spray pattern. A pair of air jets are directed at the atomized conical spray pattern downstream from the capillary tube end, to flatten and elongate the atomized spray pattern for depositing on a collection medium.

Abstract: A system for processing fluid carrying a component by depositing the component onto a medium and evaporating the fluid. The system includes a collection medium and a nozzle arrangement. The nozzle arrangement includes a long capillary with a first, inlet end for receiving a flow of the fluid carrying the component and a second, outlet end arranged near the collection medium. A heater is provided for heating the capillary. A sheath gas is directed toward the collection medium in a manner that the fluid is exposed to the sheath gas after emerging from the outlet end of the capillary. The long capillary may be bent, e.g., in a helical configuration, so that, in spite of its length, a nozzle of practical size for an analytical instrument can be provided.
