Abstract: The present invention is directed to a device for evaporative light scattering detection that can be used for a wide range of sample types and mobile phases. The device may be quickly converted between a single flow and a split flow configuration through the use of a retractable impactor.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine has a rotor including a rotor shaft which is journaled within an external structural engine casing. Stator elements are mounted within the external casing about the rotor, and in order to maintain a precise radial clearance between the rotor and stator elements, a stator support assembly is positioned within the engine casing and supports the stator elements relative to the rotor. The support assembly is comprised by an internal casing having one portion that is free to move by a limited amount in radial directions relative to the external casing, and a casing support disc extending generally radially outward to the internal casing from a bearing on the rotor shaft. The casing support disc holds the internal casing radially fixed relative to the shaft and, thus, references the movable portion of the internal casing relative to the rotor and rotor shaft rather than the external engine casing.

Abstract: A golf club is presented wherein the point of attachment, or the effective point of attachment, of the shaft to the club head is offset forward of the center of gravity of the head. The offset is in an amount such that the force couple created by translational acceleration of the head during the forward part of the stroke of the club is approximately equal to the torque required to overcome and opposite to the rotational inertia of the head to turn the club face from an angular position of other than perpendicular to the path of travel of the center of gravity on the backstroke to an angular position at impact substantially perpendicular to the path of travel of the center of gravity.
