Publication number: 20200243314Abstract: A method of assessing mass spectral peaks obtained by a mass spectrometer is disclosed. The method comprises: providing experimentally obtained mass spectral data; selecting a chemical compound thought to have been analysed so as to provide said experimentally observed data, and modelling the spectral data predicted to be detected if the compound was to be mass analysed. The step of modelling comprises: generating a first set of spectral data including at least one mass peak that is predicted to be detected for the selected compound; generating a second set of spectral data by duplicating at least part of the first set of spectral data and shifting at least one mass peak in mass to charge ratio relative to the corresponding at least one mass peak in the first set of spectral data; and summing the amplitudes of the first and second sets of spectral data to produce a model data set having at least one mass peak.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2020Publication date: July 30, 2020Inventors: Richard Denny, Paul Slater

Patent number: 8875149Abstract: Resource constraints for a group of individual application products to be configured for shared resource usage of at least one shared resource within a single operating system instance are analyzed by a resource allocation module. An individual resource allocation for each of the group of individual application products is determined based upon the analyzed resource constraints for the group of individual application products. The determined individual resource allocation for each of the group of individual application products is implemented within the single operating system instance using local inter-product message communication bindings by the single operating system instance.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2012Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Paul Slater, Brian Stewart, Craig H.

Patent number: 4516577Abstract: An animal ear tag applicator tool which includes spaced apart first and second retention members each of which is adapted to retain an animal ear tag part. The tool has a body to which is pivotally attached a lever. Movement of the lever toward handle of body results in rectilinear movement of the first retention member toward the second retention member. The tool is characterized by a linkage which transforms pivotal movement of the lever into a varying speed rectilinear movement of the first retention member toward the second retention member relative to the movement of the lever itself.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 1984Date of Patent: May 14, 1985Assignee: Allflex International LimitedInventors: Michael J.

Patent number: 4253421Abstract: There is disclosed a valve unit for a liquid flow sensing device of the type having a control means which is movable between first and second positions when the flow rate is respectively low and high but biased to the first position. The valve unit comprises three valve sections one of which is movable in response to movement of the control means a second of which is fixed relative to the control means and a third which is movable independently of the other two sections. The valve includes first and second ports, port connecting means, a flow passage and a diaphragm which forms part of the chamber and can close said flow passage. The third valve section can be moved so that the first port is isolated from the second port but coupled to the chamber when the control means is in the first position and moves to the second position.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 1979Date of Patent: March 3, 1981Assignee: Delta Plastics LimitedInventors: Paul Slater, Michael J.

Patent number: 4185635Abstract: An applicator, for animal ear tags, of the type having two lever members pivoted together. The levers are formed on one side of the pivot point as handles. A body is mounted to one lever at the other side of the pivot and has a pin which normally projects therefrom. Apparatus is provided to retain a female component of an ear tag opposite the pin and this forms part of the aforementioned one lever. Within the body there is an apparatus to retract the pin from within the stem of a male component of an ear tag immediately upon the male and female components being coupled together following movement of the pin towards the retention apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 1977Date of Patent: January 29, 1980Assignee: Delta Plastics LimitedInventors: John R. Burford, Paul Slater
