Abstract: A method for determining a combined amount of ?-tocopherol and ?-tocopherol in a sample by tandem mass spectrometry includes subjecting the sample to ionization under conditions suitable to produce one or more ions from the ?-tocopherol and ?-tocopherol detectable by mass spectrometry; and determining the amount of one or more of said ions by tandem mass spectrometry, wherein tandem mass spectrometry comprises fragmenting ?-tocopherol and ?-tocopherol ions having a mass to charge ratio of about 416.35±0.80 into one or more fragment ions comprising a fragment ion having a mass to charge ratio of about 151.00±0.80, wherein the amount of the one or more ions determined is related to the combined amount of ?-tocopherol and ?-tocopherol in the sample.

Abstract: A method of improving an information transmission rate involves reducing atmospheric distortions by emitting at the same or nearly the same wavelength a reference source for adaptive optic correction and a signal source for optical communication. The reference source is brighter than the signal source and the (pulsed or continuous) reference source is emitted earlier than the (pulsed or continuous) signal source. By adjustment of the time delay between the reference source and the signal source and/or the delay time in adaptive optics control and/or apparent angular speed of the sources relative to the detecting module and/or the physical separation between the reference source and the signal source, the optical paths of a reference source beam and a signal source beam have about same wavefront distortion. The reference source beam and the signal source beam are detected in a side by side manner by detectors physically located next to each other.

Abstract: An example method for estimating a media level of a media stack in a printer includes storing a media level model correlating a picker metric of a media picker to pick media from the media stack to the media level; measuring a current picker metric when the media picker picks the media from the media stack during a print job; adding the current picker metric to a historical data set; updating the media level model by generating a regression for the historical data set; and based on the current picker metric and the updated media level model, estimating a current media level of the media stack.
