Filed:

Aug 30, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/385386

Inventors:

David Palsulich - Boise ID, US
Eric Swanson - Boise ID, US
Larry Weston - Meridian ID, US
Kevin Coyle - Boise ID, US

Assignee:

Micron Technology Inc. - Boise ID

International Classification:

H01J 49/00

US Classification:

250288, 204603, 204452

Abstract:

An enhanced transfer system that increases the accuracy and sensitivity of a measurement system is disclosed. In one embodiment, the transfer system includes transfer tubing that transports samples from a spray chamber to an ionizer in a mass spectrometer system. The transfer system also includes a transfer gas line that is connected to the transfer tubing. The transfer gas line supplies a gas that assists with the transferring of the samples from the spray chamber to the ionizer. In one embodiment, the transfer gas line is angled relative to a portion of the transfer tubing. In another embodiment, the transfer gas line is perpendicular relative to a portion of the transfer tubing. The injected gas increases the quantity and quality of the samples transferred to the mass spectrometry system, thereby increasing the overall accuracy and sensitivity of the measurement system.

International Classification:

H04L 29/08
G06F 17/30

Abstract:

A content management system synchronizes content items across client computing systems connected by a network. Client devices connected to peer devices on a LAN utilize peer-to-peer synchronization to synchronize content items. Client devices on the LAN broadcast namespaces synchronized on the client devices with other devices on the LAN. Client devices on the LAN connect to a subset of client devices that share a namespace with the connecting client device based on the broadcasts. Upon receiving a notification from the content management system that a new content item has been synchronized with the namespace a client device sends requests for a block comprising a content item to a subset of the connected devices. Additional block requests are sent in the order of randomized blocklist.
