Desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI‐MS) has been applied to the direct analysis of sample media for target chemicals, including chemical warfare agents (CWA), without the need ...

The established theory of ion motion within weak electric fields predicts that reduced ion mobility (K0) remains constant as a function of the ratio of electric field strength to drift gas number density (E/N). However, upon increasing the accuracy and precision of K0 value measurements during a previous study, a new relationship was seen in which the K0 values of ions decreased as a function of increasing E/N at field strengths below 4 Td. Here the effect of E/N on the K0 value of an ion has been investigated in order to validate the reality of the phenomenon and determine its cause. The p...

The extent of internal energy deposition using three different plasma-based ionization mass spectrometry (MS) methods, atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI), direct analysis in real time (DART), and active capillary dielectric barrier discharge ionization (DBDI), was investigated using benzylammonium ‘thermometer’ ions. Ions formed by DBDI were activated significantly less than those that were formed by DART and APCI under these conditions. Thermal ion activation by DART can be reduced slightly by positioning the DART source further from the capillary entrance to the MS and reduci...

A document carrier envelope for processing checks through automatic magnetic character recognition sorting equipment. The document carrier includes generally rectangular back and front sheets of approximately the same size. The front sheet is formed of relatively translucent material so that a check carried by the document carrier can be read, photographed or microfilmed and the front sheet is adhesively secured to the back sheet along one of the shorter side edges and along a line spaced from one of the longer side edges of the sheets. An elongated magnetic indiciareceiving strip is secure...

A writing guide for partially seeing, blind or muscularly disabled persons comprises a stiff backing element including means for holding a writing surface substantially immovable, and a flexible flap connected along one edge of the backing element. The latter is constructed to fold flat against the writing surface, and includes one or more lengthwise creases which correspond to desired writing lines on the writing surface. The user folds back the flap along the crease conforming to the line on which he wishes to write, for which the folded edge serves as a guide. Tactile and/or color contra...

An information control and storage circuit is included capable of operating in any one of several possible modes to receive, store and cause the display of information thereby permitting a multiplicity of functio...

A method and apparatus for performing a shading correction of image signals picked up by an optical detector array in which the period of x image signals can be prolonged by sampling of the image signal after reading reference signals and the speed of line memories can be reduced when carrying out an accumulative addition of picture elements, thereby enabling the use of low speed line memories.

The system includes a group of computers for facilitating the implementation and administration of a desired group insurance plan, having conversion rights for individuals. The system includes information gathering devices for receiving and storing employer and employee base information, and devices for generating summarized base information signals in response to the information gathering devices. Devices generate report displays of summarized base information responsive to the signals. Also, devices calculate iteratively a desired employer contribution amount based upon the base informati...

An apparatus provides a network combining a local site having a host computer and a specialized storage and retrieval module for storing image information which is connected to a remote site having document processing equipment working with remote specialized storage retrieval modules for storage of image and information data. The single local main host computer can operate the network such that documents which are converted to digitized packets can be stored in and retrieved from both the remote storage retrieval modules and also stored int eh local storage retrieval module for use of the ...

The size of image data for a check or other negotiable instrument used for electronically clearing payments made by such negotiable instruments is reduced. A scanning process setup command received from a host system by a communication unit 11 is interpreted by the command interpreting unit 25 and settings for a specified image reading area 43 and/or cropping areas 51 to 54 are stored in control data storage unit 32. The image reading unit 14 is controlled and driven by the scanning control unit 31, and an image of the negotiable instrument is read by scanning the specified image reading ar...

An image processing device and method for classifying symbols relies on a connected-component technique for isolating symbol regions. The device and method form connected components from an image derived by the application of an edge detection filter. The formation of connected components from this filtered image defines the edges of character shapes. As a result, the number of pixels that must be connected to define each connected component is substantially reduced and the speed of processing thereby increased. The application of the method is discussed primarily with respect to text in a ...
