Pulsed system components

The truly parallel approach of this technology permits many different samples to be separated simultaneously using a minimum number of common system components such as pumps and pulse dampers. To increase the automation of the system, a plate loader and exchanger that accommodate...

Therefore, measurements carried out over a range of concentrations Ci and C2 with pure binary solutions, allow the determination of fci, Ai,mi,fc2, A2 and m2. From the retention times measured with pseudo-binary systems, i.e., for pulses of component 1 over concentration plateaus of solutions of component 2 alone (Cl = 0) and for pulses of component 2 over plateaus of solutions of component 1 alone (C2 = 0), one can derive from Eq. 4.96 ... 

NMR spectroscopy represents a valuable and versatile tool for the characterization of dispersed nanoparticles. In contrast to alternative analytical techniques, it combines a distinctly non-invasive character with the ability to analyse for chemical composition as well as for local mobility of individual system components. Its main disadvantages - poor sensitivity and time consuming acquisition of experimental data - can be overcome by a suitable choice of the pulse sequence and the experimental conditions. The advantages of the NMR approach are especially promising for the study of nanoparticle dispersions used as drug carriers, where many important system characteristics such as release properties, surface exchange processes or decomposition pathways are readily available by relatively simple pulse experiments. 

Dead time, or resolving time, of a counting system is defined as the minimum time that can elapse between the arrival of two successive particles at the detector and the recording of two distinct pulses. The components of dead time consist of the time it takes for the formation of the pulse in the detector itself and for the processing of the detector signal through the preamplifier-amplifi-er-discriminator-scaler (or preamplifier-amplifier-MCA). With modern electronics, the longest component of dead time is that of the detector, and for this...

The received signal can be passed through a matched filter, a delay line inversely related to frequency, an autocorrelater, or any technique to produce an equivalent pulse length equal to the reciprocal of the total bandwidth transmitted. The amplitude of this compressed signal is equal to the square root of the time-frequency-bandwidth product of the transmitted signal. The errors are limited to system component phase and frequency stabilities and linearities over the times to transmit and to receive. 

Direct inspections are important from the point of view of heat supply security to customers. They require usage of specialized equipment to the location of network failures, leaks and control of a district heating networks. Infrared cameras and other devices, which are part of the resistive pulse or alarm systems, are used to analyze the quality of the insulation of heating networks. They enable ongoing monitoring of the state of the system components to prevent the occurrence of major accidents. 

Adsorption Chromatography. The principle of gas-sohd or Hquid-sohd chromatography may be easily understood from equation 35. In a linear multicomponent system (several sorbates at low concentration in an inert carrier) the wave velocity for each component depends on its adsorption equihbrium constant. Thus, if a pulse of the mixed sorbate is injected at the column inlet, the different species separate into bands which travel through the column at their characteristic velocities, and at the oudet of the column a sequence of peaks corresponding to the different species is detected.
