Aerodynamic combination for improved base drag reduction

InactiveUS6959958B2Maximum base drag savingReduce base dragVehicle seatsWindowsBody shapeEngineering
An improved method and device for reducing the base drag of bluff bodies, including large boxy highway vehicles such as semi-trailer trucks, which uses low drag vortex generators in combination with either a trailing panel or shortened boattail plates, to provide greater base drag reduction than other previously known methods. The preferred embodiment reduces the required length of boattail plates by over half, making it compatible with current U.S. regulations for trailer underride bars, and providing easier access for rear cargo doors. The device is easily installed as an add-on device on both new and existing truck bodies. In an alternate configuration, the shape of one or more sets of shortened boattail plates can be built into the rear body shape of vehicles, to maximize the interior volume for a given total vehicle length.

Mass spectrometer arrangement with fragmentation cell and ion selection device

A method of mass spectrometry having the steps of, in a first cycle: storing sample ions in a first ion storage device; ejecting the stored ions out of the first ion storage device into a separate ion selection device; selecting a subset of the ions in the ion selection device; ejecting the subset of ions selected within the ion selection device to a fragmentation device; directing ions from the fragmentation device back to the first ion storage device without passing them through the said ion selection device; receiving at least some of the ions ejected from the first ion storage device, or their derivatives, back into the first ion storage device; and storing the received ions in the first ion storage device.

Insect control tape

An insect control tape that includes a substrate having a longitudinal direction with a first face and a second face opposite the first face. An insecticide or other pest control agent is applied to the first face in a longitudinal strip with adjacent side regions that are free of the agent. An adhesive covers at least part of the second face to anchor the tape on a floor. A web covers the first face and the agent. A consumer can press the tape down on a floor by contacting the web to install the tape, with reduced risk of contacting active, while still permitting crawling insects such as roaches to normally contact the active as they crawl over the tape.

Method of ion abundance augmentation in a mass spectrometer

A method of improving the detection limits of a mass spectrometer by: generating sample ions from an ion source; storing the sample ions in a first ion storage device; ejecting the stored ions into an ion selection device; selecting and ejecting ions of a chosen mass to charge ratio out of the ion selection device; storing the ions ejected from the ion selection device in a second ion storage device without passing them back through the ion selection device; repeating the preceding steps so as to augment the ions of the said chosen mass to charge ratio stored in the second ion storage device; and transferring the augmented ions of the said chosen mass to charge ratio back to the first ion storage device for subsequent analysis.

Methods of retarding the setting of a cement composition using biodegradable monomers

Methods of retarding the setting of a cement composition comprise including one or more secondary amines substituted with a carboxyl group or salts thereof (e.g., 3-hydroxy N,N′-iminodisuccinic acid) in the cement composition. The inclusion of such materials in cement compositions may be highly beneficial. In wellbores having BHCT's of less than or equal to about 250° F., the use of the secondary amine as the set retarder ensures that the thickening time of the cement composition is sufficient to allow the cement composition to be pumped to its desired downhole location. Further, the secondary amine may be used in combination with conventional set retarders to enhance the ability of those retarders to increase the thickening time of the cement composition at higher BHCT's, e.g., from about 250° F. to about 525° F.
