An apparatus for reducing vertical segregation of a discharge lamp. A current / voltage input sweeps through a frequency range between the first azimuthal acoustic resonance mode and a first radial acoustic resonance mode of the discharge lamp. The current / voltage input is subsequently amplitude modulated. Alternatively, without amplitude modulation, the current / voltage input sweeps through the frequency range for a first portion of the period, and then for a second portion of the period drops to a relatively constant frequency.

A wireless communications system, e.g., an OFDM system, uses a plurality of carrier frequencies each with an associated frequency band. A base station sector transmitter in the system transmits ordinary signaling, e.g., user data, in its own assigned band. In addition the sector base station transmitter periodically transmits beacon signals into its own frequency band and the frequency bands used by adjacent sector transmitters for their ordinary signaling. Beacon signals, being short duration high power signals with sector transmission power concentrated on one or a few tones, are easily detectable. Each beacon signal may be identified as to the source base station sector transmitter, e.g., based on tone. A mobile node, tuned to a single carrier band, receives a plurality of beacon signals, identifies the sources of the received beacons, compares the received strength of the beacons, and makes handoff decisions, without having to switch carrier band.

The present invention provides a mass spectrometer having an ion lens capable of transporting an ion having a large mass to charge ratio with a high level of ion-passing efficiency even under a low-vacuum atmosphere. In conventional atmospheric pressure ionization mass spectrometers or similar mass spectrometers, applying an excessively high voltage to the ion lens undesirably causes an electric discharge. Therefore, the passing efficiency for an ion having a large mass to charge ratio cannot be adequately improved, which leads to a poor detection sensitivity. To solve this problem, the mass spectrometer according to the present invention includes a voltage controller 21 that controls a variable radiofrequency (RF) voltage generator 24 so that both the amplitude and the frequency of the RF voltage applied to the lens electrodes of an ion lens 5 are changed according to the mass to charge ratio of an ion to be analyzed. This control enables the ion lens 5 to focus an ion and transport it to the subsequent stage with a high level of passing efficiency even in the case of analyzing an ion having a large mass to charge ratio. Thus, the detection sensitivity is improved. The aforementioned control is conducted on the basis of the control data stored in a voltage control data storage 22. These data are obtained in advance by a measurement of a sample containing a substance having a known mass to charge ratio, in which the intensity of the signal of an ion detector is maintained while the analysis conditions are changed.

A miniature multi-frequency antenna, comprising at least one dielectric substrate, at least one signal electrode and at least one ground electrode. The signal electrode and the ground electrode are disposed on a substrate. The signal electrode contains at least two branches and at least one branch is partially overlapped with the ground electrode. Each interlayer region between the partially overlapped electrodes forms a specific capacitance. By utilizing this interlayer capacitive effect, the resonant frequency of lower frequency band is achieved while the size of the antenna is effectively reduced. For obtaining the resonant frequency of the high frequency bands, the design concept of PIFA is applied on other branches of the signal electrode. A miniature antenna thus obtained is capable of transmitting / receiving multi-frequency signals having the benefits of easily adjusting impedance and resonant frequency.
