The substitution of aluminum alloy roof panels for the low carbon steel roof panels most commonly used in motor vehicles is an attractive option for vehicle mass reduction. Often, however, the remainder of the vehicle body structure continues to be fabricated of steel. The combination of the aluminum alloy roof attached to the steel body may create compressive stresses in the aluminum roof when the body is subjected to elevated temperatures such as those required to cure or bake the paint applied to the body. These stresses may lead to unacceptable appearance features in the visible segment of the roof. By modifying the roof stamping to introduce a tabbed flange for attachment to the body and / or modifying the generally-vertical wall joining the flange to the roof interior, the stresses may be minimized and relocated to segments of the roof not normally visible.

A plural day gravity fed animal feeding and watering apparatus. The non-electric apparatus has compartments for food and water. A timer that uses the principle of wicking action permits food and water to enter respective dishes. Alternatively, mass reduction via disposition of water in a bored container can deliver water to the water bowl.

The invention relates to determining the masses from the time-of-flight values of ions in time-of-flight mass spectrometers where the accelerating voltage for the ions is not applied permanently, but is switched on at a certain time, resulting in a temporally changing acceleration for a short time after the voltage has been switched on. An aspect of the invention includes formally describing the effect of the temporally changing acceleration on the calibration curve—an effect which cannot be subjected to a strict mathematical-analytical calculation—by introducing a “reduced mass” m—m0 instead of the mass m. The mass reduction factor m0 does not describe a real mass difference, but a mass-dependent shortfall in the final kinetic energy after the ions have passed through the acceleration, a shortfall which can be observed with the temporally changing acceleration. This surprisingly simple formalism makes it possible to calculate the mass of the ions over a wide mass range and with an accuracy of approximately one part per million of the mass, using a calibration curve containing only four to six calibrated coefficients.
