A conventional membrane-type stainless steel shock tube has been coupled to a high-repetition-rate time-of-flight mass spectrometer (HRR-TOF-MS) to be used to study complex reaction systems such as the formation of pollutants in combustion processes or formation of nanoparticles from metal containing organic compounds. Opposed to other TOF-MS shock tubes, our instrument is equipped with a modular sampling unit that allows to sample with or without a skimmer. The skimmer unit can be mounted or removed in less than 10 min. Thus, it is possible to adjust the sampling procedure, namely, the mass flux into the ionization chamber of the HRR-TOF-MS, to the experimental situation imposed by species-specific ionization cross sections and vapor pressures. The whole sampling section was optimized with respect to a minimal distance between the nozzle tip inside the shock tube and the ion source inside the TOF-MS. The design of the apparatus is presented and the influence of the skimmer on the measured spectra is demonstrated by comparing data from both operation modes for conditions typical for chemical kinetics experiments. The well-studied thermal decomposition of acetylene has been used as a test system to validate the new setup against kinetics mechanisms reported in literature. 相似文献

Summary: This paper reports the phase behavior of photochemically crosslinked poly(butyl acrylate) networks in nematic liquid crystal (LC) solvents. The swelling properties are studied as a function of temperature for two low molecular weight nematic LCs, 4‐cyano‐4′‐pentylbiphenyl (5CB) and the eutectic mixture of cyanoparaphenylenes (E7). Chemically crosslinked polymer networks were formed by the UV radiation of initial solutions of the reactive monomer, butyl acrylate, a crosslinker (hexanediol diacrylate), and a photoinitiator. To obtain different network densities, the ratio of butyl acrylate to hexanediol diacrylate was varied prior to polymerization/crosslinking reactions. Immersion in an excess of the LC solvent allowed for the measurement of size increase by polarized optical microscopy in terms of temperature. Length, width, and diagonal ratios were calculated considering swollen to dry network states of the samples. In general, swelling leads to an increase in the network size by increasing the temperature with a significant dependence on the degree of crosslinking. A large shift in the swelling ratio was found in the vicinity of the nematic to isotropic transition temperatures of the LCs.
The most common noises in ECG (electrocardiogram) signal processing are BW (baseline wandering) and the 50 or 60 Hz PLI (power line interferences). In order to remove these two major source of noises, we have used the recent powerful DWT (discrete wavelet transform) signal processing in ECG signals which are obtained from MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database. The results indicate that DWT is a good method for filtering noises without changing the morphology of ECG, and can be applied to all types of ECG signals, whether normal or presenting arrhythmias. 相似文献
This paper tackles the problem of pilot contamination (PC) in mmWave Massive MIMO cellular systems. We propose an analog precoder based on antenna subset transmission technique to mitigate the PC. This technique ensures the interfering signal to become noise‐like signal thus helping a more efficient estimation of channel coefficients. Also, this strategy is low cost and introduces no complexity load. The result shows the effectiveness of the proposed precoder to mitigate PC issue. 相似文献
