Abstract:   3-D ion traps have been a part of the Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LCMS) landscape for over a decade, providing multi-path mass spectrometry experiments (ms/ms or msn) for unknown screening and structure elucidation.  Recent advances in ion trap LCMS features including Enhanced Charge Capacity (ECC) which extends the number of ions that can be simultaneously analyzed and electronic control of Atmospheric Pressure Ionization (API), which delivers optimum drying gas during…

The understanding of oceanic processes has always been hindered by the difficulty in measuring them.  Almost all types of propagating waves are either rapidly attenuated or suffer little and non-specific interaction with the ocean’s interior.  The latest generation of ships, moorings, gliders all offer advantages, however, still suffer from significant aliasing.  Via the revolution in micro processing technology, power storage and the continuing advancement of low cost…

What you don’t know can hurt you! Taking measurements on electrical circuits can be made less hazardous by using the proper test equipment the correct way. Electrical measurement tools like digital multimeters, electrical testers, oscilloscopes and even test leads must be properly rated for the intended task.  Everyone in our business needs to be informed or reminded of safe measurement practices and who best to do it than the industry leader in testing instruments.

Dr Tim Pauly, President, Myriax Inc.,
2877 Historic Decatur Rd. Suite 400, San Diego, Ca 92106

Tim will present some background and an overview to Myriax’s data fusion project, and demonstrate the emerging 4D visualization and data fusion capabilities of the new Eonfusion application.

We aim to enhance the excitement of discovery that visualization brings to data analysis, to provide a suite of tools that makes the interesting absolutely fascinating and the mundane easy, and ultimately to offer ‘inter-ocular traumatic impact’ - understanding that hits…

Jochen Klinke, Senior Scientist, Oceanscience

The presentation will discuss the principles of operation of the Underway Conductivity Temperature Depth System (UCTD) and give a detailed overview of the system components. A performance analysis of the sensors will be presented showing how the data quality compares to commonly used expendables and stationary CTD measurements. The talk will conclude with a summary of the UCTD benefits when doing underway…

Forces and motions induced on a deep water drill riser by a rotating drill string acting through interstitial fluid
Bob Blevins and Charly Coughran

Bob Blevins will present a substantial, real world problem in fluid mechanics. Charly Coughran will discuss a physical laboratory model and instrumentation to explore the problem. Bob Blevins will present data produced in the lab and its application to a mathematical model of the fluid driven interaction.

Bob Blevins has spent his career solving major problems in fluid induced vibration in major…
