A connector to easily and correctly join an electrical component to a printed circuit board is provided. The connector comprises a generally C-shaped electrically conductive element that provides for connection alternatively to the positive and negative terminals of a device depending on the orientation of the connector. In this way, one connector is made that can be used to alternatively satisfy connection to both positive and negative terminals and thereby simplify the construction of the element. Because of the shapes of the ends of the connector, a device can only be plugged in one way. The connector can be made from a single sheet of electrically conductive material bent generally into a "C" shape, with specific tabs and cuts made therein. The connector includes a tab that allows for quick and automated connection to a printed circuit board, and an element to prevent connectors from interlocking while in a loose and unconnected state as, during manufacturing, plating, or storage, allowing them to be added to a board using automated procedures for quick, accurate and low cost construction.

Provided are methods, apparatus and systems for stabilization of a glow discharge from a plasma. Also provided are methods, apparatus and systems for processing optical signals from a stabilised glow plasma with enhanced signal to noise recovery. A first method comprises: generating an electric field within a plasma cell using an alternating excitation voltage to excite particles within the cell, to produce a glow discharge from a plasma in the plasma cell in a resonant condition; monitoring, in each excitation cycle of the alternating excitation voltage, one or more signals that correlate with glow discharge optical emissions from the plasma in the plasma cell; and, in response to said monitoring, controlling one or more operating conditions for the plasma cell to maintain the glow discharge emissions from the plasma within a desired operating range in each excitation cycle of the alternating excitation voltage. A relatively stable glow discharge optical emission is maintained via dynamic resonant feedback control of operating conditions such as the electric field that is used to excite particles within the plasma cell. The stabilization of the glow plasma can be used in glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GD-OES) for gas analysis and in other applications.

Provided are methods, apparatus and systems for stabilisation of a glow discharge from a plasma. Also provided are methods, apparatus and systems for processing optical signals from a stabilised glow plasma with enhanced signal to noise recovery. A first method comprises: generating an electric field within a plasma cell using an alternating excitation voltage to excite particles within the cell, to produce a glow discharge from a plasma in the plasma cell in a resonant condition; monitoring, in each excitation cycle of the alternating excitation voltage, one or more signals that correlate with glow discharge optical emissions from the plasma in the plasma cell; and, in response to said monitoring, controlling one or more operating conditions for the plasma cell to maintain the glow discharge emissions from the plasma within a desired operating range in each excitation cycle of the alternating excitation voltage. A relatively stable glow discharge optical emission is maintained via dynamic resonant feedback control of operating conditions such as the electric field that is used to excite particles within the plasma cell. The stabilisation of the glow plasma can be used in glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GD-OES) for gas analysis and in other applications.

Method and system for correcting incident light fluctuations in absorption spectroscopy
A method and system for correcting the effect of intensity fluctuations of the transmitted light in an absorption spectroscopy system used for the detection or measurement of chemical species in a medium, whereby one or more modulation bursts are imposed onto a light beam that passes through the medium. This burst signal may be obtained by modulating the bias current of a tunable diode laser, and the modulation burst signal may be optimally at the second harmonic of the modulation frequency of a wavelength modulated beam to allow usage of the same signal path processing used for the spectroscopic detection of the measurand for a second harmonic detection system. The burst signal can be controlled using a smooth window function to minimise the effects of non-linear perturbations that are inherent in tunable diode laser wavelength modulation spectroscopy systems, of optical interference fringes (etalons) and of the residual light absorption by background chemical species or the measurand at the wavelength coinciding with the modulation burst.

Apparatus (100) for measuring particle size distribution by light scattering comprises a blue LED (102) and a 633 nm helium neon laser (104). Light output from the LED and laser is separately passed or reflected by a dichroic element (116) onto a common path through a sample cell (122) containing a sample, the particle size distribution of which is to be measured. Light scattered from the sample cell is detected by one or more detectors (112B-H). Light transmitted by the sample cell is detected by detectors 112A, 112J. Output signals from one or more of the detectors are passed to a computation unit (114) which calculates particle size distribution. A small percentage of light from the blue LED is reflected by the dichroic element to a detector (110). Similarly, a small percentage of light from the laser is passed by the dichroic element to the detector. Output signals from the detector are fed back to control units (106, 108) to stabilize the output power of the LED and laser.
A particle characterisation apparatus is disclosed comprising: a light source; a sample cell; a collecting lens and a detector. The light source is operable to illuminate a sample comprising dispersed particles within the sample cell with a light beam along a light beam axis. The light beam axis passes through a first wall of the sample cell, through the sample, and through a second wall of the sample cell, so as to produce scattered light by interactions with the sample. The detector is configured to detect light scattered from the sample. The second wall of the sample cell comprises a lens with a convex external surface through which the light beam axis passes. The collecting lens is arranged to collect and focus scattered light leaving the sample cell onto the detector,and comprises an aspheric surface.

MEASURING AMPLIFIER WITH BACKGROUND ADJUSTMENT AND METHOD THEREFOR
The invention concerns a measuring amplifier (103) with background calibration and adjustment, as well as a method for performing background calibration and adjustment for a measuring amplifier of this type. The measuring amplifier amplifies, digitizes and processes at least one measurement signal (111) from at least one sensing element (102) by means of at least one amplifier arrangement (108) which can temporarily be replaced with an additional amplifier arrangement (107), enabling its continuous calibration and, if necessary, adjustment. In the case of calibration, both a zero error and an amplification error of the amplifier arrangement are reliably determined. In addition, the amplifier arrangement is calibrated directly, not indirectly, thus achieving a high level of accuracy without interrupting measuring. Furthermore, only one additional amplifier arrangement is generally required, even for a measuring amplifier having a plurality of channels.
The invention relates to a force transducer construction having the follow features: - a first deformation element (1), on which a force (F) to be measured acts, wherein on or in the deformation element (1), at locations having a narrowed cross-section (1a), sensors (3a, 3b) for measuring the material elongation at said locations are arranged, - a second deformation element (6), on which sensors (3c, 3d) for measuring the material elongation are provided, and - a guide (7a, 7b), which holds the first deformation element (1) substantially in the functional position thereof in the event of a fracture at the location having a narrowed cross-section (1a) and guides the first deformation element against the second deformation element (6) in the event of further application of force.
