Nitrogen isotopic analyses by isotope-ratio-monitoring gas chromatography / mass spectrometry

Amino acids containing natural-abundance levels of ¹⁵N were derivatized and analyzed isotopically using a technique in which individual compounds are separated by gas chromatography, combusted on-line, and the product stream sent directly to an isotope-ratio mass spectrometer. For samples of N₂ gas, standard deviations of ratio measurement were better than 0.1‰ (Units for δ are parts per thousand or per million (‰).) for samples larger than 400 pmol and better than 0.5‰ for samples larger than 25 pmol (0.1‰ ¹⁵N is equivalent to 0.00004 atom % ¹⁵N). Results duplicated those of conventional, batchwise analyses to within 0.05‰. For combustion of organic compounds yielding CO₂/N₂ ratios between 14 and 28, in particular for N-acetyl n-propyl derivatives of amino acids, δ values were within 0.25‰ of results obtained using conventional techniques and standard deviations were better than 0.35‰. Pooled data for measurements of all amino acids produced an accuracy and precision of 0.04 and 0.23‰, respectively, when 2 mnol of each amino acid was injected on column and 20% of the stream of combustion products was delivered to the mass spectrometer.

数字化回传技术

对于有线电视运营商来说，为满足当今快速增长的语音和高速数据业务的需要．双向通信系统中的“上行”回传就显得尤为重要。最初的“广播”网中，回传通道只局限于对覆盖用户的状态监控和基本的机顶盒控制，随着时间的推进，情况逐步发生变化：先是受限机顶盒交互的QPSK调制，然后是DOCSIS 1．x的16QAM调制,再到DOCSIS2．0和DOCSIS3．0的64QAM调制。     

An unexpected aminocyclopropane reductive rearrangement

A reductive rearrangement of aminocyclopropanes is described for the synthesis of cis- or trans-fused bicyclic 1,2-diaminocyclobutanes. Ionization of a cyclic aminal using BF₃·OEt₂ induces rearrangement to a cyclobutyl iminium ion, which is subsequently reduced by Et₃SiH. Substitution with allyltrimethylsilane allows carbon incorporation, giving a quaternary center. Silyloxy-substituted cyclopropanes rearrange rapidly to cyclobutanones which react with NaBH₄ to provide 1,2-aminohydroxycyclobutanes. These aminals were generated by the reduction of a Boc-imide with DIBAL-H or LiBH₄.     

A 60-GHz 38-pJ/bit 3.5-Gb/s 90-nm CMOS OOK Digital Radio

A 60-GHz fully integrated bits-in bits-out on–off keying (OOK) digital radio has been designed in a standard 90-nm CMOS process technology. The transmitter provides 2 dBm of output power at a 3.5-Gb/s data rate while consuming 156 mW of dc power, including the on-chip 60-GHz frequency synthesizer. A pulse-shaping filter has been integrated to support high data rates while maintaining spectral efficiency. The receiver performs direct-conversion noncoherent demodulation at data rates up to 3.5 Gb/s while consuming 108 mW of dc power, for a total average transceiver energy consumption of 38 pJ/bit in time division duplex operation. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the lowest energy per bit reported to date in the 60-GHz band for fully integrated single-chip CMOS OOK radios.
