Electron-beam magnetic switch for a plurality of free-electron lasers
Apparatus for forming and utilizing a sequence of electron beam segments, each of the same temporal length (substantially 15 nsec), with consecutive beams being separated by a constant time interval of the order of 3 nsec is described. The beam sequence is used for simultaneous inputs to a plurality of wiggler magnet systems that also accept the laser beams to be amplified by interaction with the co-propagating electron beams. The electron beams are arranged substantially in a circle to allow proper distribution of and simultaneous switching out of the beam segments to their respective wiggler magnets.

Method for spectrochemical analysis using time-resolved laser-induced breakdown. [Patent application]
A method for real-time elemental analysis using laser-induced breakdown of the material under investigation and spectroscopic analysis of the light emitted from the plasma consequently formed is described. By delaying the observation of the emitted radiation, the unwanted background continuum and line spectra from excited ionic species can be rendered unimportant relative to the excited atomic line spectra, thereby producing sharp, well-defined characteristic identifying atomic spectral features. These features provide the indicia for detailed elemental analyses of substances. The method is quite general in that it applies to gases, surfaces, and particulates entrained in gases. It requires no electrodes and can excite atomic species like fluorine and chlorine which are difficult to observe by more conventional analytical procedures.

Process of and Apparatus for Progressive Electrostatic Separation of Comminuted Material
Patent for a new process and equipment that improves upon prior work to separate comminuted materials. This patent explores the new process which "provides means for moving the electro-static waves or charges across the line of normal movement of the material upon a support of between two opposing stationary electrodes by so directing and controlling the electric charges, that each bar electrode is charged in succession across the deck and at an angle to the movement of such deck, whereby the difficulties in separating certain classes of comminuted material with moving electrodes are overcome" (lines 32-42).
