Le programme de production de MRH est le point de convergence de plusieurs des activités du groupe en ce qui concerne la recherche et le développement d'instruments et de méthodes. Le groupe offre également des services de chimie analytique sur une base contractuelle ou de paiement à l'acte à différents clients industriels lorsqu'aucun laboratoire d'analyse chimique canadien ne peut répondre à leurs exigences. Un exemple particulier serait le spectromètre de masse à décharge luminescente utilisé dans l'analyse directe des matériaux conducteurs et semi-conducteurs, notamment les matières de très grande pureté comme le gallium et le tellure de cadmium, destinées à la fabrication de dispositifs micro-électroniques. 3, record 2, French, - spectrom%C3%A8tre%20de%20masse%20%C3%A0%20d%C3%A9charge%20luminescente

La spectrométrie de masse à décharge luminescente (GDMS) est une technique d'analyse de pureté ou de composition de matériaux. Ce dispositif expérimental utilise une décharge luminescente DC, généralement dans de l'argon, pour pulvériser un matériau et analyser les particules arrachées grâce à un spectromètre de masse. Le principe de ce dispositif est que le matériau à analyser, ou substrat, est utilisé comme cathode pour la décharge. 2, record 2, French, - spectrom%C3%A8tre%20de%20masse%20%C3%A0%20d%C3%A9charge%20luminescente

The purpose of this guideline is to establish standards that should be followed in the discharge of waste from an industrial operation on Commissioner's Land or lands administered by municipal governments in the Northwest Territories(NWT). This guideline has been developed by the Environmental Protection Service(EPS) of the Department of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development(RWED). It is also intended to : provide direction for the management and discharge of industrial waste, protect the environment, protect municipal infrastructure, such as sewage systems and solid waste modified landfills, from immediate and long term environmental problems, and protect workers and the public from improper industrial waste discharge. 1, record 3, English, - Guideline%20for%20Industrial%20Waste%20Discharges%20in%20the%20NWT

The pulsed plasma thruster(PPT) with solid propellant is used for low power propulsion systems; typically with an average power less than thirty watts. Capacitor stored electrical energy is used to create a pulsed arc discharge across the face of a block of propellant, teflon in most implementations to date. The combination of thermal flux, particle bombardment and surface reactions ablates and ionises a small amount of the solid material... The peak discharge current is high, in the region of tens of kA. The self-induced magnetic field acts on the ions moving in the electric field creating the discharge to create a Lorentz body force that accelerates the plasma. Teflon PPTs have enjoyed limited use in east-west station keeping and sun pointing applications. PPTs do not produce sufficient thrust to be considered as candidates to provide primary propulsion of future out of Earth orbit missions and were not considered for SMART-1. 2, record 6, English, - pulsed%20plasma%20thruster
