Curl will not automatically download JavaScript files the HTML refers to. So unless you explicitly download the Google Analytics JavaScript file, Google won't detect the Curl hit.
Google offers a non-JavaScript method of tracking hits. It's intended for mobile sites, but may be repurposable for your needs.
You're misunderstanding how curl/file_get_contents work. They're executed on the server, not on the client browser. As far as Google and any regular user is concerned, they'll see the output of those calls, not the calls themselves.
Assuming that all the requests work properly and don't issue any warnings/errors and there's no network glitches between server A and server B, then there is absolutely no way for the client to see exactly what server A's doing. It could be sending a local file. It could be executing a local script and send its output. It could be offshoring the request to a server in India which does the hard work and then simply claims the credit for it, etc...
Now, you CAN get the client to talk to server B directly. You could have server A spit out an HTML page that contains an iframe, image tag, script tag, css file, etc... that points to server B. But that's no longer transparent to the client - you're explicitly telling the client "hey, go over there for this content".

Konecranes contracted to supply a Goliath gantry crane to Kvaerner in Norway
The Goliath gantry crane will be in operation at Kvaerner's facilities at Stord on November 2013. The parties have agreed not to disclose the value of the order.
The ordered Goliath gantry crane will more than double the lifting capacity, from 350 to 800 tons. The span will be 153 meters and the height 115 meters. With the new Goliath crane Kvaerner will be able to conduct two topside projects in parallel, compared to one earlier.
The markets on the Norwegian Continental Shelf show a large number of new oil and gas related onshore and offshore projects coming up during 2012-2020. Kvaerner is preparing for the future growth and investing in upgrades of its facilities, and in lifting and trailing capacity, including a new Goliath gantry crane.
"The investments made into manufacturing capacity and thus to an improved productivity in the Nordic countries are very encouraging. Kvaerner is an excellent example of a successful Nordic company, which continuously develops its operations," says Jussi Rautiainen, Konecranes' General Manager, Shipyard Cranes.

Help with a sticky Graphic Punch for Button Making December 03 2013
Graphic punches are used for circle cutting. A question we get over and over is why does my graphic punch get stuck, or not work as cleanly as it should, and what can I do about it?
Usually this is caused by cutting stickers. This can can cause the punch to get sticky or gummy. There is an easy and low maintenance fix for this. You do NOT need to take it apart to clean it.
Take a piece of of tin/metal which you can buy at any hardware store, or use the shell part for a rectangle or square button if you have one. (also known as a shim.)
Just slide it in the punch where you would normally put the paper.
...and quickly insert it a few times to get rid of the gum.
This should clear off any of the stickiness and start cutting properly again. You should do this periodically to ensure the sharp cutting of your graphic punch.
Happy Punching!!

Rusty Buttons? Why do my buttons rust? Button Rust? September 20 2013
Quick question....I've been making buttons for a while now using a Tecre model 100 and their parts. I've noticed that after like 6+ months, my buttons are rusting around the inside edges when you look at them from the back....what causes this and how can I prevent it? Thanks!
Buttons are tin and will rust very quickly.
I of course don't know your specific situation but do you do outdoor events? Do you keep your buttons in plastic buckets? If on the end of a humid day you put a lid on and seal your buttons in plastic they will rust. Of course from rain but even just from humidity.
This is a good reason to save and collect those silica gel sachets that come with all kinds of products. Chuck some of these in with your buttons when you store them after a humid day and don't seal the boxes up. If you leave stuff in your car overnight or store buttons in an unheated garage get a heater and/or dehumidifier – or bring them into the house.

Button Vending Machines – Put your button sales on automatic – Gumball machines for buttons! September 07 2013
Selling your button designs in stores can be a great way to launch your button business. But buttons are a low cost item that can walk very easily if you have them in a jar or on a board. Packaging buttons is a good way to go. You can make sets of matching buttons and put them on a display card or 4 in a bag with a header card. I will be writing a separate article about button packaging in due course. Another way to ensure you don't loose buttons to pilfering is sell them using a button vending machine.
These machines are traditional gumball machines converted to take capsules. You can then add multiple buttons in a capsule or also put a special offer or a coupon code in the capsule. People enjoy putting in a coin and turning the handle to see what they are going to get. There is a nostalgia surrounding the gumball machines. Everyone remembers them from their childhood. Button vending machines work for you whilst you are somewhere else, maybe making or designing buttons, maybe at home tucked up in bed with a good book. Put your button sales on Automatic!
This is the flagship! The Beaver Meridian Gumball Machine is a very cool retro style solid metal machine in bright red and designed like a globe. I think it looks very cool. As with all these machines there are some options for the coin mechanism. You can go for a coin mechanism that takes a quarter, two quarters or even 4 quarters. If your in Canada you can have a loonie or toonie coin mechanism. You can even have 2 x $1 or 2 x $2. All these machines also have the option for TOKENS or FREE VEND options.
The above Button Vending Machine – Meridian is quite pricy ($600 – $800) and at 70 lbs it's quite expensive to ship. But there are other options:
The Northern Beaver takes 1″ or 2″ or 3″ capsules. You can fit 3 1″ buttons or magnets in a 1″ acorn capsule. You can fit 3 buttons or magnets up to 1-3/4″ in a 2″ acorn capsule. The 3″ capsules are a quarter each so I find them a bit expensive but they do take a few 2-1/4″ buttons. The 2″ acorn capsules are only 5 cents each, the 1″ acorn capsules go down to 3 cents each. I see more opportunity in those than the 3″ buttons.
The Round Beaver has all the coin mechanism options but is only available for 1″ vending capsules. The stand is also an optional extra. They sit nicely on the counter and come with fixtures for bolting down or attaching a security wire (as do all Beaver vending machines). The Round Beaver you can pickup for around $150.
Marketing and promotion options using a Button Vending Machine.
Above I'm talking about selling buttons but there are also other uses. These machines have interchangeable coin mechanisms. Those coin mechanisms can have some interesting possibilities. The FREE VEND option is a coin mechanism that requires no coin. Just turn the handle and out pops the capsule. Why is this useful?
Think of putting a machine in a local venue like an art gallery or a café. When someone turns the handle they get a free button and an ad. That ad could lead potential clients to your store, your website or to your latest special offer. A great way to get customers coming to you.
What about TOKEN VENDING? Our mechanism takes a 0.984″ token which is a pretty standard token size. You can get tokens personalised, stamped with your website or your logo. You can send a token to your mailing list, give a token out at trade shows or even walk the streets and hand out your token. It will bring people to your store or event. Event and party organisers can use tokens to distribute "random" capsules that are a kind of lottery. What about a party where you have to find the person with the matching button. The Button Vending Machine keeps the mix random.
How do I promote my website or business with a Button Vending Machine.
Depends on your business ….. but let's say you have a bicycle store for example. Come up with 5 or 10 slogans about cycling. I love my bike! Cyclists do it better! Watch for cyclists! etc. Make some cool designs, add a button or magnet business card so there are 2 buttons in the capsule. Get a Button Vending Machine with a $1 mechanism and set it up in your cycle shop. Your customers will like the slogan, buy the button and take home your business card for the fridge. If it cost a $1 they will appreciate it – If you give them away we all know how many end up in the garbage! Entertain your customers AND promote your business. The $1 coins will pay for the buttons and the machine in no time. This method can be adapted to almost ANY BUSINESS and it works.

Customized buttons online or renting a button maker and doing it yourself? September 05 2013
You're thinking of getting some customized buttons made. These maybe photo buttons with a text or buttons with your own design. If you are looking to get 100 custom buttons and pins or even 250 custom made buttons it's not really worthwhile to rent. You might as well let someone else make the buttons for you. You can easily order custom buttons online with us at People Power Press or with Button-Designer from The Button Guy.
But if you are thinking of making customized buttons, custom photo buttons or any custom buttons and pins in a quantity of maybe 500 or 1000 then renting a button maker could be a serious, easy custom button alternative. This could save you a lot of $$$$. Basically you supply the labor and the customized button design and we supply the machine and the button parts. If you have lots of time, volunteers or workers with not enough to do renting a button maker could just be the way to get your custom pins buttons at a much better price. Here are some links:
Renting a Button Maker Checkout pricing and details about renting!
Customized Buttons Checkout customized buttons from People Power Press - We can customize for you!
Custom Photo Buttons Checkout larger customized photo buttons and add text to your photo
Customized buttons online Try the free online button designer and customize your own buttons and pins!
The great thing about buttons is the low cost of the button parts if you make them yourself. If you are doing an event regularly every year then buy a button maker and you will find all kinds of occasions to get the button maker out. With standard button parts at somewhere between 6 cents and 12 cents each you can have a lot of fun with a button maker for a very small amount of money!

The invention described herein was made in the course of, or under, a contract with the UNITED STATES ENERGY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION.
This invention relates to a method and means of delivering relatively large amounts of power to a beam of particles.
An essential element of efforts to achieve controlled thermonuclear fusion is a method and means of delivering enough energy and power to a pellet of fusionable material to initiate a fusion reaction. One system that is presently under consideration in some areas involves the development and use of lasers of extremely high power to generate beams of light that can be focused on a pellet of fusionable material. Another approach that is being studied is to generate beams of electrons of relativistic energies and direct these beams at pellets. Such mechanisms of energy transfer have been added to the earlier attempts to pinch or otherwise compress or confine a plasma to achieve the necessary combinations of temperature, density, and duration to achieve thermonuclear fusion.
To date, however, there has been little serious consideration of accelerators of particles other than electrons as means for delivering energy to fusionable pellets. The reasons for this lack of consideration lie in the limitations that have been associated with the different types of particle accelerators. Electron accelerators have not been able to produce energies and densities that are within orders of magnitude of those necessary to cause fusion. Proton accelerators have the possibility of accomplishing more energy transfer than electron accelerators because of the considerably greater mass of the protons, but existing proton accelerators are also not close to being able to produce satisfactory combinations of particle density and energy and to deliver the combinations to pellets in times that are adequate to initiate fusion. Heavy-ion accelerators have the advantage that for a given velocity they have more energy available for transfer to a small target, in contrast to accelerated electrons, which can pass through a small target without transferring all their energy. However, no existing accelerator of heavy ions has achieved either energies or densities in ranges that are sufficiently high to be promising. The proposals made to date that involve accelerators of heavy ions to ignite fusionable pellets have all been speculative in that they required sources that did not exist and techniques of acceleration, transport, and focus that have not been demonstrated, and in addition used highly charged ions. Moreover, the requirement for fusion is an extremely high power or, in other words, a high value of energy per unit time that is transferred to a target particle. Neither linear accelerators nor racetrack circular accelerators seem even close to being capable of producing single beams in a range of energy and particle density that will induce fusion.
It may be appreciated that synchrotron accelerators now in existence are capable of accelerating particles to high energies and in substantial numbers. However, existing accelerators that can store particles at energies of tens of GeV are all proton accelerators. This ion energy is the minimum amount necessary to trigger controlled fusion, but it is not useful when supplied by protons because the range is too long. This means that too many protons at this energy would pass right through a target of usable size for a controlled thermonuclear reaction without interacting with molecules in the target to transfer energy. Heavy ions have a more useful range, but existing accelerators of heavy ions at adequate levels of energy produce too few ions by 5 to 7 orders of magnitude. In addition, no present accelerator of heavy ions can accelerate singly charged heavy ions to high energies.
When a synchrotron accelerator has been operated to accelerate particles, the accelerated particles are typically spread in a beam of bunches about the circumference of a ring. Extraction may then be effected by either of two schemes. First, the beam may be bumped so that a relatively small number of particles is removed from each successive bunch for a number of turns of the beam about the ring. This is called a slow spill. Alternatively, the entire beam may be extracted from the ring at a location and directed toward a target. In general, this alternative produces higher incident densities from a given accelerator, but the extraction time is equal to the time needed for one accelerated bunch to make one passage around the ring. This time is typically of the order of microseconds, and in several orders of magnitude longer than the maximum time that will be needed to transfer energy to initiate controlled thermonuclear fusion.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for accelerating charged particles and delivering them to a target in a range of energies and densities that will be capable of causing thermonuclear fusion of a pellet.
Other objects will become apparent in the course of a detailed description of the invention.
An apparatus for accelerating heavy ions to high energies and delivering them in high densities and short times to a target includes a source of singly ionized heavy ions, an accelerator receiving and accelerating the singly ionized heavy ions, a storage ring receiving, accumulating, and circulating bunches of accelerated singly ionized heavy ions, means for dissociating the heavy ions to singly ionized ions of single atoms, and means for stripping the singly ionized atoms to completely ionized atoms and switching the completely ionized atoms into a plurality of beams that impinge upon the target. In various embodiments of the invention a sychrotron is interposed to accelerate particles and a plurality of storage rings is used to store particles or to accelerate and store particles.

FIG. 8 is an expanded view of one of the rings of FIG. 7.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an accelerator for the practice of the present invention. In FIG. 1, ion source 10 generates ions for injection into linear accelerator 12. The ions that are produced by ion source 10 should have a mass greater than 100 atomic mass units and should be capable of ready ionization to a unique state of ionization. That is to say, it should be possible to achieve a large percentage of ions that have the same charge. These ions are then accelerated in linear accelerator 12 and are injected into synchrotron 14 where they are accelerated to a high energy, of the order of 8 GeV or higher. Linear accelerator 12 may include a pre-accelerator such as a Cockroft-Walton accelerator. Accelerated ions are extracted from synchrotron 14, either immediately or following some storage, and are transported by beam line 16 to storage ring 18. If the ions are of compounds rather than of atoms, they must be subjected to the effects of dissociator 20. a system for dissociating the compound into a uniquely ionized ion of a relatively heavy element such as iodine and the unionized atom such as hydrogen with which it was formerly bound as a compound. Such atoms of compounds are here referred to as molecular ions, while ions of individual atoms are here referred to as atomic ions. The term "uniquely ionized" is defined to mean ionized to a particular predetermined level of ionization. The uniquely ionized ion of the heavy element is then stored in circulation in storage ring 18 which is thus loaded by a plurality of pulses of ions that have been accelerated in synchrotron 14. While one synchrotron 14 is shown here, it may also be desirable to use a plurality of accelerators 14, a plurality of storage rings 18, or both. It is thus possible to achieve in storage ring 18 a circulating beam having a total number of particles that is many times the number that can be accelerated in one cycle by synchrotron 14.
At a given time and following a given scheme, the ions that are circulating in storage ring 18 are switched into a plurality of beams 22 that are aimed at a target 24, typically a pellet of fusionable material. The plurality of beams 22 is directed to illuminate target 24 over a substantial part of its surface from a plurality of directions at essentially the same time. By means of the combination of the synchrotron 14, storage ring 18 and plurality of beams 22, it is possible to achieve incidence on target 24 of a plurality of beams having the energy of synchrotron 14 but a particle density that is much in excess of the particle density that can be produced in a single beam from synchrotron 14. The process by which a plurality of particle beams 22 is directed simultaneously at target 24 is indicated schematically in FIG. 1. Succeeding figures will indicate various embodiments for achieving the same end.
FIG. 2 is an alternate embodiment of the accelerator of the present invention. In FIG. 2, an ion source 10 generates ions that are coupled to linear accelerator 12, accelerated, and injected into synchrotron 14. As before, linear accelerator 12 may include a pre-accelerator if necessary. Accelerated ions are conducted through beam line 16 to storage ring 18. As in FIG. 1, a dissociator 20 may be used if the heavy ions are molecular ions that are to be dissociated into atomic ions. As before, storage ring 18 accumulates accelerated particles during a plurality of cycles of synchrotron 14 or from more than one synchrotron 14. At a predetermined time, the beam in storage ring 18 is deflected from storage ring 18 into beam 26 in a time during which the ions circulate once around storage ring 18. In the embodiment shown, the transfer from storage ring 18 to beam 26 is accomplished by stripping the ions circulating in storage ring 18 of their electrons so that they bend in a much smaller radius than in the singly charged state in which they were stored. Other means of accomplishing this transfer without change of charge are well known. Beam 26 then enters switch yard 28, an array of switching magnets that is calculated to select from a plurality of available directions that sequence of directions that will cause target 24 to be struck by a plurality of beams at the same time. To accomplish this, a plurality of bending magnets 30 is disposed to create a different path length for each beam so that whatever beam is switched first in switch yard 28 will follow the longest path. Later beams are switched into progressively shorter paths so that when all the beams are focused upon target 24 by lenses 32 the target will be struck simultaneously from a plurality of directions. FIG. 2 illustrates four beams incident upon target 24, but this number is selected for illustration only. The number of beams chosen is a readily calculable function of the size of target 24, the amount of focus obtainable with lenses 32, the desired number of directions of incidence upon target 24, and the desired density of energy incident upon target 24.
FIG. is an alternate embodiment of an apparatus for taking beams from a storage ring and causing the beams to be incident essentially simultaneously on a target from many directions. In FIG. 3, storage ring 18 contains a circulating beam of heavy ions that has been loaded in the manner illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2. In FIG. 3, storage ring 18 is connected to a plurality of beam lines 34 that carry switch beams substantially radially inward toward a target located in chamber 36. This plurality should equal a submultiple of the number of bunches of charged particles that circulates in storage ring 18. The beam lines 34 proceed for some distance in the plane of storage ring 18 but are bent in various directions as they approach chamber 36. The objective of the bending is twofold: first, to illuminate the interior of chamber 36 substantially equally from a plurality of directions and second, to create paths of equal length so that bunches switched simultaneously from storage ring 18 arrive simultaneously at chamber 36 to couple to and heat a target therein. The number of beam lines 34 is a design choice based upon the number of bunches in the beams, the dimensions of storage ring 18 and the space that is necessary to accomplish switching from storage ring 19 into the beam lines 34. Such switching takes a certain amount of space, as will later be made apparent. A nominal figure for the numer of beam lines 34 is 100.
FIG. 4 shows an idealized version of the conditions inside chamber 36 of FIG. 3. A target 24 is located at the center of chamber 36 and a plurality of beam lines 34 is seen to enter chamber 36 to approach target 24. As before, target 24 may be a pellet of fusionable material. Each beam line 34 is focused by a lens 38 which is typically a quadrupole focusing magnet, although electrostatic lenses or a combination of electrostatic and magnetic lenses would also suffice. The objective is to achieve a very high energy density incident on pellet 24 in a very short time and the lenses 38 permit an increase in beam density while minimizing the resulting defocusing tendency during most of the length of beam lines 34. FIG. 4 indicates the entry of four beam lines 34 directed at the pellet 24 and the four beam lines are seen in this view to be coplanar. This is a simplification for purposes of illustration. As actually constructed, chamber 36 will receive approximately 100 beam lines 34 that are so directed as to illuminate pellet 24 substantially uniformly over its entire surface. Figure of 100 beam lines is an arbitrary one that is of the correct order of magnitude for supplying particles in the necessary range of densities and in a sufficient number of directions to provide uniform illumination of a pellet 24.
FIG. 5 is a view of a unit section of the storage rings of FIGS. 3 and 4. In FIG. 5, vacuum chamber 40 is directed in a ring pattern to contain a circulating beam 42 of singly charged atoms of a substance such as iodine. Bending and focusing magnet 44 provides a static magnetic field directed to contain circulating accelerated atoms in beam 42 by focusing the beam and by bending the beam as necessary. Magnet 44 may be superconducting or normal and is designed to keep beam 42 in a desired location while beam 42 circulates about a storage ring. Magnet 44 will typically be a combination of one or more dipole magnets and one or more quadrupole magnets with the dipole magnets primarily bending the beam and the quadrupole magnets primarily for focusing. The equilibrium path of beam 42 is directed to miss foil 46 which extends across a portion of the interior of vacuum chamber 40. Extraction of the beam from vacuum chamber 40 is initiated by applying a pulse to kicker magnet 48, a rapidly acting dipole magnet typically having a ferrite core. Kicker magnet 48 causes an inward kick of beam 42 which causes beam 42 to strike foil 46, stripping electrons from the singly charged ions in beam 42. Foil 48 may be made of metal, with titanium being a particularly effective choice, or of an organic polymer. Extraction steering magnet 50 causes a sharp bend in the path of stripped ions in contrast to the relatively slight deviation that it introduces in the path of those ions that do not strike the foil. Fully stripped ions are bent by extraction steering magnet 50 into beam line 52. They are subjected to further bending by bending magnet 54 and focusing magnet 56, each of which represents one or more magnets, as many as is necessary to accomplish the desired amount of bending and focusing. It is possible, though not necessary, to combine with focusing magnet 56 a vacuum retention means 58. This may be either an orifice or a foil that permits passage of the beam while retaining all or almost all of the system vacuum for isolation and pumping efficiency.
FIG. 6 is an expanded view of a portion of a plurality of the unit sections of FIG. 5. FIG. 6 is shown without the presence of bending magnets and kicker magnets and is indicated schematically in a straight line for clarity. FIG. 6 is also shown in two views to indicate the functions of the extraction sections of both extracting the beam and of diverting unwanted particles during circulation. In FIG. 6, vacuum chamber 40 contains a beam 42 of singly ionized atoms of an element such as iodine. FIG. 6A shows the beam 42 during filling and circulation. Foils 46 are thin annular sheets of metal or an organic material disposed to miss the circulating beam of singly ionized ions. During filling and circulation beam 42 may experience some degradation as a result of collision of pairs of singly ionized ions to produce double ionized ions and neutral atoms. Such particles will follow the paths indicated as 60 and 62 in FIG. 6A. When these unwanted particles strike the next foils 46 that are in their paths, they will be stripped of all their electrons leaving completely ionized ions which are then deflected as shown into the extraction ports 64 from which they are removed from circulation.
Switching to extract beams from the storage ring is indicated in FIG. 6B, in which the beam 42 has been pumped by a kicker magnet. The bumped beam 42 is deflected outward on a path that causes it to strike foil 46. Collision with foil 46 strips all the electrons from the circulating beam, causing it to be deflected into the next sequential extraction port 64. All kicker magnets are energized at essentially the same time to start extraction simultaneously at each deflection port. This allows dumping of the entire beam in a time equal to the transit time between two adjacent extraction ports 64, in contrast to the shortest extraction time in a normal accelerator, which is the time for one bunch to traverse the entire ring. It can thus be seen that the extraction time is divided by the number of extraction ports, and the particle density per unit time incident on a target is correspondingly increased.
FIGS. 7 and 8 show an alternate embodiment of the invention. FIG. 7 is a diagram of an accelerator with multiple rings and FIG. 8 is an expanded view of a single ring of FIG. 7. In FIGS. 7 and 8, source 70 supplies singly ionized heavy ions to a linear accelerator 72. The criteria for selection of the ions is that they should have a relatively high mass and an ionization state that is sufficiently separated from adjacent ionization states to make it relatively easy to ionize a large percentage of ions to that unique state. Linear acceleration 72 receives and accelerates ions in the unique state. As before, those ions may be molecular or atomic ions. If they are molecular, such as singly ionized hydrogen iodide, it will be desirable to dissociate them to leave singly ionized ions of a relatively heavy element such as, in this case, iodine. Such dissociation will not be necessary if the ions are atomic such as, for example, singly ionized uranium. If dissociation is necessary, it will be carried out in connection with first bumping magnet 74. First bumping magnet 74 is operated under the control of magnet controller 76 to carry out several functions. The first such function is to load ring 78 with uniquely ionized heavy ions. If the original input from source 70 was an atomic ion, then no dissociation is necessary and first bumping magnet 74 need only shift the beam of incoming accelerated ions sufficiently to direct the beam into ring 78. If the incoming beam is of molecular ions, then first bumping magnet 74 must shift the incoming beam to a dissociator 80. This is a region in which the accelerated particles encounter a dissociating means such as a laser beam or a strong electric field that is sufficient to dissociate the molecular beam into an accelerated beam of singly ionized heavy ions which are injected into ring 78 and a neutral atom that is trapped out.
The second function of bumping magnet 74 after a ring 78 is loaded to deflect a beam of accelerated particles to a succeeding bumping magnet 82. A plurality of bumping magnets 82 functions in the same way to load a plurality of rings 84. The loading process is under the control of magnet controller 76 so that the rings 78 and 84 are loaded in an order chosen by an operator. Rings 78 and 84 may either be storage rings that keep particles at the energy level to which they have been accelerated before or they may be accelerating rings receiving particles at one energy level and accelerating the particles to a higher level before storing them. In either case, ring controller 86 is connected to each of the rings 78 and 84. Whether or not the rings 78 and 84 serve to accelerate, they will in any case store accelerated particles that are loaded over a period of time. To extract these particles, extraction controller 88 is connected to an extraction magnet 90 in each of the rings 78 and 84. Extraction controller 88 is operated so as to extract accelerated particles fromeach of the rings 78 and 84 and direct them for essentially simultaneous arrival at a target 92. All of the paths of particles are maintained under a high vacuum under the influence of vacuum system 94. The result of the system of FIGS. 7 and 8 is to direct at target 92 a number of charged particles of high energy arriving from a number of directions in a very short time. Such a flux of particles is intended to achieve an amount of energy transfer in a period of time that reaches the levels necessary to cause controlled thermonuclear fusion of an amount of fusionable material placed at target 92.
The dissociator 20 of FIG. 1 and dissociator 80 of FIGS. 7 and 8 are indicated schematically because means for dissociation are well known. It is necessary only to supply enough energy to overcome the bonding energy of the molecular ions. This may be done with a laser beam, a high electric field, or the like. If the efficiency of dissociation is high enough to produce dissociation of upwards of 95% of the molecular ions, then a simple dissociator will be adequate. If, on the other hand, dissociation efficiency drops much beyond 95%, it will be necessary to recirculate undissociated molecular ions through the dissociator. This is most easily accomplished through a well-known means of a bypass storage ring. In such an application, the dissociator will discharge three types of particles. First, it will produce the dissociated singly ionized heavy ion, singly ionized iodine in the example used here, and the unionized atom that was associated with the heavy ion, here, unionized hydrogen. In addition, undissociated ions will pass through the dissociator. They could be discarded along with the unionized hydrogen, but may also be separated by mass and switched to a bypass storage ring that will circulate them for another trip through the dissociator. The bypass ring may return undissociated ions to the dissociator after one trip around the bypass ring, or it may be constructed with a separate bypass loop to permit recirculating storage of undissociated ions before they are returned to the dissociator. These means are described generally because they are well known to persons skilled in the design and development of particle accelerators.
The only restriction stated thus far on particles to be accelerated is an atomic mass in excess of 100. However, reference has been made to hydrogen iodide and iodine as the molecular ion and atomic ion, respectively. This choice is approrpriate because the relatively large difference between the first and second ionization potentials of hydrogen iodide makes it relatively easy to achieve single ionization of a high percentage of the atoms of hydrogen iodide. This is of value because molecular ions that are ionized to levels other than the unique one chosen for the first acceleration will be lost for further use. The large difference in ionization potentials for hydrogen iodide reduces the probability of ionization to unwanted levels. It should be apparent, though, that this is only one consideration in the selection of ions. Others include the mass and the cross-section for collisions. These represent variables for manipulation by the designer. In principle, any atom or molecule that exceeds 100 atomic mass units can be used to practice this invention.

Justice Minister Judith Collins says retired Canadian judge Ian Binnie got it wrong over crucial fingerprint evidence in the David Bain murder trials.
In Parliament this afternoon, Collins gave two examples of what she believed were ''assumptions based on incorrect facts'' and a misunderstanding of New Zealand law in his report.
She said there were "many" problems with the report, which was being peer reviewed by Robert Fisher QC.
Binnie relied on an ''incorrect understanding'' of a scientist's evidence, she told MPs.
''Justice Binnie asserts that a named scientist testified at the first trial that he had chemically enhanced the prints and later sought to resile from this," said Collins.
''The reference to chemical enhancement was actually an error on a label attached to a fingerprint and this was explained as such by a scientist at the [2009] retrial.''
Collins said Binnie did not take into account the correction.
During the re-trial, defence lawyers also asserted that the fact that evidence [from the original case] was no longer available could be interpreted adversely. Binnie wrongly assumed this was correct, Collins said.
Collins was responding to questions from Labour's justice spokesman Charles Chauvel.
Earlier today Collins revealed Binnie went "well beyond" the terms of reference laid down by former Justice Minister Simon Power.
"I would have thought that was a pretty basic thing to get right," she said.
"I read it from cover to cover and I had deep concerns."
She was also worried that individuals who gave evidence were criticised in Binnie's report - and not given the opportunity to respond.
"There is also issues around the understanding of the law of evidence in New Zealand... there is quite a long list of concerns... anyone who is a lawyer would have concerns."
Both the Attorney-General Chris Finlayson and Solicitor-General Michael Heron shared those concerns and agreed the report should be reviewed.
Collins will receive a peer review from Robert Fisher QC either today or tomorrow.
"I am giving very careful consideration to the repeated requests from Mr Bain's supporters and also now from former justice Binnie that I release the reports," she said.
She says they need to be released together.
"Mr Bain and his supporters have obviously got a lot of concerns and I think they are very worried about the process and I want to be as transparent as possible."
Yesterday she lashed Binnie's report for containing assumptions based on incorrect facts and a misunderstanding of New Zealand law.
But she also said he criticised individuals who gave evidence in the Bain trial - and gave them no recourse to respond.
"There are comments that have been made ...Now that we've had Justice Binnie come out and make statements which are very unfortunate, accusations that I was running a political process."
She said it was "very demeaning" for him to make the comments but didn't want to get into a ''slanging match'' with Binnie.
And she defended Heron from "extraordinarily unfair" attacks by Binnie, stressing he was not involved in the Bain legal proceedings.
Bain deserved a fair process - "and that's what I'm trying to deliver for him," she said.
Binnie bit back this morning, calling for his report to provided to Bain and made public.
It was a "curious feature" of the Bain case that all "external" judges who have looked at the case have rejected the arguments of the Solicitor General and the Crown Law Office regarding David Bain's guilt, he said.
He is understood to have suggested that Bain was innocent beyond reasonable doubt.
Bain is seeking compensation for his wrongful conviction and arrest. He spent almost 13 years in jail but was aquitted at a retrial in 2009.
He stands to get almost $2 million - but the Government is not legally obliged to pay out.
Collins has said she was hoping to release the report to the public by the end of the week.

At first glance, Cody Grice wouldn't be the most obvious candidate to jump two levels. He went a long way to validating that promotion Wednesday.
The Yankees prospect homered twice and drove in six runs, both career highs, as Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre topped Rochester, 10-7.
It was a night of firsts for Grice, as his first 2013 longball was a first-inning grand slam, the first time he had done that since being drafted in the 10th round of the 2010 Draft. Four innings later, the Michigan native hit a two-run blast.
"I'm not much of a home run hitter, but I just had a good approach and got some pitches that were up," Grice said. "It's a first for me. That was my first-ever grand slam. It felt very good, especially because I was able to help the team win."
Grice opened the year at Class A Advanced Tampa, batting .196 in 21 games for the Yankees before making the jump to the International League. The main reason for the promotion was the lack of healthy bodies in the RailRiders outfield.
"When they told me I was coming up here, I was as surprised as anyone else," the 23-year-old said. "I was just happy that I got the word. I came up here to do my best to get better and help the team out."
Since joining the RailRiders, Grice is batting .258 and has eight RBIs in 10 games. He had five RBIs in 21 games for Tampa.
"It's been great," Grice said. "I've learned a ton. The guys on the team are great, they make me feel pretty welcome. It's not like I'm walking around on egg shells. It's been really good experience for me.
"I feel like I've been getting better. It's just been battling every at-bat to try and do something productive. I feel like I've been seeing a lot of pitches and feel like I've proved with every at-bat how comfortable I am."
Grice entered play Wednesday with two homers in 107 career Minor League games.
JR Murphy was 3-for-5 with a homer and two runs scored for the RailRiders.
Dellin Betances, the Yankees' No. 17 prospect, improved to 5-4 with three perfect innings of relief.
Doug Bernier was 3-for-4 with a triple and four RBIs for Rochester.
