N.W., Washington, D.C.
Docket Number: 95-078. Applicant: University of California, Davis,
Exercise Science Department, 264 Hickey Gym, Davis, CA 95616.
Instrument: Nitrogen Analyzer, Model N2-TEST. Manufacturer: Erich
Jaeger, Germany. Intended Use: The instrument will be used to measure
nitrogen concentration in rebreathed air containing 100% oxygen in
order to determine residual lung volume to provide a more accurate
assessment of the percentage of body fat in humans by subtracting from
weight loss in underwater weighing. Application Accepted by
Commissioner of Customs: August 29, 1995.
Docket Number: 95-081. Applicant: University of Rhode Island,
Graduate School of Oceanography, South Ferry Road, Narragansett, RI
02882-1997. Instrument: ICP Mass Spectrometer, Model Element.
Manufacturer: Finnigan MAT, Germany. Intended Use: The instrument will
be used for studies of oceanographic, geological and atmospheric
samples that will be analyzed for a wide range of elemental and
isotopic abundances. In addition, the instrument will be used in a
graduate level course in Marine Isotope Geochemistry to expose students
to the fundamentals of isotopic tracers used in chemical oceanography.
Application Accepted by Commissioner of Customs: August 30, 1995.
Docket Number: 95-082. Applicant: University of Maryland at College
Park, Institute for Plasma Research, 1202K Energy Research Facility,
College Park, MD 20742. Instrument: Pulsed Surface Plasma Source and
Power Supply. Manufacturer: Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, CIS.
Intended Use: The instrument will be used to produce very high quality
ion beams required to advance the present state-of-the art of ion
project lithography. Application Accepted by Commissioner of Customs:
August 30, 1995.
