A rotary dosing device for use in analytical instrumentation quickly transfers a sequence of precise molar quantities of gas from a primary stream into a secondary stream. The device has a rotating chamber with dosing ports that cycle through three states: fill, equilibrate, and transfer. The device cycles in an overlapping manner such that as one dose volume fills with gas from the primary stream, another equilibrates at a known pressure and temperature, and another transfers its contents to the secondary stream. The device initiates its operation so that the first transfer in a sequence is a properly filled and equilibrated dose from the primary stream. Rather than cycling a single dose volume through the three states multiple times, the overlapping operation of the rotary doser enables multiple precise molar quantities of gas to be transferred in one-third the time.

A robotic arm includes a base, a first robotic arm, a second robotic arm, a robotic hand and a cigarette holder connected in sequence. The cigarette holder includes a cigarette insertion hole and a cigarette smoking tube. The cigarette smoking tube is connected to a smoking simulator. The robotic arm further includes at least one air exhausting hole. The air exhausting hole is located around the cigarette holder and communicated with an air exhauster through an air exhausting pipe. The robotic arm swings to control the cigarette holder to carry a cigarette from a smoking position to an ash flicking position. Airflow is formed near the air exhausting hole by means of air exhaustion, so as to simulate influences of a wind speed in an outdoor environment on the columnar ash in the cigarette smoking process of the human body.

The invention relates to a system and to a method for separating into at least one of liquid and gas phase compounds contained in a sample. The system comprises: an oven (D1) for heating in an inert atmosphere according to a sequence of temperatures, a first experimental setup (M1) connected to oven (D1) when it is in operation, comprising circulating the effluent resulting from heating in an inert atmosphere towards collection of (U) this effluent, a second experimental setup (M2) connected to first experimental setup (M1) when the oven is no longer in operation, comprising vacuum circulation (PI, P.G., TP) of the effluent collected by the first setup towards (T1, T2) which separate the collected effluent into at least one of liquid and gas phases.

The present invention concerns an analytical method that makes use of an oxygen-containing source having a predetermined content of an isotope of oxygen .sup.ZO, which is not the same as natural composition and distribution of oxygen isotopes, to detect and/or quantify oxygen in oxidizable compound(s). The analytical method allows detecting and/or quantification with relatively high precision and accuracy oxygen in oxidizable compound(s), even at low content. The method is easy to implement and can be used for in-line analysis.
