Title: Method for targeted trace analysis with RF ion mirror
Inventor: ANATOLY VERENCHIKOV
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2016-11-25
Abstract: The method of high resolution MS-only, tandem MS-MS and MS-N targeted analysis is proposed to be implemented in a low cost apparatus comprising a gaseous ion guide, single quadmpole mass filter (QMF), and a radio-frequency (RF) ion mirror. The ion mirror either have RF and DC quadrupolar fields being substantially matched to QMF quadrupolar fields, or DC signal to the QMF is witched off after a preset mass separation time. The selectivity of the target analysis is expected to improve at higher QMF resolutions obtained at repetitive mass filtering or at longer QMF separation times. Longer separation times are to be obtained either by ion reflection into QMF, or by injecting ions at low energies, achieved by pulsed ion admission into an RF-only pre-filter, followed by slow bias ramping to sequentially release narrow ion energy fractions.

Title: Apparatus for removing a joystick grip
Inventor: MICHAEL STOFFERS
IPC: G05G1/06
Filed: 2019-01-15
Abstract: A joystick including a mechanism for facilitating the changing of a grip assembly. An actuation mechanism 410 moves a ram 408 into a position where the operator can press down on a locking pin 208 to release the grip assembly 108. The ram 408 will be in a default position that does not interfere with the operations of the joystick during normal operation.

Title: Synaptic weight transfer between conductance pairs with polarity inversion for reducing fixed device asymmetries
Inventor: Geoffrey Burr
IPC: G06N3/08
Filed: 2018-11-19
Abstract: Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are a distributed computing model in which computation is accomplished with many simple processing units, called neurons, with data embodied by the connections between neurons, called synapses, and by the strength of these connections, the synaptic weights. An attractive implementation of ANNs uses the conductance of non-volatile memory (NVM) elements to record the synaptic weight, with the important multiply— accumulate step performed in place, at the data. In this application, the non-idealities in the response of the NVM such as nonlinearity, saturation, stochasticity and asymmetry in response to programming pulses lead to reduced network performance compared to an ideal network implementation. A method is shown that improves performance by periodically inverting the polarity of less-significant signed analog conductance-pairs within synaptic weights that are distributed across multiple conductances of varying significance, upon transfer of weight information between less-significant signed analog conductance-pairs to more-significant analog conductance- pairs.

Title: Augmented reality messaging system
Inventor: YUE WANG
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 2020-07-07
Abstract: Displaying (e.g. on a transparent display) content in augmented reality (AR) comprises obtaining augmented image data of an environment (e.g. via an operating system API or device native layer), the data comprising image data augmented with depth information. A display surface and its orientation is identified within the augmented image data. Content data representing the content is configured (e.g. scaling, focussing, setting a viewing perspective) using the identified surface and its orientation to align and orient the content with the surface, and the configured content data and the image data is displayed such that the content appears to be present on the display surface. The augmented image data is captured from the environment using camera(s) and LiDAR scanner(s) which may be aligned using motion sensors. The content may be a received, downloaded or generated message, or may be text, picture or video. Identifying the display surface may involve determining a display surface from received or stored data and searching the augmented image data for that display surface.
