Title: Generating ions from a gas bonded to a cooled surface
Inventor: SCHLUETER HANS-JUERGEN
IPC: H01J49/28
Filed: 2004-05-07
Abstract: A mass spectrometer 10, in particular a static mass spectrometer, comprising an ion source 12, ion optical system 13 and a mass analyser 14. The ion source includes a cooled surface (see 19 in figures 3 and 4). Analyte gas introduced to the spectrometer via valve 18 is cooled by the surface (19), bringing about a concentration of the gas particles at the surface so that ionisation at this location generates a higher ion current. The gas is preferably cooled only to the extent that diffusion movements of the gas particles bonded to the surface are possible. However, cooling of the gas until a liquid or solid state of aggregation is reached is also envisaged. Ionisation may take place by laser irradiation, electron impact, or preferably by field ionization, in which case the cooled surface may comprise an array of microstructured field emitters (see figure 3).

Title: Secure communication using the two highest prime numbers of a selected code as encryption keys
Inventor: DEZONNO ANTHONY
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2005-05-31
Abstract: The method for creating communication encryption keys for use over a communications channel comprises the steps of: selecting a code number for a user or web browser; selecting the two highest prime numbers, excluding 1 and the code number itself, in the code number; determining if each of these prime numbers is greater than the square root of the code number; and, if so, establishing with a web server two communication encryption keys equal to the two highest prime numbers. The code number may be, e.g., the telephone number of the user. The method may be used as an additional encryption stage if it is deleted that conventional encryption for a channel (e.g. HTTPS for web browsers) has been compromised. The encryptions method used with the generated keys may be RSA, DES, PGP etc.
Patent GB-2439989-A (GB)
Title: Correlator for signal or noise classification
Inventor: FRATILA ADRIAN
IPC: H04B3/23
Filed: 2005-06-01
Abstract: To reduce the number of multiplication and addition steps, in determining an average correlation coefficient, an accumulator generates an accumulated output combining two or more differently delayed components derived from a first input, and a dot product multiplier makes a dot product of the accumulated output with a second input. By pre-adding the differently delayed versions, the number of multiplications and additions can be reduced. For multiplications the reduction is from NxN to N where N is the number of coefficients. This has applications in speech detection, echo cancellation, image processing and others where speed and efficiency of calculation is important.
