Title: Faims apparatus and method for separating ions
Inventor: GUEVREMONT ROGER
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2003-07-10
Abstract: A high field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometer (FAIMS) for separating ions, and a method therefore. The FAIMS includes an electrode sta ck (24) having a length and comprising a plurality of electrodes (26, 28). Each electrode of the electrode stack is spaced apart from an adjacent electrode in a direction along the length of the electrode stack, and each electrode of t he electrode stack has an edge that defines a portion of an edge of the electro de stack. At least an electrode (22) is spaced apart from the edge of the electrode stack in a direction approximately transverse to the length of the electrode stack, the space between the at least an electrode and the edge of the electrode stack defines an analytical gap (20) for allowing ions to propagate therebetween. Ions are separated as they move through an electric field within the analytical gap resulting from the application of an asymmetric waveform voltage to alternate electrodes of the electrode stack a nd application of a direct current voltage to at least some of the electrodes o f the electrode stack and to the at least an electrode.

Abstract: A caulking gun has a tubular chamber (9) to surround sleeve-like rigid tubes (10) and compressible sausage type containers containing viscous materials including sealants, adhesives, caulking, mastics and the like. When rigid tubes (10) are loaded into the chamber, compressed gas is allowed to surround the sleeve and a plunger (80) loaded within the rigid tube (10) to equalize pressure around the outside of the rigid tube (10). If a sausage type container is loaded into the chamber (9), a removable plunger (80) is also provided to form a tight seal between the perimeter of the plunger and the inner surface of the chamber (9). Compressed gas introduced into the chamber (9) preferentially acts on the plunger (80) and an underlying end wall of the sausage to expel the material, without imparting any significant pressure to other parts of the sausage. The caulking gun includes a variable flow rate nozzle (20) which may be removed from the device. The nozzle (20) may be replaced with similar or different nozzle pieces of various shapes and sizes, if desired. Hand operated controls vary the flow rate through the nozzle and control introduction of compressed gas when in use. These features may be incorporated into other portable, hand held dispensing devices powered by other pressurized fluids.
