Title: Method of controlling an internal combustion engine
Filed: 2012-04-30
Abstract: The invention provides a method of controlling an exhaust system 270 of an internal combustion engine 110, wherein the method comprises a calibratÂ­ing procedure of an oxygen sensor 435 located in the exhaust system. The calibrating procedure comprises the steps of: measuring a plurality of values P1...Pn of a parameter indicative of a pressure in the exhaust system; measurÂ­ing, through the oxygen sensor, a value O1...On of a parameter indicative of an oxygen concentration in the exhaust system during the measuring of each value of the pressure parameter. A correction value is calculated using each measured value of the oxygen concentration parameter and a predetermined reference value thereof; the correction value represents a deviation between the measured value of the oxygen concentration parameter and the reference value. Each calculated correcÂ­tion value and each corresponding measured value of the pressure parameter are used to determine a correction function CF representing the variation of the correction value over the variation of the pressure parameter.

Title: Mass spectrometer ion storage device for extremely different mass ranges
Filed: 2012-09-19
Abstract: The invention relates to devices and methods for the storage of ions in mass spectrometers. The invention proposes the generation and superposition of two multipole fields of different order, independent of each other, in an RF multipole rod system. In an embodiment with eight pole rods, for example, it is thus possible to jointly store low-energy electrons in a central RF quadrupole field, which effectively acts only on electrons and holds them together radially, on the one hand, and multiply charged heavy positive ions in an RF octopole field, which effectively acts only on the ions, on the other hand, in order to fragment the positive ions by electron capture dissociation (ECD). In a different embodiment, multiply charged positive analyte ions and suitable negative reactant ions can react with each other in an octopole field by electron transfer dissociation (ETD) with a high fragmentation yield, and the fragment ions can subsequently be bundled by a transition to a quadrupole field to form a fine ion beam, which can leave the multipole rod system axially. A mixture of hexapole and dodecapole systems is also possible.
