Title: Mass spectrometry system and method
Inventor: YOSHINARI KIYOMI
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2014-01-24
Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a mass spectrometry system that can acquire a higher resolution mass spectrum as the mass number of ions increases. In this mass spectrometry system, a control unit (8) controls a mass spectrometry unit (4) such that a direct current voltage (U), high-frequency voltage amplitude (V), and high-frequency voltage frequency (f), which are applied to a quadrupole electrode (13) increase as the mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) for ions to be analyzed increases. With this control, the greater the mass number of the ions is, the more the ion frequency increases when passed through the inside of the mass spectrometry unit (4); therefore, a higher resolution mass spectrum can be acquired.

Title: A digital low pass filter
Inventor: CHARLES HENRY PICKERS
IPC: H03H17/04
Filed: 2015-08-28
Abstract: A second-order recursive digital filter comprises three stages of computation 601-603 and requires only three adders 604, 606, 617 and two multipliers 611, 613. The input signal and a filter scaling factor are supplied to the registers 502, 503. The contents of the output register 618 and an intermediate result register 612 are fed back to the registers 501 and 504. The filter may be simplified (figure 8) when K is the reciprocal of a power of 2, as only two pipeline stages are then required and the multiplications may be achieved by bit shifting. The filter may be used in an audio mixing console to smooth changes in audio channel gain so that artefacts due to a sudden gain change are avoided.  The filter circuit may be time-interleaved so that it can filter the gain signals for many channels.  The scaling factor K may depend on whether the fader has been increased or decreased and it may proportional to the rate of change of gain.

Title: Accurately extracting information based on orthogonal images
Inventor: Sunil H Madhani
IPC: H04N5/232
Filed: 2012-04-18
Abstract: Instructions are provided to a user to acquire a first image of a target location on a document using an imaging device in a first orientation, and to acquire a second image of the target location using the device in a second orientation (110) (e.g. 90° difference). Multiple images of the document are captured (112) (e.g. without user input) after the user acquires the first and before the user acquires the second. The images are then stored (114) (e.g. with timestamps or spatial-position information), and a signal indicating the second instance of acquisition is received (116). In response to the second image acquisition, one or more of the first image, the second image and at least a subset of the images are analysed (118) (e.g. using OCR) to extract the information proximate to the target location on the document. The spatial-position information (e.g. position and orientation data) may be stored with the images, and be provided by a sensor (e.g. accelerometer or gyroscope) integrated into the device. The images may be captured at a rate based on the spatial-position information. Analysis errors may be identified (120) based on data format associated with the target location, and corrected (122).
