Title: Gas turbine engine vane splitter
Inventor: NEIL HARVEY
IPC: F04D29/54
Filed: 2015-12-23
Abstract: A gas turbine engine duct 100 comprises a plurality of radially extending stator vanes 300, and a generally circumferentially extending splitter vane 400 provided between two neighbouring stator vanes.

Patent GB-2537739-A (GB)
Title: Absorption mode FT-IMS
Inventor: DAVID J LANGRIDGE
IPC: G01N27/62
Filed: 2016-03-18
Abstract: A method of ion mobility spectrometry comprises modulating the introduction of the ions into an ion mobility separator 3 at a first frequency. The transmission of ions from the ion mobility separator to the detector 5, or the detector output, is modulated at a second frequency. The modulations may be effected by applying AC voltages to entrance gate 2 and exit gate 4. The first and second modulation frequencies are varied with time and the intensity of the modulated signal is recorded as a function of the modulation frequency. A Fourier transformation is performed on the data in the modulation frequency domain to produce complex spectral data having real and imaginary parts. Absorption spectral data representative of an absorption spectrum of said complex spectral data is produced and used to determine the ion mobilities of said ions. The absorption spectrum may be the real part of the complex spectral data when all signals have zero phase.
