Title: Synchronising multiple IQ demodulators via phase adjustment
Inventor: DOMINGUEZ DAVID
IPC: H04L27/22
Filed: 2013-05-16
Abstract: Phase controllers 18 synchronise the channels (16) associated with respective multiple In-Phase and Quadrature (IQ) demodulators (12) according to a phase detector (20) and a system clock (24) located at different distances from the demodulators. The phase controllers 18 (eg. a Phase-Lock Loop PLL) regenerate the system signal 26 as a synchronised signal 28, one of which is selected as a reference phase signal (30), and the phase detector 20 then determines which of the output signals 28 are out of phase with the reference and sends a phase-adjusting control signal 32.

Title: Automated beam check
Inventor: GORDON DAVID
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2014-09-17
Abstract: A method of performing a routine to check the operational state of a mass spectrometer comprises generating and detecting ions using an internal ion source located within a vacuum chamber of the mass spectrometer or within a chamber downstream from an atmospheric pressure interface. A control system automatically determines whether or not the mass spectrometer is in a correct operational state, for example by determining whether ions are detected with the desired mass to charge ratios, mass resolution or mass position. If the mass spectrometer is not in a correct operational state, it may be automatically retuned or recalibrated. Control parameters, voltages or signals may also be adjusted, reset or resent. The routine may be initiated as a start-up routine upon switching on the mass spectrometer, automatically at a predetermined service interval, or by a remote service engineer who is not physically present at the mass spectrometer.

IPC: B60L11/18
Filed: 2015-10-09
Abstract: The alignment of a vehicle 1 (e.g. EV, HEV, PHEV, hybrid vehicle, etc.) with a wireless charging device 3 is assisted by obtaining image data via an image obtaining means (e.g. camera 5) of a region proximate the vehicle and processing the image data to search for one or more predetermined optical characteristics of the wireless charging device in the image data to identify a wireless charging device in the region proximate the vehicle. A visual representation of the image may be visible to a vehicle operator who may provide a user input indicative of the location of the wireless charging device in the visual representation, which is taken into account during processing of the image data. In the event that the processing of image data fails to identify the wireless charging device in the region proximate the vehicle, the location of the wireless charging device is determined according to the user input. A vehicle path is determined between a present location of the vehicle and a location in which it is substantially aligned with the wireless charging device and a visual representation of the vehicle path is displayed. A warning may be provided upon substantial deviation from the determined vehicle path.
