Title: Apparatus and method for static gas mass spectrometry
Inventor: JOHANNES SCHWIETERS
IPC: H01J49/28
Filed: 2016-06-06
Abstract: A method of static gas mass spectrometry comprises introducing a sample gas comprising two or more isotopes into a static vacuum mass spectrometer at a time t0. An electron impact ionisation source is operated with a first electron energy below the ionisation potential of the sample gas from time t0 to time t1, and is operated with a second electron energy at least as high as the ionisation potential of the sample gas after time t1. The isotopes of the sample gas may equilibrate in the mass spectrometer during the time period from t0 to t1. A constant ion source temperature may be maintained by regulating the filament heating current of the electron impact ionisation source. Mass analysis of the isotopes is preferably carried out after t1 and the best fit of each measured isotope intensity with time may be extrapolated to time t1 in order to calculate an isotope ratio of the sample gas.

Abstract: A plate-shaped body component such as a floor pan for a motor vehicle has a planar core zone 28, a planar edge zone 18 and a first intermediate zone 21. There is at least one step 22 between the edge 18 and intermediate 21 zones and at least one further step 25 between the intermediate 21 and the core 28 zones. Relative to the intermediate zone, the core zone and edge zone are displaced in opposite directions normal to the plane of the intermediate zone (e.g. core zone is above, and edge zone below the intermediate zone). A further intermediate zone 26 and another step 27 may be provided. First intermediate zone 21 may form a ring around core zone 28. Each step provides a deflection d of up to 6mm and the total deflection of the core zone relative to the edge zone is at least 8mm.
