Title: Ion source for a mass analyser and method of providing a source of ions for mass analysis
Inventor: BAJIC STEVAN
IPC: G01N27/62
Filed: 1997-04-29
Abstract: An ion source for a mass spectrometer operating at a low pressure has an atmospheric pressure sample, e.g. an electrospray source 2 or an atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation source, which provides a sample flow containing desired sample ions. These ions are usually entrained with undesired gas and droplets. An interface chamber 4 is held by a vacuum pump at a pressure between atmospheric and the operating pressure of the mass spectrometer 10. Sample ions with entrained gas are collected through an entrance orifice 5 forming a stream of gas into the interface chamber 4. Sample ions exit the interface chamber through an exit orifice 7 to the mass spectrometer. The interface chamber disrupts the stream of gas entering the interface chamber to provide a dead region 20 having no net gas flow direction and the exit orifice 7 is located in this dead region. The exit orifice 7 should have no line of sight path to the entrance orifice 5 or should be at least 30 off the flow axis of the stream entering the interface chamber through the entrance orifice. A flow disrupting pin 8 may be located in the interface chamber to disrupt the flow of the stream of gas entering through the entrance orifice.

Title: Local frequency correction
Inventor: UDA YOSHIHIDE
IPC: H04L7/04
Filed: 1997-06-27
Abstract: Frequency correction of a local oscillator (110) is performed by first checking whether synchronization is acquired with respect to the received signal and, when the synchronization has been acquired, performing a frequency correction twice at different timing within a synchronization section. The frequency correction corrects the local frequency so as to reduce the error of the local frequency with respect to the frequency of the received signal. The received signal includes an initial synchronizing portion followed by data in each frame. The above checking and correction may occur in each consecutive frames. The oscillator may form part of a transceiver.
