Title: A heavy ion accelerator
Inventor: FREEMAN JAMES HARRY
IPC: H05H5/00
Filed: 1992-09-07
Abstract: A heavy ion accelerator incorporates a charge exchange cell 9 (fig. 3), 12 (fig. 4) which is negatively biased and is located between a source of positive ions 8 (fig. 3), 11 (fig. 4) and a target chamber 10 (fig. 3), 14 (fig. 4). Both the ion source and the target chamber are maintained at earth potential. The positive ion beam, thus generated, accelerates due to the voltage V4 and is converted to negative ions, as it passes through lithium vapour within the change exchanger cell, and is further accelerated due to the fall in potential on reaching the target. Therefore, since there are two stages of acceleration, V4 need only be raised to a potential which is half that which would be required to obtain the bombardment energy necessary. <IMAGE>

IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 1993-04-21
Abstract: A method is disclosed for operating an ion trap mass spectrometer in the mass selective instability mode with resonance ejection in such a way as to distinguish resonantly ejected ions from non-resonantly ejected ions. A supplementary AC field is super imposed on the three-dimensional quadrupole trapping field and the combined fields are scanned to resonantly eject ions of consecutive mass-to-charge ratio. The ejected ions are detected and the output signal of the resonantly ejected ions has a frequency component at the frequency of the supplementary AC field. A method of processing the output signal to provide a mass spectrum, including a "sum-squares" method, is disclosed. More than one supplementary AC field at different frequencies may be superimposed to form the combined fields. <IMAGE>

Title: Motion vector post-processor
Inventor: KAWADA RYOICHI
IPC: G06T7/20
Filed: 1995-07-24
Abstract: Motion vectors generated in a motion estimator 1 are stored in a memory 2, and their magnitudes are calculated in a magnitude calculator 3. Magnitude data is fed to an order statistics filter 4. The filter 4 detects the serial number of a motion vector (for instance third motion vector) less than a magnitude at the center among a plurality of (for instance nine) input motion vectors and outputs corresponding serial number data to the memory 2. The memory 2 outputs the vector corresponding to the input serial number data to a field interpolator. According to the invention, it is possible to provide a motion vector of an area containing small movement as motion vector of a block containing mixed movements. <IMAGE>
