Abstract: An ion mobility separator (4) and a method of separating ions according to their ion mobility are disclosed. An RF ion guide is provided having a plurality of electrodes (8) that are arranged to form an ion guiding path that extends in a closed loop. RF voltages are supplied to at least some of the electrodes (8) in order to confine ions within said ion guiding path. ADC voltage gradient is maintained along at least a portion of a longitudinal axis of the ion guide, wherein the voltage gradient urges ions to undergo one or more cycles around the ion guide and thus causes the ions to separate according to their ion mobility as they pass along the ion guide. The closed loop ion guide enables the resolution of the ion mobility separator to be increased without necessitating a large device, since the drift length through the device can be increased by causing the ions to undergo multiple cycles around the device.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for determining characteristics to be exhibited by a sound phrase. A user draws traces on an input device indicating characteristics, such as duration and direction, of sounds such as sounds to be captured by a microphone array. In response to the user inputs, signals from the microphone array are processed to produce a signal exhibiting the characteristics. The signal is stored to create a sound phrase, and the sound phrase may later be played. Additional inputs may be received specifying a direction from which the sound phrase is to be played, or playback may come from a default direction. Further inputs may be received during playback to control characteristics of the playback. In addition to specifying characteristics to be imparted to recorded or stored phrases, user inputs may specify characteristics for generated sounds or may specify characteristics to be exhibited by sounds being played.

Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes techniques for providing a mechanism to manage referrals for applications shared over a social network service when granted permission by users of the social network service. For example, a server system receives a message including user association information and an indication of a software application, and publishes a post to a subset of users as indicated by the user association information. The server system also receives a request for a version of the software application from a second user and determines whether the post was re-shared by a third user. If the post was re-shared, the server system stores in a database of the computing system, a referral association between the third user, the second user, and the software application. If the post was not re-shared, the server system stores a referral association between the first user, the second user, and the software application.
