Title: Mass spectrometers and methods of ion separation and detection
Inventor: WEBB BRIAN CHRISTOPHER
IPC: H01J49/40
Filed: 2010-11-10
Abstract: A mass spectrometer operating according to the iso-tach principle in which a mass filter accelerates ions to nominally equal velocities irrespective of their mass-to- charge ratios. The mass spectrometer is provided with an improved detector based on an electrostatic lens arrangement made of a concave lens followed in the beam path by a convex lens. These lenses deflect ions away from the beam axis by a distance from the beam axis that is inversely proportional to their mass-to-charge ratios. The mass- to-charge ratio of the ions can then be determined by a suitable detector array, such as a multi-channel plate placed in the beam path. This provides a compact and sensitive instrument.

Inventor: STORY LANE
IPC: G06Q50/02
Filed: 2013-04-29
Abstract: A method for the compensation of landowners for tangible economic effect on their enjoyment of their land caused by third party industrial access. A computer software determines the compensation amount based upon agreed parameters between a landowner and at least one industrial user, and the compensation at this agreed level can then be paid. By using pre-determined parameters and formulae, the efficiency of land access situations can be maximized and disputes avoided to the greatest degree possible. The land owner and industrial user(s) could opt in to a mandatory method whereby the calculation method of the present invention was used to establish a mandatory prescribed compensation amount. Certainty and speed in these transactions is thus created and maximized.
