Title: Connector assembly with lever to facilitate engagement and disengagement
Inventor: OHTAKA KAZUTO
IPC: H01R13/627
Filed: 2006-04-18
Abstract: A connector assembly 1 comprises a first connector 2 having a lock arm 15 and a second connector 3 having a lock projection 26 which engages with the lock arm. A lever 4 is provided on one of the connectors, rotation of which in one direction moves the first and second connectors into engagement. Rotation of the lever in the opposite direction causes movement of a release member 5 for releasing the lock arm from the lock projection to separate the first connector from the second connector. A fitting hold member, which may be in the form of a space (A, Fig. 16), prevents the first and second connectors being disengaged until the lock arm is disengaged from the lock projection. The first and second connectors may be moved into engagement by a projection 33 provided on the lever which cooperates with a groove 27 provided on the other connector. Electrical terminals 25 are shown in Figures 3, 7, 11 and 15.

Title: Measurement of the mobility of mass-selected ions
Inventor: SANDERS IAN
IPC: H01J49/26
Filed: 2008-03-17
Abstract: The invention relates to methods for measuring the mobility of mass-selected ions in gases at pressures of a few hectopascal and to the corresponding apparatus. The invention consists of selecting the ions under investigation in a quadrupole filter according to their mass-to-charge ratio m/z, measuring their mobility in a drift region at a pressure of a few hundred Pascal under the influence of a DC electric field and then filtering them again by means of a quadrupole field in order to rule out, or detect changes in, the mass-to-charge ratio. Particularly favourable embodiments for drift regions are presented, in which the ions are kept in the axis of the drift region by RF fields. As these drift regions can also be utilized for a collision-induced decomposition of the ions, the device can additionally be used as a so-called triple quadrupole mass spectrometer.
