Title: A tandem mass spectrometer with spatially separated mass selector and mass analyser
Inventor: FRANZEN JOCHEN
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2009-04-28
Abstract: A tandem mass spectrometer with spatially separated mass selector and mass analyzer including a cell for fragmentation by electron transfer dissociation (ETD). A three dimensional radio frequency ion trap (3D RF ion trap) is used in the tandem mass spectrometer for the desired fragmentation of biopolymer ions, instead of the linear two-dimensional RF ion trap which so far has been used exclusively for ETD. The fragment ions are then extracted from the 3D ion trap and preferably introduced into a high precision mass analyser. Surprisingly, the 3D ion trap produces a substantially better quality of fragment ion spectra than the 2D ion trap, at least in the case of fragmentation by electron transfer. In addition, the tandem mass spectrometer with the 3D ion trap is also much more sensitive for ETD fragment ion spectra than a 2D ion trap.

Filed: 1945-05-21
Abstract: 590,845. Gas producers. FALLON, J. May 21, 1945, No. 10077. [Classes 51 (i), 51 (ii) and 55 (i)] [Also in Group XXX] In a gas producer the rate of ash discharge is automatically governed by means controlled by the temperature of the ash zone and is also co-related to feeler means for determining the operation of the fuel supply mechanism. A chamber a water jacketted at a<1> stands on a base b, which encloses a revolving conical grate c, mounted on idle rollers and driven by a motor h through transmission e. A thermostat or thermocouple g, located in the ash zone in a tube f, determines, through a relay control instrument, the speed of the motor h or other motor operating the pug screw j, which ejects ash into the delivery pipe k. The hopper l feeds through a multi-campartmental drum m, which is intermittently rotated by linkage with a spindle o and feeler plate n. The spindle o is suspended with a sleeve p from the free ends of a chain q passing over a sprocket wheel r, which is attached to a power driven spindle s by the crank s'. The sleeve p on its downward stroke contacts a rocker arm t, which by means of an arm v, link rod w, arm x and pawl and ratchet drive y rotates the drum m discharging one compartment. The collar u keyed to the spindle o returns the rocker arm t on its upstroke and if the level of the fuel bed is above normal prevents the rotation of the charging drum by stopping any movement of the arm t and its link mechanism. The air blast discharging under and through the grate c is automatically regulated by a valve z' in the inlet pipe z, the said valve z' being controlled by a thermostat in the furnace fired by the producer.
