Title: Electron ionization (EI) utilizing different EI energies
Inventor: KERNAN JEFFREY T
IPC: H01J49/14
Filed: 2014-05-08
Abstract: A method of mass spectrometry comprises irradiating a sample with an electron beam at a first electron energy to produce first analyte ions, transmitting the first analyte ions to generate a mass spectrum corresponding to the first electron energy, adjusting the electron energy, irradiating the same sample or a different sample with an electron beam at a second different electron energy to produce second analyte ions, and transmitting the second analyte ions to generate a second mass spectrum corresponding to the second electron energy. A spectral library may be built by storing correlation data which correlate each mass spectrum with the electron energy used to generate the spectrum. The electron energy for each analyte may be optimised or selected to generate a high abundance of target analyte ions or reduced fragment ions. The sample may comprise peaks eluting from a chromatographic column. An axial electron ionisation source which produces an ion beam coaxial with the electron beam is also disclosed.

Title: Object detection
Inventor: PETER JOSEPH STEGGLES
IPC: G01S5/04
Filed: 2016-05-05
Abstract: The presence of an object 22 in a zone 12,13,14 is detected by means of a wireless detector 15-20 located proximal to the zone. The wireless detector comprises an orientation sensor (e.g. accelerometer, magnetic field sensor) for sensing the spatial attitude of the detector. A solid angle is defined relative to a first spatial reference plane, the solid angle being defined such that at least part of the zone is within that solid angle when the solid angle is projected from the location of the detector. The detector detects a wireless signal from the object, and thereby estimates the direction of the object from the detector with reference to a second spatial reference plane fixed relative to the detector. The orientation sensor senses the spatial attitude of the detector. The solid angle and the estimated direction are compared in dependence on the sensed spatial attitude so as to determine whether the object is present in the zone. The method can be used to track tools on a production line.

Title: Video data processing system
Inventor: Fredrik Peter Stolt
IPC: H04N19/59
Filed: 2016-06-10
Abstract: A method of encoding sequential frames of video data where, when it is desired to encode 106 a new source frame which has a different resolution to another frame which is to be used as a reference frame, a scaled 104 copy of the another frame is generated which is scaled to the resolution of the new source frame. The scaled copy of the another frame is encoded, preferably using the original another frame. The new source frame is encoded using the scaled copy of the another frame. This encoded video data is then sent to a decoder which uses the scaled copy of the frame as the reference frame to decode the video image data. Preferably the scaled copy of the frame is not displayed. There are also related apparatus and system claims.

Title: Rotary pulser and method for transmitting information to the surface from a drill string down hole in a well
Inventor: DANIEL E BURGESS
IPC: E21B47/18
Filed: 2013-03-22
Abstract: A rotary pulser for transmitting information to the surface from down hole in a well by generating pressure pulses encoded to contain information. The pulser includes a rotor having blades that are capable of imparting a varying obstruction to the flow of drilling fluid through stator passages, depending on the circumferential orientation of the rotor, so that rotation of the rotor by a motor generates the encoded pressure pulses. A spring biases the rotor toward the stator so as to reduce the axial gap between the rotor and stator. When the pressure drop across the rotor becomes excessive, such as when increasing drilling fluid flow rate or switching from a high data rate to a low data rate transmission mode, the spring bias is overcome so as to increase the axial gap and reduce the pressure drop across the rotor, thereby automatically reducing the thrust load on the bearings.
