Title: Combination of control interfaces for multiple communicating domains
Inventor: DOMINIC BROWN
IPC: G06F1/32
Filed: 2016-03-18
Abstract: The application is for a combiner 3, or state machine, that is used to control when a cross domain component 4, or a bridge, goes into a quiescent, idle, or sleep, state. The combiner is connected to two or more power domain controls 2A and 2A, which are connected to two separate power domains 1A and 1B, or supplies. These power domains are connected via the cross domain component, which has a bridge slave 7A and a bridge master 7B. The controllers will send a request signal to the cross domain component via the combiner to go into a quiescent, or idle, state, and depending upon its status, the combiner will accept or deny the request. There is also a second invention where the cross domain component is put into a quiescent state if either power domain is in a quiescent state, and is only active when both power domains are active, and a third invention where the controllers request for the cross domain component to exit a quiescent state.

Title: Redundant links for reliable communication
Inventor: GAYLORD YU
IPC: H04W84/12
Filed: 2016-06-29
Abstract: In order to maintain performance during wireless communication, a transmitting electronic device 110 transmits a data stream redundantly and concurrently using at least two different radios / network interface circuits, 116-1, 116-2. Each of the different radios has its own antenna and operates using a wireless local area network (WLAN) protocol. Each transmitting radio uses a different channel from the other. The packets transmitted by the radios preferably include the same information. The transmitting device transmits an instruction indicating which channels the radios are using. The transmitting electronic device may attempt to maintain the redundant communication if a performance metric associated with the one or more channels degrades. For example, the transmitting electronic device may switch one or more of the channels used to provide the redundant communication to an unused channel or the level of data compression applied on at least one of the channels may be adjusted. The concurrent communication allows the determination of link quality without disrupting the communication of the information.

Abstract: An interferometric scattering microscope 1 suitable for medical use with biological samples, such as proteins, viruses or nanoparticles, has a sample holder 2, an illumination source 4, a detector 5, an optical system which directs illuminating light onto the sample and directs both light reflected and scattered from the sample to the detector and a spatial filter 20 which produces a greater reduction in intensity of light within a predetermined numerical aperture than at larger apertures. The predetermined numerical aperture may be the numerical aperture of the illuminating light reflected from the sample location. The spatial filter may reduce intensity within said numerical aperture to 10-2 of the incident intensity or less. The illuminating light may be spatially and temporally coherent. The optical system may comprise a beam splitter arranged to split the optical paths for the illuminating light and the output light, the spatial filter being part of the beam splitter. A spatial filter as used in the microscope and method of adapting an interferometric scattering microscope to produce the microscope above are also claimed.

Abstract: A non-parametric method of, and system for, dimensioning an object of arbitrary shape, captures a three-dimensional (3D) point cloud of data points over a field of view containing the object and a base surface on which the object is positioned, detects a base plane indicative of the base surface from the point cloud, extracts the data points of the object from the point cloud, processes the extracted data points of the object to obtain a convex hull, and fits a bounding box of minimum volume to enclose the convex hull. The bounding box has a pair of mutually orthogonal planar faces, and the fitting is performed by orienting one of the faces to be generally perpendicular to the base plane, and by simultaneously orienting the other of the faces to be generally parallel to the base plane.

Title: Controlling ion temperature in an ion guide
Inventor: MARTIN RAYMOND GREEN
IPC: H01J49/06
Filed: 2017-08-25
Abstract: An ion guide 10 comprises a control system arranged to apply one or more voltages to confine ions radially within the ion guide. An orthogonal DC field is applied along a portion 14 the ion guide to control the temperature of the ions as they travel through the ion guide, for example by displacing the average path taken by ions in a radial direction. An electrostatic driving potential (e.g. DC travelling wave potential or other transient DC potential) is applied to urge ions along the axial length of the ion guide and control the transit time or amount of heating experienced by the ions. The amplitude of the orthogonal DC field may be varied to achieve a desired temperature for selected ions. The ion guide may be a stacked ring ion guide or segmented multipole ion guide. The disclosure may provide a way of selectively removing weakly or covalently bound adduct molecules from ions.
