Title: Method of overcoming space charge effects in ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometers
Inventor: BAYKUT GOEKHAN
IPC: H01J49/34
Filed: 2007-12-17
Granted: 2012-07-18
Abstract: In an ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer in which ions are trapped axially by applying electrical potentials to a pattern of electrode elements to produce an inhomogeneous alternating radio-frequency electric field with a repulsive effect, an additional electrostatic ion-attracting field is superimposed on the repulsive electric field. The voltage of the ion-attracting field is adjusted to compensate for a cyclotron frequency shift of the ions caused by the ion space charge. The voltage of the ion-attracting field can be adjusted so that the ion cyclotron frequency of all ions becomes independent of the number of ions inside the spectrometer.

Granted: 1973-05-30
Abstract: The chair back is reclined independently of movement of the footrest which is operated by a handle. Detents associated with the handle mechanism allow the footrest to be extended and retracted into any four positions including fully extended, fully retracted and two intermediate positions. As the back is reclined, the seat and arms which constitute a unit, are first tilted to a predetermined "bucketing" angle by the locking mechanism, forward rocking is inhibited then rearward rocking is also prevented by the novel locking mechanism. The locking mechanism mounts on the underside of the cam frame, between the cams and works off a torque tube that moves angularly about its long axis as the footrest is operated and which moves forward and upwardly and rotates angularly as the chair back is reclined. The seat and frame unit also move forwardly and upwardly as the chair is reclined. In the preferred form, the chair is a platform rocker; it may also be mounted on a swivel platform rocker base. The back is provided with tapered sleeves which fit over tapered tongues on the mechanism to allow the chair to be shipped knocked down, and then set-up. The footrest includes two sections which store one behind the other when retracted, then move to coplanar relationship as the footrest is extended to its first position to provide greater extension. The lazy tongs action of the footrest extending and retracting part of the mechanism is skewed to permit exposed front rail and/or high leg styling for the base. The design of the mechanism permits a particularly cushioning seat filling to be used.

Abstract: The engine drives the vehicle through a gearbox (7). An auxiliary gear (5) takes a drive to a hydraulic machine (8) which can work as a pump or a motor. At normal engine operation the hydraulic machine raises the pressure in an oil reservoir (10). When various sensors (19-23) detect that the engine is idling and the oil reservoir is full a solenoid (13) is energised to close the slow running jet (14) in the carburettor and the hydraulic machine works as a motor to drive the vehicle. As soon as full load running is required again the controls operate to reverse the hydraulic machine and restart the internal combustion engine.
