Title: Mass spectrometry with increased duty cycle
Inventor: MARTIN RAYMOND GREEN
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2017-04-13
Abstract: Methods of mass spectrometry are disclosed comprising: applying voltages to a mass filter or ion trap such that it is capable of transmitting or ejecting ions having mass to charge ratios within two or more separate mass to charge ratio windows; varying said voltages with time such that said windows are moved simultaneously across different ranges of mass to charge ratios; detecting ions transmitted in the windows, or ions derived therefrom; and deconvolving the resulting ion signal by: a) modelling an ion signal expected to be detected; b) comparing the model signal to the detected ion signal; and c) determining if the model signal matches the detected signal. The mass filter/ion trap may be a notched mass filter (6, Fig. 3) to which a notched broadband frequency signal 10 is applied so as to cause the majority of ions, apart from those ions with resonant frequencies corresponding to two or more frequency notches 11a, 11b & 11c, to be resonantly ejected from the filter.

Title: Brake discs
Inventor: DAVID EGGLESTON (DECEASED)
IPC: F16D65/12
Filed: 2017-04-13
Abstract: A brake disc has a rotor 20 formed from a first material having a friction ring 24 annular about an axis of rotation 26 and an axial tubular flange 28 extending from the friction ring. A hub 22 is cast over the flange to encapsulate at least a portion of a flange and then is shrink fit thereon. The hub is formed of a second material which has a lower density, lower melting point, and a higher coefficient of thermal expansion than the first material. The flanges wall permits differential thermal contraction of the hub in an axial direction when the hub solidifies and cools. This may be achieved by smoothing the flange wall prior to casting the hub, thereby allowing the hub to retract along the walls without geometric resistance, thus minimizing retained stresses. The flange wall may vary in diameter or thickness along its axial extent and may have a screw thread. The first material may be iron and the second material may be aluminium or an alloy thereof. Also disclosed is method of manufacturing said brake disc via casting. Also disclosed is a brake disc with an axial flange with inner and outer threads of opposite handedness.

Title: Method for determining a consensus sequence of a target polymer
Inventor: Christopher James Wright
IPC: G16B30/10
Filed: 2019-05-21
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of determining a consensus sequence of a target polymer comprising polymer units, the target polymer can be a strand of DNA. The method includes obtaining a first sequence taken from a signal relating to the target polymer and obtaining a second sequence taken from a second signal relating to the target polymer. A multiple sequence alignment is constructed from the plurality of sequences. A machine learning technique is used to determine the consensus sequence of the target polymer exclusively from the multiple sequence alignment and the differences between the sequences derivable therefrom. Optionally, the signals can be obtained during translocation of a polymer through a nanopore and measurements are dependent upon the k-mers in the nanopore, a k-mer being k polymer units of the polymer.
