Title: Ion trap and method for detecting ions in an ion trap
Inventor: NICHOLAI SALOVICH
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2021-12-08
Abstract: A method for detecting ions in an ion trap 10 comprises: providing ions to the ion trap; applying a RF storage signal to a first, e.g. ring, electrode 18 of the ion trap, wherein the amplitude and/or frequency of the RF storage signal is modified; applying an excitation signal to the ions in the trap; detecting an image current signal induced to a second 14 or third electrode 16, or differentially therebetween, by oscillation of the excited ions; and applying an FFT to the detected image current signal to detect the ion oscillation while recovering the modified signal correctly. Preferably, the RF drive voltage is periodically modulated with a frequency lower than the passband lower limit of a charge amplifier/detector 24 connected to the second/third electrode. The method allows the removal of ghost peaks from the detected signal as, unlike the actual ion peaks, said spurious electrical signals due to unwanted coupling paths are unaffected by the modulation of the storage voltage.

Title: Beer dispenser
Inventor: JASON TAN
IPC: B67D1/08
Filed: 2022-02-03
Abstract: A beer dispenser has a cover body 13,14, a beer delivering device 12, a beer tap 15, and a waste liquid recovery device 16. The beer delivering device 12 comprises a beer delivery pipe surrounded by two cooling lines (e.g., delivering and returning coolant in a circulatory system); a thermal insulation layer encapsulates these pipes.

This increases the degree of thermal insulation. During manufacture, the beer conveying pipe and the cooling pipes are connected by a fixing hoop, and then that assembly can be put into a mould and integrally injection-moulded with polyurethane foam. The cover 13,14 may be U-shaped 17.

Abstract: A camera system 1 with an image pickup unit 16, which uses a facial tracking system 13 to detect an observation direction of a user, which is used to select a small region (125, Fig. 11A) to crop out of a wide-angle image (121, Fig. 11A). The system can also detect and correct the direction and the recorded image for deviation of the camera relative to the user’s body (Figs. 24A, 24B), perhaps based on the position of the user’s throat and chin (9206 and 9207, Fig. 27). In cases of high deviation, the recorded image may be enlarged. The tracking system may also detect head roll (Figs. 30A, 30B) and adjust the captured image (Figs. 33A, 33B), and may filter out jaw movements due to exercising, eating or talking, by filtering the head angle (Fig. 36A) and perhaps a microphone. There may be an alarm to warn the user when the camera deviates too much or too often. There may be a calibrator, (850, Figs. 22B and 41B) where the image from the camera is displayed (4001, Fig. 41B) along with an index (851, Fig. 41B) which the user is to line up inside a mark (4302, Fig. 41B).
