Title: Quadrupole devices
Inventor: DAVID GORDON
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2019-02-15
Abstract: A quadrupole is operated in first and second modes of operation, wherein ions within first and second mass to charge ratio ranges are selected or transmitted respectively. In the first mode, the quadrupole device is either operated with a main RF or AC drive voltage and an optional resolving DC voltage, or it is operated in a first X-band or Y-band mode wherein a main RF or AC drive voltage and two or more auxiliary RF or AC drive voltages are simultaneously applied to the electrodes. In the second mode of operation, the quadrupole device is operated in a second X-band or Y-band mode wherein a main RF or AC drive voltage and two or more auxiliary RF or AC drive voltages are applied. By switching modes of operation, the resolution of the quadrupole device may be altered in dependence on the mass to charge ratio range selected or transmitted. Different calibration functions may be used in the first and second modes of operation respectively.

IPC: H01J49/40
Filed: 2019-04-17
Abstract: A method suitable for the operation of a time-of-flight mass spectrometer, and corresponding apparatus, the method comprising the steps of pulse ionizing a sample on a sample support 13, for example by matrix-assisted laser desorption (MALDI), where the desorption beam is deflected from an axis 21 of the ion source for part of the time in order to sweep a sample surface. Ions are accelerated using diaphragms 14, 15 which act as ion-optical lenses, wherein at least one of the diaphragms 14, 15 is subdivided into a plurality of segments supplied with asymmetrical voltages. The voltages are harmonised with the deflection of the desorption beam, such that ions which are produced in a desorption beam spot off the axis are accelerated in phase into an ion beam by a lens centre off the axis, which acts in the diaphragm, said ion beam running parallel 26 to the axis 21. The parallel ion beam 26 can be brought back onto the axis 21 by x/y deflection unit 16a, 16b, 17a, 17b.

Filed: 2021-11-18
Abstract: A method for modifying a user interface for a computer involves determining attributes of a source object, e.g. metadata of a file 110, identified by a user in connection with a user input for storing the source object. Attributes of one or more target storage locations, e.g. folders 103-109, are determined.

The prediction is made using a machine learning model such as a neural network that predicts the target storage location and associated confidence value based on the attributes of the source object. A plurality of target storage location usage patterns are determined. The user interface is modified based on the predicted target storage location. A line 220 may be rendered between the file being saved and a predicted folder, with the line width being proportional to the confidence value.
