Title: A mass spectrometer compensating ion beam fluctuations
Inventor: JOHANNES SCHWIETERS
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2018-12-21
Abstract: A mass spectrometer comprises a mass analyser 12 (e.g. a quadrupole mass filter) for selecting ions having different ranges of mass-to-charge ratios in different respective time periods, and a downstream detector 13 for measuring the quantities of the selected ions in each of the time periods. A second upstream detector 15 measures a total intensity of the ion beam as a function of time. The second detector may comprise a skimmer, an entrance slit, an aperture or an ion lens with an opening for passing the ion beam therethrough. The signals from the first detector is normalised using the signals from the second detector, e.g. by dividing the signals at a corresponding time period. By compensating for fluctuations of ion beam current 20, the invention may improve high precision isotope and elemental abundance measurements using a single collector in which the mass-to-charge ratios of the ions are detected sequentially.

Patent GB-2579120-A (GB)
Title: Inference system
Inventor: JOHN PAUL LESSO
IPC: G06N5/04
Filed: 2019-08-29
Abstract: An inference system 10 comprises a neuron 12 receiving data 16 and a weighting signal, and outputting a signal 18 based on these. A weighting refresh circuit 14 repeatedly retrieves a weighting value from memory 20 at a dynamic or adjustable refresh rate and outputs a weighting signal to the neuron. Also claimed are inference systems whose outputs depend on the product of an input and a synapse weighting factor. In one system, an accuracy control adjusts the synapse’s output accuracy. Alternatively, a refresh circuit retrieves a weighting value from digital memory, applies a weighting signal to weighting storage, and repeatedly refreshes the storage at a dynamic/adjustable rate. In a further system, weighting signals in storage elements define analogue weighting factors. A refresh circuit retrieves weighting values from digital memory and applies corresponding weighting signals to storage elements. A controller adjusts the refresh circuit’s refresh rate. Also claimed is a neuron circuit wherein a controlled current source outputs a weighting current dependent on a control voltage. The weighting current is output to an accumulation node via a switch controlled by a data signal. A second switch periodically closes and opens to connect and isolate a weighting signal source and storage.

Data processing operations are performed in response to received instructions, wherein the data processing operations comprise an atomic range-compare-and-modify operation, which receives indications of a data value storage location, a range start, and a range size and, as an atomic set of steps, reads a base value stored at the data value storage location, determines an in-range condition to be true when the base value is within a request range having a lower bound being the range start and an upper bound being the range start plus the range size, and when the in-range condition is true, modify the base value to an updated base value. Reduced contention between processes accessing the same data value storage location and range of locations is thus supported
