Title: Mass spectrometric Ion storage device for extremely different mass ranges
Inventor: CARSTEN STOERMER
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2012-09-19
Abstract: The invention proposes the generation and superposition of two multipole fields of different order, completely independent of each other, in an RF multipole rod system with at least eight pole rods. For example, in one embodiment (Figure 6), it is possible to jointly store low-energy electrons in a central RF quadrupole field generated by a two phase supply (HFG1), and multiply charged heavy positive ions in an RF octopole field created by application of a single phase RF voltage to the remaining rods, thereby allowing ions to fragment by electron capture dissociation (ECD). In a different embodiment, multiply charged positive analyte ions and suitable negative reactant ions can react with each other in an octopole field by electron transfer dissociation (ETD), and the fragment ions can subsequently be formed into fine ion beam by transition to a quadrupole field. A mixture of hexapole and dodecapole fields is also possible.

Title: Sensor for use in imaging applications
Inventor: JAMIE WARNER
IPC: H01L41/312
Filed: 2018-11-19
Abstract: In methods of imaging a subject such as a small animal in a clinical setting using cardiac and respiratory gating techniques to compensate for motion, including MRI and CT scans and PET, a piezoelectric material and transparent conductive nanomaterial together are utilised to detect movement of the subject and transmit a signal of detected motion to a user. A transparent conductive nanomaterial such as graphene can transmit an electric signal from a piezoelectric material such as a piezoelectric polymer such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) or polymer-composite material, replacing metal electrodes, as well as being fabricated sufficiently thinly to be transparent to the electromagnetic radiation used in the imaging techniques. The sensor may comprise a piezoelectric material film and one or more electromagnetically transparent conductive nanomaterial films applied to the upper and lower surfaces of the piezoelectric film. A sensor is placed in contact with a subject, and an image of a region of the subject, such as a body part or entire body, is obtained with an imaging apparatus at a time interval between breaths or heartbeats of the subject. The sensor may be formed by forming a graphene film by chemical vapour deposition to a substrate; applying a polymer scaffold film such as poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) to the graphene film by spin coating; removing the polymer scaffold film and graphene film by etching; applying the graphene film and polymer scaffold layer to each side of a piezoelectric film; and removing the polymer scaffold layer.
