Title: Transporting device position determining apparatus and method
Inventor: DAVID BROWN
IPC: B65G1/04
Filed: 2019-03-07
Abstract: A control unit 100 and method to control movement of a device which transports containers within a storage facility. The containers are stored in a plurality of stacks and the facility has a number of pathways arranged in cells to form a grid-like structure above the stacks. The control unit and method both calculate the position 102 of the transportation device based on information received 101 from a sensor 200 located on the transportation device 600. This allows for the devices to be driven at faster speeds and/or accelerations with minimal positional errors allowing for a reduction in spacing. Both the control unit and method can both use barcodes and images of the grid-like structure. They may also have multiple sensors 300, 400, 500 which are located on different faces of the transporting devices. These sensors can also be used to determine the orientation of the device.

Title: Desorption ion source with dopant-gas assisted ionization
Inventor: CHRISTOPH HAUKE MANFRED BOOKMEYER
IPC: H01J49/16
Filed: 2021-07-27
Abstract: A device to generate ions from a deposited sample comprises a chamber 10 arranged to keep the deposited sample in a conditioned environment comprising a dopant gas. A desorption device 22 desorbs the deposited sample using an energy burst (e.g. a pulsed laser ablation beam 24). An ionization device irradiates the desorbed sample using coherent electromagnetic waves 28 or expose it to an electric discharge, a plasma, or an arc discharge with broadband emission spectrum, which are chosen such that the dopant gas is receptive to them. This may bring about ionisation via photochemical excitation of the dopant gas molecules and subsequent charge transfer to desorbed sample molecules 30. Ions are then extracted from the desorbed sample and transferred into an analyzer (e.g. an ion mobility or mass analyser). The dopant gas may be a polar aprotic solvent, a polar protic solvent or a non-polar solvent. A buffer gas with low reactivity may be admixed with the dopant gas before the mixture is fed into the chamber.
