Patent GB-2552878-A (GB)
Title: Efficient ion trapping
Inventor: MARTIN RAYMOND GREEN
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2017-05-25
Abstract: An ion trapping system provides an ion trapping region which has a larger dimension orthogonal to an ion entrance axis or exit axis than parallel to the entrance or exit axis. Ions are caused to spread out within the trapping region thereby reducing the local charge density. An ion urging system (fig 8) may urge ions within the trapping region orthogonally to the entrance or exit axis. Alternatively, ion deflectors (9, 10) may deflect ions such that ions enter the trapping region at different locations or different speeds orthogonal to the entrance or axis. The ion trapping region may be annular and the ion deflector may comprise an inverted ion funnel (7, fig 9). The ion trapping region may have a pressure of ≥ 0.01 mbar. In a separation invention, an ion trapping system provides an ion urging system adapted to translate a transient DC voltage from an ion entrance to an ion exit, wherein the force it applies to the ions towards the exit decreases as the transient DC voltage travels towards the exit (fig 14). This alleviates space charge effects near the entrance whilst avoiding excessive space charge effects near the exit.

Title: A pressurised oil reservoir device
Inventor: ALLAN KAMINSKI
IPC: F01M1/16
Filed: 2018-03-22
Abstract: A method and apparatus that includes use of a pressurised oil reservoir 16 to provide an oil supply to an internal combustion engine component when the engine is off. The arrangement includes the oil reservoir, a flow restrictor 18, and a one-way valve 14. The oil reservoir is in liquid connection with a main oil gallery 10 via the flow restrictor and the one-way valve, and fills with oil when the engine is on, and releases the oil to a rotating component, such as a turbocharger 12, when the engine is off. The oil reservoir functions as a liquid accumulator, and the reservoir may include a spring actuated piston to pump fluid from the reservoir. The one-way valve prevents oil from the oil reservoir from filling the main oil gallery when the gallery oil pressure falls as the engine is switched-off and permits all the oil from the reservoir to flow to the rotating component. The flow restrictor meters the rate of flow of the oil from the reservoir to allow pressurised lubrication to the component for long enough for it to come to a stop.

Title: Buffer wall-flow-type multi-pore passage flame arrester
Inventor: YUEJIN ZHU
IPC: A62C4/02
Filed: 2018-08-02
Abstract: A buffer wall flow-type multi-pore passage flame arrester, comprising a buffer flow-dividing hood (6) and a Z-shaped wall-flow-type multi-pore passage flame arresting core (7). The buffer flow-dividing hood (6) is of a round-bottom flat-opening cylindrical or hemispherical shape; small holes are distributed on the surface of a hood body; pore passages are fully distributed in the Z-shaped wall-flow-type multi-pore passage flame arresting core(7); in two adjacent pore passages, an inlet of one pore passage is blocked and an outlet of the other pore passage is blocked; in a height direction of the middle cross section of the flame arresting core (7), holes are formed in the middle wall surfaces of two adjacent pore passages; and an upper pore passage and a lower pore passage form a fluid passage. When deflagration or detonation flames occur in a gas pipeline, high-speed spreading flames and strong pressure waves firstly act on the buffer flow-dividing hood (6), so that the gas pressure at the center of the fire arresting core (7) is reduced to a certain extent and the flame spreading speed is reduced; the flames pass through the Z-shaped wall-flow-type multi-pore passage flame arresting core (7), so that the probability of collision between excited free radicals in a combustion process and the wall surfaces of the passages is greatly increased, the occurrence of flame quenching is facilitated, and thus the safety is improved.
