Title: Improved method of FT-IMS
Inventor: KEITH GEORGE RICHARDSON
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2016-03-18
Abstract: A method of ion mobility mass spectrometry comprises modulating the introduction of ions into an ion mobility separator at a first frequency. A modulation is applied downstream of the ion mobility separator at a second frequency and the first and second modulation frequencies are varied with time. Fourier transform may be applied to the data in the modulation frequency domain to obtain measured intensity as a function of drift time through the ion mobility separator. Alternatively, a forward modelling deconvolution technique may be applied wherein a plurality of non-sinusoidal model signals having different frequencies and amplitudes are superimposed and compared to the data using a goodness of fit criterion, wherein the frequency of each model signal is characteristic of the ion mobility of a group of ions. The method may additionally comprise determining the mass to charge ratios of the ions using a mass analyser and identifying different types of ions based on the combination of the measured ion mobility and mass to charge ratio.

Title: Method and apparatus for determining a measure of contact of EMG sensors
Inventor: MAHYAR HAMEDI
IPC: A61B5/397
Filed: 2021-10-22
Abstract: A measure of contact of an electromyographic (EMG) sensor 102 with the skin of a human or animal subject is measured by receiving EMG data, calculating spectral entropy of the data over a first time period in a predetermined frequency band, determine a measure of contact based on the spectral entropy, and processing the data based on the measure of contact. The spectral entropy may be determined by calculating the Shannon entropy of a power distribution of the EMG sensor signal. A high degree of spectral entropy may be indicative of poor contact and low spectral entropy indicative of good contact. Processing the data may include discarding data if the measure of contact is below a first threshold, or marking the data as unreliable and down-weighting it if the contact is below a second threshold. The sensors 102 may be positioned on facewear such as glasses 200 for determining facial muscle activity.
