Title: Steering assist method and apparatus
Inventor: Denis Fusconi
IPC: B62D15/02
Filed: 2018-11-22
Abstract: A control system 1, with at least one controller 20, is provided for controlling generation of a road edge assist steering torque at a steering wheel 5 of a host vehicle 2. Control system 1 determines a width of a first travel lane and compares this width to a predefined first threshold. Road edge assist steering torque is then controlled dependent on this comparison; typically, assist torque is suppressed if the lane width is less than the threshold, and is available if the lane width is greater than the threshold. Suitably, the lane width may be a width between a road edge and a lane marking or between two road edges. The system may be suitable for narrow roads, and may for example suppress assistance when an oncoming vehicle is detected and it is necessary to leave the road to allow it to pass. A vehicle and method are also claimed.

Title: Quadrupole Devices
Inventor: DAVID J LANGRIDGE
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2020-03-11
Abstract: A quadrupole device is operated by applying a repeating voltage waveform comprising a main drive voltage and at least one auxiliary drive voltage. The intensity of ions passing into the quadrupole device may be varied (e.g. pulsed or modulated) with time in synchronisation with the repeating voltage waveform, such that the number of ions per unit phase which initially experience a phase within a first range of phases of the repeating voltage waveform may be greater than the number of ions per unit phase which initially experience a phase within a second range of phases of the repeating voltage waveform. The invention may increase the transmission through a quadrupole (e.g. operating in an X-band, Y-band, X-bank-like or Y-band-like mode of operation) by increasing the proportion of ions entering the quadrupole that initially experience a phase of the repeating voltage waveform exhibiting improved acceptance characteristics.
