Title: Methods and apparatus for mass spectrometry with high sample utilization
Inventor: LOBODA ALEXANDER
IPC: H01J49/00
Filed: 2010-07-02
Abstract: A method of measuring a mass spectrum with high sample utilization includes mass filtering a first group of precursor ions from a mass spectrum that has a first predetermined range of mass-to-charge ratios. At least one type of precursor ion in the first group of precursor ions is then selectively fragmented. A first fragment mass spectrum of the fragmented precursor ions in the first group of precursor ions is measured while maintaining other precursor ions in the first predetermined range of mass-to-charge ratios. A second group of precursor ions having a second predetermined range of mass-to-charge ratios is mass filtered from the mass spectrum. At least one type of precursor ion is selectively fragmented in the second group of precursor ions. A second fragment mass spectrum of the fragmented precursor ions in the second group of precursor ions is then measured.

Patent CA-2772940-A1 (CA)
Inventor: XU WILSUN
IPC: G01R35/00
Filed: 2012-03-30
Abstract: Methods and devices for establishing the relationships between the conductor currents and sensor outputs for cases where the geometric parameters of the conductors and sensors are unknown. The methodology involves a sensor calibrator.  This device is connected to the conductors at a location downstream of a number of current measuring devices or current sensors. The calibrator draws specific currents from the conductors for a short period in an automated manner. The characteristics of the currents drawn by the calibrator such as the magnitude and frequency of the currents are known to the processing unit for the sensors through means such as communications. The processing unit uses these known currents to establish the relationship between the conductor currents and its sensed quantities. This process may take a few seconds. Once the relationship is established, the sensors can start to "measure" the conductor currents by calculating them using that relationship and its sensed quantities.

Patent CA-2807775-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NERL MICHAEL
IPC: H02K41/06
Filed: 2011-07-08
Abstract: The present invention comprises correlated magnet actuators, devices incorporating said actuators, and methods of use thereof. The actuators utilize magnetic drives comprising a pair of complimentary correlated permanent magnet pairs, arranged in a separable and opposing fashion. The attractive or repulsive force of each correlated magnet pair drops significantly after only a few degrees of rotation off of a prime attractive or repulsive rotational alignment, allowing the magnets to be binarily manipulated between a correlated and decorrelated alignment. The linear motion resulting from the periodic coupling and decoupling of the magnetic pair can be translated to supporting conveyance structures to produce rotary (torque) output work. This output work can be harnessed to drive secondary utilization components such as a generator or a pump, or other devices dependent on rotary work output for their operation.

Abstract: A lead screw, a lead screw nut (7) and a drive member (8) are aligned with an axis defining an axial direction and an opposite axial direction. A coupling between the lead screw and the lead screw nut allows a helical movement of the lead screw with respect to the lead screw nut at least in the axial direction. The lead screw is coupled with the drive member, the coupling generating a helical movement of the lead screw with respect to the drive member when the drive member is moved in the axial direction with respect to the lead screw. A dispense stop feature (19) of the lead screw nut and a dispense stop feature (20) of the drive member prevent the generation of the helical movement of the lead screw when a specified end position of the drive member is approached.
