Title: Vane pump
Inventor: Diego Guerrato
IPC: F04C2/344
Filed: 2016-10-03
Abstract: A vane pump 12 having a rotor 20 with a plurality of slots 34 in the peripheral face 32. Blades 40 are slidably arranged in each slot and a spring 46 outwardly biasing them. The spring comprises an elastically bent portion 52 and a substantially straight portion 54. The bent portion being arranged away from the blade and the straight portion extends from the bent portion so that the blade is biased by it. The bent portion of the spring may have an axis X3 parallel to the main axis of the pump X1 and may be wound over forming a coil about the spring axis. The spring axis may be arranged between two blades, having two straight arms to bias both blades. Smooth shoes may be on the straight portion of the spring so that blade avoids direct contact with the spring. The spring may form a polygon, the number of sides matching the number of blades.

Title: Quadrupole devices
Inventor: MARTIN RAYMOND GREEN
IPC: H01J49/42
Filed: 2020-03-11
Abstract: A quadrupole device (such as a quadrupole mass filter) may be operated in two or more stability regions simultaneously by applying a main AC quadrupole voltage, an AC auxiliary quadrupole voltage and one or more DC voltages. An AC dipolar voltage may be applied to cause ions corresponding to at least one of the stability regions (other than a single selected stability region) to be attenuated as they pass through the quadrupole device. Alternatively, undesired ions may be removed using an auxiliary mass filter 32 arranged upstream or downstream of the quadrupole device (figures 3 and 4). Therefore, only ions corresponding to a single X-band, X-band-like, Y-band or Y-band-like stability zone may be transmitted by the quadrupole device. The invention may prevent the transmission of multiple separate mass to charge ratio ranges simultaneously when an AC auxiliary excitation is applied to create multiple islands of stability, and a scan line 22 is used which passes through two or more regions of stability.
