Abstract:
A switch for coupling a first ion manipulation device to a second ion manipulation device comprises a first surface and a second surface, at least one first electrode coupled to each of the first and second surface and configured to receive a first voltage and generate a first potential, and at least one second electrode coupled to each of the first and second surface and configured to receive a second voltage and generate a second potential, wherein the first potential inhibits the motion of ions along a first direction and the second potential inhibits the motion of ions along a second direction different from the first direction.

Claim (Index 11):
An ion manipulation device comprising:\n a constant-field portion oriented in a first direction and configured to guide ions along the first direction; a traveling wave portion oriented in a second direction different from the first direction and configured to guide ions along the second direction; a switch portion; and a controller coupled to the switch; wherein the constant-field portion and the traveling wave portion are positioned in a substantially T-shaped configuration and the switch portion is positioned at a junction between the constant-field portion and the traveling wave portion; wherein the constant-field portion comprises a first constant-field portion on one side of the switch and a second constant-field portion on the other side of the switch; wherein the switch is configured to be operable in a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation, wherein, in the first mode of operation, ions entering the switch from the first constant-field portion move through the switch and enter the second constant-field portion, and, in the second mode of operation, ions entering the switch from the first constant-field portion move through the switch and enter the traveling wave portion.
