Patent number: 10741373Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating an ion gate having a first, a second, and a third electrode which are arranged one after the other in an intended drifting direction of ions to be influenced by the ion gate, in such a way that the second electrode is arranged after the first electrode and the third electrode is arranged after the second electrode in the drift direction. The ion gate can be switched between a closed state, in which ions cannot drift through the ion gate in the intended drifting direction, and an open state, in which ions can drift through the ion gate in the intended drifting direction. This is accomplished by applying potentials that alternate over time to one or more of the electrodes. In a switching cycle of the ion gate, which comprises the open state and the closed state of the ion gate, two different closed states of the ion gate are produced. In a first closed state, the ion gate is closed by applying a first potential between the second and third electrodes.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2019Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: GOTTFRIED WILHELM LEIBNIZ UNIVERSITÄT HANNOVERInventors: Stefan Zimmermann, Ansgar Kirk

Patent number: 9419559Abstract: The invention relates to a parametric oscillator (1) for generating ultra-short pulses. The system (1) comprises a resonator (10) having an optical axis (11), an amplifier crystal (9) arranged in the resonator (10), and a pump laser system (4) for generating pump laser radiation (5) comprising pump photons, said pump laser radiation being directed onto the amplifier crystal (9).

Patent number: 8502815Abstract: We present a method for predictive compression of time-consistent 3D mesh sequences supporting and exploiting scalability. The applied method decomposes each frame of a mesh sequence in layers, which provides a time-consistent multi-resolution representation. Following the predictive coding paradigm, local temporal and spatial dependencies between layers and frames are exploited for layer-wise compression. Prediction is performed vertex-wise from coarse to fine layers exploiting the motion of already encoded neighboring vertices for prediction of the current vertex location. Consequently, successive layer-wise decoding allows to reconstruct frames with increasing levels of detail.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2008Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Universitat HannoverInventors: Nikolce Stefanoski, Jörn Ostermann, Patrick Klie
