Publication number: 20160027629Abstract: A mass spectrometer has a particle introduction system and a vaporizer, atomizer, and ionizer configured to produce ions from elements associated with the particle. An ion mass-to-charge ratio analyzer is configured to separate ions according to their mass-to-charge ratio. A detector is positioned to detect at least some of the separated ions. A digital processor is configured to: (a) acquire data from the detector including at least first data in a primary detection group defined to comprise one or more mass-to-charge ratio channels of the mass spectrometer; (b) determine whether or not ions detected during at least one sampling cycle meet at least one selection criterion indicating a presence of a particle in the mass spectrometer; and (c) determine whether or not to use data in a secondary detection group based on whether or not the at least one selection criterion is met.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2015Publication date: January 28, 2016Inventors: Alexei Antonov, Dmitry Roman Bandura

Commutation method and apparatus for a DC to AC inverter driving a three-phase asynchronous AC motor
Publication number: 20080117658Abstract: Present invention belongs to the field of inverters, motor controllers and pulse modulated waveform generation methods and circuits. More specifically it belongs to such methods and circuits utilizing fundamental vectors. This invention features better and more efficient fundamental vectors. The proposed method offers reduced losses, increased efficiency and longer life time of inverters and motor controllers. Better approximation of a three-phase voltage waveform approaching the ideal one is a significant advantage of the proposed method. Another advantage is an easy decomposition of any point of an ideal sinusoidal voltage waveform into the fundamental vectors. This invention is particularly useful for a vector control of asynchronous AC motors.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2008Publication date: May 22, 2008Applicant: SCIENCE BUREAU INC.Inventors: SERGEY ANTONOV, ALEXEI ANTONOV -

Publication number: 20060196402Abstract: The present invention simplifies sailing providing control of one or more sails with a wheel. The proposed system eliminates the need to control boom-footed sails separately, giving benefits of less gear and rig for short handed sailing. The wheel controlling the sails provides visible and obvious correlation between sails control action and achieved result, much like rudder control.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2005Publication date: September 7, 2006Inventors: Sergey Antonov, Alexei Antonov

Publication number: 20030062871Abstract: A circuit and a method for controlling an electric motor are provided. The circuit and the method are suitable for a conventional three-phase AC motor having three phase terminals and a power source having two terminals. The power source may have a stable DC voltage level, such as a battery, or a floating DC voltage level, such as a rectified AC power source. The invention brings performance of a conventional three-phase AC motor close to performance of a conventional DC motor, with an added advantage of independent torque and speed controls. The circuit and the method are suitable for other types of electric motors, such as brushless DC motor.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2001Publication date: April 3, 2003Inventors: Alexei Antonov, Dmitri Talanov
