  • Method and Apparatus for Simultaneous Detection and Measurement of Charged Particles at One or More Levels of Particle Flux for Analysis of Same
    Publication number: 20090121151
    Abstract: A charged particle detector and method are disclosed providing for simultaneous detection and measurement of charged particles at one or more levels of particle flux in a measurement cycle. The detector provides multiple and independently selectable levels of integration and/or gain in a fully addressable readout manner.
    Type: Application
    Filed: January 21, 2009
    Publication date: May 14, 2009
    Inventors: M. Bonner Denton, Roger Sperline, David W. Koppenaal, Charles J. Barinaga, Gary Hieftje, James H. Barnes, IV, Eugene Atlas

  • Simultaneous acquisition of chemical information
    Publication number: 20050035283
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating a mass spectrometer include providing at least two different ion sources, and coupling ion streams simultaneously from the at least two different ion sources to the spectrometer. Another method of operating a spectrometer includes a first coupling an ion stream from a first one of the ion sources into the spectrometer, next coupling an ion stream from a second one of the ion sources into the spectrometer, next coupling an ion stream from the second one of the ion sources into the spectrometer, and next coupling an ion stream from the first one of the ion sources into the spectrometer.
