Patent number: 11953466Abstract: Methods and apparatus for ion accumulation are disclosed. An apparatus for ion accumulation includes multiple regions. A first region receives and transfers ions to a second region using a first drive potential. The second region is switchable between a first state where it generates a first electric field preventing ions from further movement and entering a third region, and a second state where it generates a second electric field that guides the ions toward the third region. When in the first state, the ions are prevented from further movement by the first electric field, which causes the ions to accumulate in the second region. When in the second state, the ions are moved from the second region to the third region by the second electric field. A method of accumulating ions involves switching an electric field applied to a region between a trap state and a release state.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: MOBILion Systems, Inc.Inventors: John Daniel DeBord, Liulin Deng, Gordon A.

Patent number: 11930073Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for maximizing system scalability while guaranteeing enforcement of service level objectives. A request is received to access a backend database in a hierarchy of backend databases that includes heterogenous computing resources with a dynamic range of performance. Upon receiving the request, a reinforcement learning based filter determines if the request's frequency of access exceeds a cutoff frequency. If the received request is not filtered, but instead, is passed through the filter, then one of the backend databases in the hierarchy is selected. Such a selection is made by a load balancer that is trained using reinforcement learning to select the optimal backend database taking into consideration the storage size and speed of the backend databases as well as taking into consideration the user-specified service level objective to be met by the request to guarantee enforcement of such a service level objective.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jun Duan, Braulio Gabriel Dumba, Andrew John Anderson
