  • Patent number: 11957522
    Abstract: A dock for a surgical equipment holder is disclosed. The dock for a surgical equipment holder includes a base having a central arm mount and a lower clamping jaw. The dock for a surgical equipment holder also includes an upper clamp jaw movably coupled to the base. The dock for a surgical equipment holder also includes a central docking arm coupled to the central arm mount and a central ball cup coupled to the to the central docking arm. The dock for a surgical equipment holder also includes a central attachment nut coupled to the central ball cup. The central attachment nut may include an extendable moment arm, and the dock may also include a ball coupled between the central ball cup and the central attachment nut and a surgical equipment holder attached to the ball.

  • Patent number: 9159539
    Abstract: A system and method for acquisition of mass spectrometry data is configured to provide a stream of charged particles (e.g., from an analytical volume). A primary mass spectrometer (e.g., time-of-flight mass spectrometer) may be used to separate charged particles of the stream of charged particles based on their mass-to-charge ratio and detect the charged particles in a mass-to-charge spectrum. A stream of precursor ions having a selected mass range may be diverted from the stream of charged particles for fragmentation to provide fragment ions (e.g., fragment ions from the analytical volume). The fragment ions may be provided to a second mass spectrometer for analysis of the fragment ions (e.g., during the same time as the time-of-flight mass spectrometer is separating and detecting charged particles of the stream of charged particles based on their mass-to-charge ratio).
