Patents by Inventor Rudiger Reuter

Rudiger Reuter has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Mass spectrometer comprising an ionization device
    Patent number: 11875985
    Abstract: A mass spectrometer includes an ion trap, which has an interior for storing ions, a signal generator, which is connected to an electrode of the ion trap, which delimits the interior, for coupling in a voltage signal, in particular a radiofrequency voltage signal, and an ionization device for ionizing a gas to be ionized and supplied to the interior. The ionization device is connected to the signal generator in order to use the voltage signal (URF, UStim1, Ustim2) of the signal generator, which is coupled into the electrode, for generating ions.
    Type: Grant

  • Mass spectrometer and method for analysing a gas by mass spectrometry
    Patent number: 11791147
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mass spectrometer for analysing a gas by mass spectrometry, comprising: a controllable inlet system for pulsed feeding of the gas to be analysed from a process region outside the mass spectrometer into an ionisation region, an ionisation device for ionising the gas to be analysed in the ionisation region, an ion transfer device for transferring the ionised gas from a ionisation region via an ion transfer region into an analysis region, and an analyser for detecting the ionised gas in the analysis region. The invention further relates to an associated method for mass spectrometrically analysing a gas.
