  • Publication number: 20090321638
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a security inspection door comprising a narcotic drug/explosive detecting subsystem, a radioactive substance detecting subsystem and a metal detecting subsystem which are provided in a tank body, wherein electromagnetic radiation shields are respectively provided around the three detecting subsystems, so that the narcotic drug/explosive detecting subsystem, the radioactive substance detecting subsystem and the metal detecting subsystem are isolated from one another and are not interfered with one another. In the present invention, the narcotic drug/explosive detecting subsystem, the radioactive substance detecting subsystem and the metal detecting subsystem are combined together for the first time to form a novel security inspection door, so the narcotic drugs/the explosives, the radioactive substances and the dangerous metal articles can be detected at the same time.

  • Publication number: 20090309013
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electrode structure for a drift tube in IMS comprising a ring electrode, for each of two surfaces of the ring electrode, at least a part adjacent to the inner radius is formed into a cone, and the angles formed between the cones and the axis of the ring electrode are different from each other. The electrode structure of the present invention can alleviate, even eliminate, the accumulation of space charges in the drift tube. Such structure is particularly suitable when the electric field in the drift tube is low in strength or a great number of ions pass through. Meanwhile, the structure allows a significant decrease in the size of the outer radius of the electrode, while the inner radius remains constant. In this way, it is possible to effectively reduce the outline size of the drift tube and thus make the IMS compact.

  • Publication number: 20090289183
    Abstract: A sample processing system and a sample processing method for a trace detector are disclosed. The system comprises a sampling substrate for collecting a substance or substances from the surface of an object to be tested by contacting the sampling substrate with the surface of the object, and a trace detector. The trace detector includes a sample feeding device provided with a sample feeding part. The substance collected by the sampling substrate can be transferred to a surface of the sample feeding part so that the substance transferred to the surface of the sample feeding part can be detected. With the configuration of some embodiments of the present invention, a sampling substrate made of chemical fiber is used to collect a sample from the surface of an object to be tested by contacting the sampling substrate with the surface of the object to be tested. The sample collected by the sampling substrate is mechanically transferred to a metal film or mesh of the sample feeding device of the trace detector.

  • Publication number: 20090283694
    Abstract: Disclosed is an ion source comprising a plate-shaped source body which has radioactivity on its both sides and allows positive and negative ions to penetrate through the source body. The present invention gives beneficial effects. First, the ion source structure can improve the ionization efficiency of sample molecules, and the generated sample ions have a centralized distribution within a flat space on both sides of the source body. Such distribution of ion cloud facilitates to improve the IMS sensitivity. Meanwhile, the source body of the present invention has a transmittance in itself. Thus, positive and negative ions generated on both sides of the source body can penetrate through the source body and be separated to the both sides of the source body. In this way, it is possible to improve the utilization efficiency of ions.

  • Publication number: 20090165577
    Abstract: A wipe sampling assembly used for an ion mobility spectrometer is disclosed. The wipe sampling assembly comprises three layers in which the upper layer and the lower layer are protective paper sheets, while the middle layer is a sampling swab. The swab will not be contaminated when not in use as it is covered by the two protective paper sheets. The hand can only contact the protective paper and will not contact the swab while sampling to prevent the swab from being contaminated. The above wipe sampling assembly is used with no need for any additional device, thus making it easy to operate and carry.
