  • VACUUM TOOL WITH MULTIPLE USE BLADES
    Publication number: 20190387937
    Abstract: A vacuum accessory may include a head including a head body defining an inlet and a fitting interface, the head body extending from a fitting interface to a base and enclosing a cavity. A fitting includes a fitting body symmetrically disposed about a longitudinal axis of the fitting. The fitting body defines a fitting inlet, an outlet, and a flow path connecting the fitting inlet and the outlet. The fitting is connected to the head at the fitting interface and a fluid flow path fluidly connects the inlet and the outlet. A blade is removably coupled to the head and at least partially disposed within the cavity of the head. The blade includes a flat blade body that is coplanar with a reference plane dividing the fitting body and containing the longitudinal axis of the fitting.

  • Ion identification using ion mobility spectrometry
    Patent number: 12265056
    Abstract: A method of analysing ions is disclosed comprising: (i) subjecting ions of an analyte molecule to different activation levels at different times so as to cause the ions to have different mobilities at said different times, wherein the activation level is varied in a plurality of cycles, and wherein the activation level is varied between said different levels during each of the cycles. The method uses an ion mobility separator or scanned ion mobility filter to determine the mobilities of the ions for said different activation levels; and correlates the determined mobilities with their respective activation levels so as to thereby obtain a fingerprint for the analyte molecule.

  • Mass spectrometer having time of flight mass analyser
    Patent number: 8183524
    Abstract: A mass spectrometer is disclosed comprising an orthogonal acceleration Time of Flight mass analyser. A pulse or packet of ions is released either from an ion trap or alternatively from a travelling wave ion guide arranged upstream of an orthogonal acceleration electrode which forms part of the Time of Flight mass analyser. Ions in the pulse or packet or ions which is released become temporally dispersed and the orthogonal acceleration electrode is energized multiple times prior the release of a subsequent pulse or packet of ions.

  • Method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for automatic verification of transactions made over an insecure network
    Patent number: 7823774
    Abstract: An apparatus and method automatically verifies online transactions, such as credit card charges, made by a customer of a bank or financial institution. A browser “plug-in” is used to monitor a first party use of the internet to detect online transactions and create transaction data. The transaction data is forwarded to the financial institution to correlate with transaction data received independently from the other party in the transaction. The financial institution can provide the customer with alerts, such as online purchase warnings, if there are problems or discrepancies between the data from the first party and the data provided by the second party. The transaction data can also be used in other ways to provide information to the financial institution's customers.
