20100276589 | Atmospheric pressure ion source moving transport interface for a mass spectrometer - An atmospheric pressure (AP) mass spectrometry ion source able to ionize analytes in liquid effluents from interfaced liquid separation techniques and from individual containers, as in microtiter plates, by direct introduction of the analyte into the ion source using a moving ribbon, wire, or belt with vaporization of the analyte and subsequent ionization using an electric discharge or photoionization. The AP source may also incorporate atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI), photoionization (APPI) and/or electrospray ionization (ESI), techniques that are commercially available. The source facilitates ionization of volatile and semivolatile compounds by applying heat from a gas stream to vaporize analyte entering the ionization region on a moving transport device. Solvent removal prior to sample entering the ionization region enables ionization of a wider range of compounds than liquid introduction APCI or APPI. The source is also capable of ionizing non-volatile compounds in solution by electrospray ionization, thus the combination provides almost universal ionization for organic compounds. | 11-04-2010 |

The liquid effluents from sources such as a liquid chromatograph are ionized by inlet ionization methods and the gaseous effluents from sources such as a gas chromatograph are ionized by a corona or Townsend electrical discharge, or an alpha or beta emitter, or by inlet ionization, or by photoionization. Ionization occurs in an intermediate pressure region linking atmospheric pressure and the vacuum of the mass analyzer. The source has the ability to ionize compounds from both liquid and gaseous sources, which facilitates ionization of volatile compounds separated by gas chromatography, volatile or non-volatile compounds separated by liquid chromatography, or infused into the ionization. The ionization methods can be achieved with a single configuration or with separately optimized configurations. | 11-13-2014 |

20160078370 | CONTROLLED ACCESS QUEUE-BASED GATING BASED ON COOPERATIVE DETECTION OF VIABLE REGISTRATION - Before tickets for an event go onsale, users are allowed to register for the event. The registration requires completion of verification steps useful for discriminating between human and robot users. Due to the complexity of the first verification step, it can be estimated that registered users are more likely than other users to be human. Registered users are allowed to electronically submit requests for tickets for the event prior to the tickets going on sale. Unregistered users must wait to request tickets until a later time (e.g., when the tickets are onsale) and may—at that time—complete similar or simpler verification steps, further delaying receipt of their requests. Requests from registered users may further be preferentially served simply due to the registrations. Thus, tickets can be preferentially provided to users estimated to be more likely to be human. | 03-17-2016 |

20110037855 | INFRA RED DETECTOR SYSTEM AND METHOD - A detector system is described in which an image of a scene is displaced with reference to a dual waveband detector array. Such ‘scanning’ increases the sampling density, thereby reducing the effective pixel pitch, by moving the image of the scene relative to the detector array by fractions of a pixel pitch in sequential frames. The display is then reconstructed with the data from these frames interleaved relative to the original scan displacement. | 02-17-2011 |
