    摘要: A gear-shifting device is disclosed. The device comprises a first motor having a first stator. The first stator turns clockwise and counter-clockwise, creating a wobbling action. The device further comprises a compound planetary transmission, comprising a transmission ring attached to a ring gear. The compound planetary transmission receives power from the first stator. The device further comprises a second motor having a second stator. The second stator turns clockwise and counter-clockwise. The device further comprises a shift assembly, comprising a drum, a cap, and a pinion gear. The pinion gear receives power from the second stator. The drum locks with the pinion gear such that the drum rotates with the pinion gear. The transmission ring is attached to the drum, such that the transmission ring moves laterally as the drum rotates. The ring gear locks and unlocks with the cap as the drum rotates. The wobbling action enables the locking.

    摘要: The tandem differential mobility spectrometer (DMS)-ion modulator instrument provides improved resolution relative to traditional DMS for molecules with larger masses. The instrument includes an ion-bunching electrode with an AC field synchronized to the transit time of the ion flow which is positioned downstream of a DMS. The ion bunching electrode produces a mobility-dependent modulation of the ion current. The ratio of AC to DC current provides a measure of the mobility of a large ion, even if it has little differential mobility, thereby extending the useful range of mobility characterization of a DMS system. The instrument is more compact than a larger traditional ion mobility spectrometer and does not require high voltages or high frequencies. Modulation before DMS separation or between tandem DMS separations produces a variable range of analyte and reactant ion densities as well as spatially separating negative and positive ions to reduce ion recombination.

    摘要: A cable management system may include a channel, a cradle, and one or more cables girdled by the channel, the cradle, or both. The channel may include one or more sets of opposing openings. The cradle may be disposed within the channel. The cradle may include a brace. The cradle may include a set of at least two detents disposed in at least one of the sets of opposing openings. Each set op opposing openings may coaxial, non-coaxial, or combinations thereof. The cable management system may further include a channel cover detachably connected to the channel by a second set of detents. Each detent of the second set of detents may be disposed in at least one of the opposing openings. Each detent of the second set of detents may be disposed across the corresponding opening from a corresponding one detent of the first set of detents.
