==APPARATUS AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240014022 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes an ion source for a static gas mass spectrometer. The ion source includes a source block that receives a sample gas, an electron source that ionizes the sample gas, a set of electrodes between the electron source and the source block, and a controller that controls the voltage applied to the electrodes to regulate the flux of electrons into the source block during different time periods.

* The ion source is designed for a static gas mass spectrometer.
* The source block receives the sample gas.
* The electron source provides a flux of electrons to ionize the sample gas.
* The electrodes, including a first electrode, are positioned between the electron source and the source block.
* The controller controls the voltage applied to the first electrode to regulate the flux of electrons into the source block.
* During the first time period after receiving the sample gas, the flux of electrons is attenuated into the source block.
* During the second time period following the first time period, the flux of electrons is permitted into the source block.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Gas analysis: The ion source can be used in gas mass spectrometry to analyze the composition of gases.
* Environmental monitoring: It can be used to detect and analyze pollutants in the air or water.
* Industrial processes: The ion source can be applied in various industrial processes to monitor gas composition and ensure quality control.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Accurate ionization: The ion source provides controlled ionization of the sample gas, ensuring accurate analysis.
* Time-dependent control: The voltage control allows for precise regulation of the flux of electrons during different time periods, improving the reliability of the analysis.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved accuracy: The controlled ionization process enhances the accuracy of gas analysis results.
* Versatility: The ion source can be used for various gas analysis applications in different industries.
* Time-dependent control: The ability to regulate the flux of electrons during different time periods provides flexibility and customization in the analysis process.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

an ion source () for a static gas mass spectrometer is described. the ion source () comprises: a source block () defining a volume v to receive a sample gas g; an electron source () in fluid communication with the source block () and configured to provide a flux of electrons e therein for ionising the sample gas g; a set of electrodes (), including a first electrode (a), disposed between the electron source () and the source block (); and a controller (not shown) configured to control a voltage applied to the first electrode (a) to attenuate the flux of the electrons e into the source block () during a first time period following receiving of the sample gas g in the source block () and to permit the flux of the electrons e into the source block () during a second time period following the first time period.
