==CURVED ION MOBILITY ARCHITECTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240014024 titled 'CURVED ION MOBILITY ARCHITECTURE

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a curved ion manipulation structure that allows ions to be directed along an ion pathway and circumferentially through radial gaps. This structure consists of pairs of opposing curved surfaces, each with a first and second electrode arrangement, which define the ion pathway.

* The curved ion manipulation structure provides longer ion pathway lengths compared to conventional devices.
* Ions can be directed through one or more pairs of opposing curved surfaces.
* Each pair of curved surfaces is spaced apart radially to create a radial gap.
* The first and second electrode arrangements in each pair of curved surfaces define the ion pathway and direct ions along it.
* The ions are also directed circumferentially through the radial gaps of the structure.

Potential Applications:
* Ion manipulation and control in mass spectrometry.
* Ion separation and filtering in analytical chemistry.
* Ion trapping and confinement in ion traps.
* Ion mobility spectrometry for detecting and analyzing trace amounts of substances.

Problems Solved:
* Increased ion pathway length allows for improved separation and analysis of ions.
* Curved surfaces provide better control and manipulation of ions compared to straight structures.
* Radial gaps enable ions to be directed in a circumferential manner, enhancing their manipulation capabilities.

Benefits:
* Greater ion pathway lengths improve the resolution and sensitivity of ion analysis.
* Curved surfaces offer more precise control over ion movement.
* Circumferential ion manipulation through radial gaps allows for efficient ion trapping and separation.
* Enhanced ion manipulation capabilities enable more accurate and reliable detection and analysis of substances.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

curved ion manipulation devices can provide relatively greater ion pathway lengths over conventional devices. ions can be directed through one or more pairs of opposing curved surfaces of a curved ion manipulation structure. each pair of opposing curved surfaces can be spaced apart radially relative to a common longitudinal axis of the ion manipulation structure to define a radial gap. each pair of opposing curved surfaces can include a first electrode arrangement and a second electrode arrangement opposed to the first electrode arrangement. the first and second electrode arrangements can define an ion pathway and are configured to direct ions along the ion pathway and circumferentially through the radial gaps of the ion manipulation structure.
