Latest Patents
One of Walter Roeck's latest patents is for an ICR cell operating with a duplexer. This innovative ICR cell operates with a duplexer, which is an integral part of a transmission and receiving device of an FT-ICR mass spectrometry device. The device transmits a transmitter voltage to at least one electrode of the ICR cell during an ion excitation phase and protects a preamplifier from overvoltage. An ion received signal passes through a reception path to the preamplifier during an ion detection phase. The duplexer features at least one active serial switch with two switchable states, each with different series impedances, which is inserted in the reception path. This design allows for an ICR cell of an FT-ICR mass spectrometry device where at least one electrode can be used for both ion excitation and subsequent ion detection.
Another notable patent is for a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probe head with cryogenically cooled preamplifiers. This NMR probe head is designed for use in a room temperature bore of a superconducting NMR magnet cryostat for investigating generally room temperature samples. It comprises a radio frequency (RF) receiving coil, a receiving coil preamplifier connected to the receiving coil, and at least one additional coil. The cryogenic means connected to the RF receiving coil, the receiving coil preamplifier, and the additional coil maintain these components at a cryogenic temperature. The apparatus is enhanced by connecting at least one additional preamplifier to the additional coil and cryogenic means, which keeps the additional preamplifier at a cryogenic temperature, resulting in improved performance and increased flexibility.
