Patent Searching and Data


Title:
ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS USING A PSEUDORANDOM ARRAY OF SAMPLE SOURCES, SUCH AS A MICRO-MACHINED MASS SPECTROMETER OR MONOCHROMATOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003071569
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
Novel methods and structures are disclosed herein which employ pseudorandom sequences to spatially arrange multiple sources in a pseudorandom source array. The pseudorandom source array can replace the single source in analytical instruments relying on spatial separation of the sample or the probe particles/waves emitted by the sources. The large number of sources in this pseudorandom source array enhances the signal on a position sensitive detector. A mathematical deconvolution process retrieves a spectrum with improved signal-to-noise ratio from the detector signal.
