20090101575 | Liquid To Liquid Biological Particle Concentrator - A rapid one-pass liquid filtration system efficiently concentrates biological particles that are suspended in liquid from a dilute feed suspension. A sample concentrate or retentate suspension is retained while eliminating the separated fluid in a separate flow stream. Suspended biological particles include such materials as proteins/toxins, viruses, DNA, and/or bacteria in the size range of approximately 0.001 micron to 20 microns diameter. Concentration of these particles is advantageous for detection of target particles in a dilute suspension, because concentrating them into a small volume makes them easier to detect. Additional concentration stages may be added in “cascade” fashion, in order to concentrate particles below the size cut of each preceding stage remaining in the separated fluid in a concentrated sample suspension. This process can also be used to create a “band-pass” concentration for concentration of a particular target size particle within a narrow range. | 04-23-2009 |

20090057551 | LOW PRESSURE ELECTROSPRAY IONIZATION SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR EFFECTIVE TRANSMISSION OF IONS - A system and method are disclosed that provide up to complete transmission of ions between coupled stages with low effective ion losses. A novel “interfaceless” electrospray ionization system is further described that operates the electrospray at a reduced pressure such that standard electrospray sample solutions can be directly sprayed into an electrodynamic ion funnel which provides ion focusing and transmission of ions into a mass analyzer. | 03-05-2009 |
20090108194 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SELECTIVE FILTERING OF IONS - An adjustable, low mass-to-charge (m/z) filter is disclosed employing electrospray ionization to block ions associated with unwanted low m/z species from entering the mass spectrometer and contributing their space charge to down-stream ion accumulation steps. The low-mass filter is made by using an adjustable potential energy barrier from the conductance limiting terminal electrode of an electrodynamic ion funnel, which prohibits species with higher ion mobilities from being transmitted. The filter provides a linear voltage adjustment of low-mass filtering from m/z values from about 50 to about 500. Mass filtering above m/z 500 can also be performed; however, higher m/z species are attenuated. The mass filter was evaluated with a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of an albumin tryptic digest and resulted in the ability to block low-mass, “background” ions which account for 40-70% of the total ion current from the ESI source during peak elution. | 04-30-2009 |

20090154718 | Method and apparatus for suppressor backfill - In some communication applications, a near-end talker employs a cellular phone that either operates in a noisy environment and does not support artificial noise injection or injects noise but supports a simple, fixed noise injection. This may result in “blanking” of the background noise and result in repeated “are you still there?” questions or premature termination of a call. In order to prevent this feeling of “blanking,” a suppressor backfill module according to an example embodiment of the invention backfills those blank periods with noise, optionally in an inverse relationship with power of noise in a near-end signal, resulting in repairing sound quality degradation and giving a far end talker a feeling of call continuity.

20090287480 | Method and apparatus for low bit rate speech coding detection - To increase channel capacity, mobile phone carriers have deployed speech coders, such as Advanced MultiBand Excitation coding (AMBE), in networks to reduce the bit rate of each call. One undesired consequence of employing such speech coders is that the voice quality can be much worse as compared to higher bit-rate speech coders. A method or corresponding apparatus in an example embodiment of the present invention performs voice quality enhancement transparently within a network by detecting use of a coder applying rate reduction to a speech signal and known to have an adverse effect on a coded speech signal. Upon detection of the use of such coder, the coded speech signal is corrected based on components introduced into the coded speech signal due to the rate reduction. As a result of applying the voice quality enhancement, adverse effects of speech coders can be reduced, while maintaining high quality voice signals. | 11-19-2009 |
