DEFINITION

Classification: 250/294

(under subclass 281) Subject matter wherein the selecting means comprises a normally nonvarying electric or magnetic field.

(1) Note. The field means of this subclass and the subclasses indented hereunder typically interact with the charges of the ions to bend the path of an ion an amount depending on its mass and charge.

(2) Note. Although the field means of this subclass and the subclasses indented hereunder are normally nonvarying, those field means that have means to adjust their intensity or direction are not precluded.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

396+, for ion path bending field means, per se, or in combination with sources. Ion path bending field means with detectors will also be found there if the field means does not separate ions of different charge-to-mass ratios.
