120 \u00b0C),\u00a0 the designs are readily adapted to Rogers material which is quite robust well above 200 \u00b0C.\u00a0 Another key adaptation making this design tractable is the new ion shutter design which uses 3 grids to create a set of well defined ion pulses.\u00a0 Though the BN-gates are attractive in that the physical structure is in a single plane, their construction is an art.\u00a0 Moreover, the fields established by the BN gates are also, by no means, fully planar.\u00a0 With the new design we can achieve that smooth field in the region surrounding the ion gate and still get extremely small ion gate pulse widths (i.e &lt; 20 \u03bcs).\u00a0 If you are interested in some of the core details or have suggestions for improvement, come find us on github:\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/bhclowers\/OS-IMS\">https:\/\/github.com\/bhclowers\/OS-IMS<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.clowersresearch.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/PCB-IMS.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-604 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.clowersresearch.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/PCB-IMS-300x187.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.clowersresearch.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/PCB-IMS-300x187.png 300w, http:\/\/www.clowersresearch.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/PCB-IMS-241x150.png 241w, http:\/\/www.clowersresearch.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/PCB-IMS-150x93.png 150w, http:\/\/www.clowersresearch.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/PCB-IMS.png 347w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
