摘要： An x-ray analysis apparatus for illuminating a sample spot with an x-ray beam. An x-ray tube is provided having a source spot from which a diverging x-ray beam is produced having a characteristic first energy, and bremsstrahlung energy; a first x-ray optic receives the diverging x-ray beam and directs the beam toward the sample spot, while monochromating the beam; and a second x-ray optic receives the diverging x-ray beam and directs the beam toward the sample spot, while monochromating the beam to a second energy. The first x-ray optic may monochromate characteristic energy from the source spot, and the second x-ray optic may monochromate bremsstrahlung energy from the source spot. The x-ray optics may be curved diffracting optics, for receiving the diverging x-ray beam from the x-ray tube and focusing the beam at the sample spot. Detection is also provided to detect and measure various toxins in, e.g., manufactured products including toys and electronics.

摘要： Techniques for deriving bone properties from images generated by a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry apparatus include receiving first image data having pixels indicating bone mineral density projected at a first angle of a plurality of projection angles. Second image data and third image data are also received. The second image data indicates bone mineral density projected at a different second angle. The third image data indicates bone mineral density projected at a third angle. The third angle is different from the first angle and the second angle. Principal moments of inertia for a bone in the subject are computed based on the first image data, the second image data and the third image data. The techniques allow high-precision, high-resolution dual-energy x-ray attenuation images to be used for computing principal moments of inertia and strength moduli of individual bones, plus risk of injury and changes in risk of injury to a patient.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for characterising the catalyst structure in a fuel cell, and at the same time in particular the transmission X-ray absorption measurements (XAS), in which a novel fuel cell design is used. The fuel cell comprises a first (planar) electrode having a first catalyst, a second (planar) electrode having a second catalyst, and an electrolyte membrane having a layer thickness l
m arranged between the electrodes, wherein the first electrode has at least one catalyst-free circular region of radius R
1
max . Unlike hitherto customary practice, the second electrode of the fuel cell according to the invention likewise has a catalyst-free circular region of radius R
2 1
max . Advantageously, 0.5 l
m ≤ [R
1
max - R
2 ] ≤ 2 l
m applies. Simulations prove that during these investigations, which record only a narrow catalyst-containing sample ring, the local current density over the surface can be maintained virtually constant, and therefore the recorded catalyst particles are clearly more representative of the entire catalyst layer than in the previous investigations using fuel cells that use a completely circular measurement geometry as sample.

摘要： Embodiments relate to an X-ray interferometer for imaging an object (130) comprising: a phase grating (122) for effecting in correspondence with the phase grating geometry a phase shift to at least a part of X-ray incident onto the phase grating (122); and an absorption grating (123) for effecting in correspondence with the absorption grating geometry absorption to at least a part of X-ray incident onto the absorption grating (123). The X-ray interferometer may be characterized in that the grating period (P 122 ) of the phase grating (122), and the grating period (P 123 ) of the absorption grating (123) are dimensioned such that a detector (140) for X-rays can be placed at a relatively large distance away from the absorption grating (123) such the phase contrast sensitivity of the image of the object detected by the detector remains substantially unaffected.
