Abstract:
Seat support assembly for use in a small utility vehicle. The seat support assembly can be removably attached to a frame to allow assembly of small utility vehicles of varying configurations. Components of the seat support assembly can have various support features thereon to support other components of the small utility vehicle. The seat support assembly can be removably attached to the structural members of the frame with threaded fasteners, such as bolts.
Abstract:
A small utility vehicle frame can include a unitary cast component. The unitary cast component can be a single, integral element or part having a variety of structural portions and/or attachment features formed therein. The attachment features can provide for the direct attachment of auxiliary frame components and other vehicle components to the unitary cast component. The unitary cast component can be machined to accommodate tolerances required for the attachment of other components. The unitary cast component can extend about two-thirds of the length of the vehicle frame.
Abstract:
The present embodiments relate to active thermal control of X-ray tubes. In one embodiment, a system includes an X-ray tube having an electron beam target, a rotary bearing supporting the target in rotation, and a coolant flow passage, at least a portion of the coolant flow passage being disposed in the center of the rotary bearing, and the coolant flow passage is configured to receive a coolant. The system also includes a coolant circulating system coupled to the coolant flow passage and configured to circulate the coolant thorough the coolant flow passage, and a control circuit coupled to the coolant circulating system and the rotary bearing, the control circuit being configured to control heat flow between components of the X-ray tube by regulating extraction of heat from the X-ray tube via the coolant and by regulating a rotation rate of the rotary bearing.
Abstract:
A target for generating x-rays includes a target substrate comprising at least one layer of a target material, a track comprising at least one layer of a track material, the track configured to generate x-rays from high-energy electrons impinging thereon, and a braze joint attaching the target substrate to the track.
Abstract:
A modular x-ray source for an imaging system includes an electron source mounting plate, two or more electron sources each mounted on and electrically coupled to the electron source mounting plate, and a target block positioned proximately to the two or more electron sources. The source includes two or more targets mounted on and electrically coupled to the target block, each target positioned opposite a respective one of the two or more electron sources to receive a respective beam of electrons therefrom.
Abstract:
A connector assembly for mounting on a connector arm of a trailer to facilitate easy alignment of the trailer connector arm with a hitch of a towing vehicle. The connector assembly can move the connector arm up and down, side-to-side and drive forward and reverse in relation to the towing vehicle.
Abstract:
A composite target for generating x-rays includes a target substrate and at least one material applied to the target substrate with a laser beam.
Abstract:
A target assembly for generating x-rays includes a target substrate, and an emissive coating applied to a portion of the target substrate, the emissive coating comprising one or more of a carbide and a carbonitride.
Abstract:
A target assembly for generating x-rays includes a target substrate, and an emissive coating attached to the target substrate, the emissive coating including a textured material including a plurality of granular protrusions arranged to increase gray body emissive characteristics of the target assembly above that of the target substrate.
