摘要: This invention provides a method, system, and computer program to visualize texture (crystal orientation distribution) heterogeneity in polycrystalline aggregate part in large length scale. This is a critical representation step for microstructure characterization, useful in effective behavior simulation, risk analysis and hotspot identification. In contrast to orientation image map where each color component represents a crystal orientation, each color in this macrotexture map represents a set of texture. Different color represent different texture and similar texture shall have similar color. This method will provide a critical tool in evaluating texture heterogeneity of components, leading to a first-hand understanding of property heterogeneity and anisotropy. For an experienced user, these maps serve the same purpose in identifying high risk locations in the investigated component as medical imaging maps do for diagnosis purpose. This method will also serve as a starting point in mesoscale simulation with meshing sensitivity based on the texture heterogeneity. It will provide a bridge between texture characterization and behavior simulation of component with texture heterogeneity. This method will also offer a linkage between crystal plasticity simulation in small length scale and finite element/difference simulation in large length scale.

摘要: A resin discriminating apparatus includes an X-ray tube which emits X-rays, an X-ray detector which detects X-rays emitted from a sample irradiated with X-rays, a data processing section which creates a spectrum on the basis of a detection signal obtained by the X-ray detector, a peak extraction section which extracts a spectral line due to Compton scattering and a spectral line due to Rayleigh scattering derived from a target element of the X-ray tube on the spectrum, and obtains a peak intensity, and a discrimination section which calculates a scattering intensity ratio which is a ratio of the Rayleigh scattering intensity to the Compton scattering intensity and discriminates the type of resin contained in the sample from the scattering intensity ratio.

摘要: A method and apparatus for estimating a heating value of a biological material. The method includes irradiating of the biological material with X-ray radiation of at least two different energy levels, measuring of an amount of radiation transmitted through the biological material at these energy levels, and measuring fluorescent radiation emitted by the biological material when irradiated at these energy levels. A final estimate of the heating value is then determined based on a preliminary estimate of the heating value of the biological material based on the measured transmitted radiation and a correction value based on the fluorescent radiation.

摘要: A system and method for denoising a grey scale image of a pattern on a substrate, including: scanning a gaussian beam consecutively across scanlines extending along an x direction, wherein the scan lines are disposed adjacent to each other in a y direction within a predetermined region of the pattern, obtaining waveforms from secondary electrons and backscattered electrons reflected from the scanned pattern; converting the waveforms into a grey scale image, and applying a gaussian weighted distribution for each of the scan lines of the grey scale image and the neighboring scan lines of the grey scale image to account for the impact of the neighboring scan lines to each scan line.

摘要: Practical implementation of Particle-Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) on a focused ion beam apparatus or on a dual-beam apparatus comprising both focused-ion beam and scanning microscopy capabilities is described. Accordingly, an analytical method comprises: directing and focusing a beam of ions comprising a mixture of protons and non-hydrogen ions onto a sample, wherein the kinetic energy of ions of the mixture is not greater than 50 kilo-electron-Volts (keV); and detecting and measuring X-rays that are emitted from the sample in response to the impingement of the protons and non-hydrogen ions onto the sample.
