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 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 handle securing device for securing handles of pots and pans. There is: a base member. Coupled to the base member are: a first vertical barrier member; a second vertical barrier member; and an attachment mechanism. The attachment mechanism includes a suction cup. The first and second vertical barrier members are substantially rigid, substantially curved, and substantially identical. The first vertical barrier member is removably coupled to the base member at a first attachment port; and the second vertical barrier member is removably coupled to the base member at a second attachment port. There is: a third vertical barrier member, removably coupleable to the first attachment port; and a fourth vertical barrier member, removably coupleable to the second attachment port.
Abstract:
Systems, methods and apparatus are provided through which in some embodiments an X-Ray energy target includes composite material that varies spatially in thermal properties, and in some embodiments, the composite material varies spatially in strength properties. In some embodiments, the spatial variance is a continuum and in other embodiments, the spatial variance is a plurality of distinct portions.
Abstract:
An x-ray target assembly is provided comprising a center hub element affixed to a drive shaft and an outer disc including a plurality of tab extensions removably engaging the periphery of the center hub element. A target element is mounted on an upper outer disc surface.
Abstract:
A slotted window collector assembly for an x-ray tube having an anode and a cathode includes a collector having an anode side and a cathode side, which opposes the anode side. The anode side and the cathode side define an internal bore there between for receiving x-rays from the anode. The slotted collector further includes a window side common to both the anode side and the cathode side and having a window coupled thereto, wherein a window aperture is defined extending from the window to the internal bore. Within the collector assembly, a slot is defined intersecting the window aperture and extending trans-axially thereto and beyond a set length. The slot also extends circumferentially with the window such that plastic strain on the window and heat transferred to the window are reduced.
