    摘要: A laser machining method includes directing, from an F-theta lens having a long focal length of greater than about 250 millimeters, a laser beam at a non-perpendicular beam tilt angle from an optical axis of the lens having a top-hat profile and a narrow beam divergence angle of between about 1 degree and about 3 degrees towards a workpiece on a stage movable in at least an X-direction and a Y-direction, engaging the directed laser beam with the workpiece disposed in the usable field of view, moving the workpiece and the directed laser beam relative to each other, and removing portions of the workpiece with the directed laser beam to define a machined surface.

    摘要: A cathode assembly design is provided that includes two flat emitters, a longer emitter filament and a shorter emitter filament. In one implementation the focal spot sizes produced by the long and short emitters overlap over a range. Thus, one emitter filament may be suitable for generating small and concentrated focal spot sizes while the other emitter filament is suitable for generating small and large focal spots sizes.

    摘要: A portable x-ray system includes a light weight x-ray head including an x-ray tube and a high voltage (HV) tank, wherein the HV tank comprises a compact voltage multiplier configured to receive a low voltage signal and generate a high voltage signal based on the received low voltage signal. Also, the portable x-ray system includes a carrying case comprising low voltage power electronics coupled to the light weight x-ray head through a low voltage cable, and configured to send the low voltage signal to the light weight x-ray head. In addition, the low voltage power electronics is distributed in a predefined space in the carrying case in such a way that a weight of the light weight x-ray head is counter weighed by a weight of the low voltage power electronics to stabilize the portable x-ray system when the light weight x-ray head is rotated in one or more directions.
