摘要： A method and a system for x-ray treatment of, for example, cancer or restenosis prevention inside a living body is disclosed. A miniature x-ray tube (1) is provided with at least one pair of electrodes (6, 8), the electrodes alternatingly serving as anode and cathode, respectively. A power supply (13) is connected to the electrodes, and a switching unit of the power supply alternates the electrical potential across the electrodes. With the x-ray tube according to the invention the temperature increase at the site of treatment is limited, thereby providing an effective treatment without unduly prolonged treatment duration.

摘要： An isolation valve system includes a main body (32), an actuator body (34) and a sealing membrane (307) arranged at a high pressure portion (36) of the isolation valve system. The sealing membrane mechanically attaches the actuator body to the main body. The sealing membrane further seals the high pressure portion from a low pressure portion (38). A burst plug (315) is arranged against the main body and supports the actuator body. An activation arrangement (50) is arranged for allowing an at least partial displacement of the burst plug, typically causing a phase transition. The sealing membrane is dimensioned to break when the actuator body is moved due to the displacement of the burst plug. The isolation valve system includes preferably a stack (30) of substrates (301-304) being bonded together. The substrates have micromechanical structures, which form at least the actuator body and the sealing membrane.

摘要： In manufacturing a pressure sensor a recess that will form part of the sensor cavity is formed in a lower silicon substrate. An SOI-wafer having a monocrystalline silicon layer on top of a substrate is bonded to the lower silicon substrate closing the recess and forming the cavity. The supporting substrate of the SOI-wafer is then etched away, the portion of the monocrystalline layer located above the recess forming the sensor diaphragm. The oxide layer of the SOI-wafer here acts as an “ideal” etch stop in the case where the substrate wafer is removed by dry (plasma) or wet etching using e.g. KOH. This is due to high etch selectivity between silicon and oxide for some etch processes and it results in a diaphragm having a very accurately defined and uniform thickness. The cavity is evacuated by forming a opening to the cavity and then sealing the cavity by closing the opening using LPCVD. Sensor paths for sensing the deflection of the diaphragm are applied on the outer or inner surface of the diaphragm. The monocrystalline diphragm gives the sensor a good long-term stability. Also the sensor path can be made of monocrystalline material, this giving the sensor even better good long-term characteristics. An increased sensitivity can be obtained by making active portions of the sensor paths freely extending, unsupported by other material of the pressure sensor, by suitable etching procedures.

摘要： A wafer assembly (30) includes a substrate (71), in turn including a wafer (70) or a stack of wafers. The wafer assembly (30) further includes an electrical connection (32) arranged through at least a part of the substrate (71). The electrical connection (32) is made by low-resistance silicon. The electrical connection (32) is positioned in a hole (84) penetrating at least a part of the substrate (71). A surface (78) of the substrate (71) confining the hole (84) is electrically insulating. The electrical connection (32) has at least one protrusion (75), which protrudes transversally to a main extension (83) of the hole (84) and the protrusion (75) protrudes outside a minimum hole diameter (85), as projected in the main extension (83) of the hole (84). Preferably, the protrusion (75) is supported by a support surface (81) of the substrate (71). A manufacturing method is also disclosed.
