    摘要: A z-axis magnetic field gradient coil for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometry includes an etched double-sided flexible sheet having via connections running through the sheet. The vias interconnect two conductive patterns formed on opposite sides of the sheet. Each z-axis current lead is adjacent to another z-axis current lead oriented in the opposite direction, such that the z-axis current components of the two patterns cancel each other. The resulting net current component is in the x-y plane, and generates the desired z-axis magnetic field gradient.

    摘要: An X-ray tube has an anode and a photocathode inside a vacuum envelope and an electron multiplier is disposed between them. Such an electron multiplier may be a plurality of sequentially disposed dynodes or a microchannel plate. Because of the secondary electron emission from such an electron multiplier, a higher-power radiation is obtained without requiring a high optical power level to generate photoelectrons. The vacuum envelope may be of a rotary type with the anode and photocathode having annular regions.

    摘要: Low-temperature (cryogenic) radio-frequency (RF) coils for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) applications include composite multi-layered structures including an internal normal metal layer clad on both sides by external high-purity annealed aluminum layers. The magnetic susceptibilities of the internal and external layers are opposite in sign, and the thicknesses of the layers are chosen such that the composite structure has a net magnetic susceptibility equal to that of its surroundings (vacuum or support material). The internal layer can have a higher resistivity and magnetoresistance than the external layers. The use of high-purity, annealed aluminum for the external layers allows relatively high Q-factors for the cryogenic coils.

    摘要: A real-time ultrasonic imaging system is disclosed which includes an array of transducers adapted for propagating ultrasonic energy into a body to be ultrasonically examined and for receiving reradiated energy from points within the body. A plurality of signal channels each includes a transmitter branch and a receiver branch associated with respective transmit and receive transducers, or both branches may share a single transducer. A transmitter branch activates a transducer to propagate the sonic energy and a receiver branch receives from the transducer electrical signals corresponding to the reradiated energy. Memory means in each receiver branch receive and store data indicative of the signal level passed to the channel by its associated transducer. Display means are provided for receiving the data from the memory means in each of the channels and for combining and processing such data to effect a real-time display of the bodily portion being examined. Timing generator means in each of channels, connected to the transmitter and memory means associated with that channel, activate the respective transducers at predetermined times to phase the transducers to enable steering and focusing of the array. The timing generator means also function to gate data into the memory and at a later time to gate out the data from the memory (at predetermined intervals), thereby controlling the bodily points from which the reradiated sonic energy is received and to enable steering and focusing of the transducer array during the receiving operation of such array. Control logic means are connected to the timing generator means for enabling the former to provide signals to the memory means and transmitters in each of the said channels.

    摘要: An X-ray tube rotating anode is cooled with a liquid metal functioning as a recirculated heat exchange fluid and/or a metal film in a gap between the anode and a stationary structure. The liquid metal is confined to the gap by (a) a labyrinth having a coating that is not wetted by the liquid, (b) a magnetic structure, or (c) a wick. The liquid metal recirculated through the anode is cooled in a heat exchanger located either outside the tube or in the tube so it is surrounded by the anode. The heat exchanger in the tube includes a mass of metal in thermal contact with the recirculating liquid metal and including numerous passages for a cooling fluid, e.g. water. A high thermal conductivity path is provided between an anode region bombarded by electrons and a central region of the tube where heat is extracted. In one embodiment the high thermal conductivity is achieved by stacked pyrolytic structures having crystalline axes arranged so there is high heat conductivity radially of the region and lower thermal heat conductivity normal to the high heat conductivity direction.

    摘要: A small sample of material is introduced into a vacuum to be analyzed, by ionization of atoms or molecular fragments of the sample using an electron or photon beam. The ionized species are trapped in a structure that defines electric fields or a combination of electric and magnetic fields in such a way that their motions are confined to the interior of the trap and that their motions within the trap are characterized by unique and discrete frequencies of oscillation dependent on the mass-to-charge ratio of the individual species. In order to provide for the detection of the frequencies of the motions, additional electrical signals are applied to the trapping structure so as to cause the motions to take place with a considerable degree of coherence. Alternatively, the coherence may be caused by creation of the ions during a very short pulse of the electron or photon beam at a position within the trapping structure but displaced from a positon of equilibrium. An electrical response to the individual motions of the ions, taking place at discrete frequencies related to their mass-to-charge ratios, frequency analyzed to determine the mass-to-charge ratios of the ions contribute to that electrical response, thereby indicating the types of ions present and their respective quantities.
