    摘要: An anode for an X-ray tube can include a ceramic body, e.g., material that includes yttrium-oxide derivatives. Upon collision with an anode, the kinetic energy of an electron beam in an X-ray tube is converted to high frequency electromagnetic waves, i.e., X-rays. An anode with a ceramic body can reduce costs and/or weight, extend the life of the anode or associated components (e.g., bearings) and simultaneously provide a high heat storage capacity.

    摘要: An x-ray transmission device includes two surfaces in frictional contact within a low fluid pressure environment provided by a housing substantially opaque to x-rays. Materials of the two surfaces are selected such that the frictional contact generates relative charging between the surfaces. The housing includes a window substantially transparent to x-rays, and an electron target, for example a metal, is on an interior surface of the window. The electron target faces the surface that is relatively negatively charged, such that electrons accelerated from that surface, or accelerated due to the negative charge of that surface strike the electron target to generate x-rays, which may be transmitted through the window.

    摘要: An X-ray generator including a cathode, an anode provided with two X-ray generation zones, a casing in which the cathode and anode are accommodated, two air cylinders for causing the anode to move, two linear guides for guiding the movement of the anode, and a bellows serving as a seal member. The air cylinders and the linear guides are provided at different positions on a surface orthogonal to a center axis of the bellows. The air cylinders and the linear guides are provided uniformly in relation to the center axis.

    摘要: A rotary X-ray anode has a support body and a focal track formed on the support body. The support body and the focal track are produced as a composite by powder metallurgy. The support body is formed from molybdenum or a molybdenum-based alloy and the focal track is formed from tungsten or a tungsten-based alloy. Here, in the conclusively heat-treated rotary X-ray anode, at least one portion of the focal track is located in a non-recrystallized and/or in a partially recrystallized structure.

    摘要: Disclosed are targets for generating x-rays using electron beams and their method of fabrication. They comprise a number of microstructures fabricated from an x-ray target material arranged in close thermal contact with a substrate such that the heat is more efficiently drawn out of the x-ray target material. This allows irradiation of the x-ray generating substance with higher electron density or higher energy electrons, leading to greater x-ray brightness, without inducing damage or melting. The microstructures may comprise conventional x-ray target materials (such as tungsten) that are patterned at micron-scale dimensions on a thermally conducting substrate, such as diamond. The microstructures may have any number of geometric shapes to best generate x-rays of high brightness and efficiently disperse heat. In some embodiments, the target comprising microstructures may be incorporated into a rotating anode geometry, to enhance x-ray generation in such systems.
