Abstract:
An x-ray generator includes a housing, a cathode block that is arranged in the housing and emits electrons via a field emission scheme, an anode block that is arranged in the housing and generates x-rays in response to the electrons emitted from the cathode block and collide with the anode block, and a heat sink block that contacts the cathode block and dissipates heat generated therein to an outside of the housing.
Abstract:
An electron beam device having a tubular body of elongate shape with an electron exit window extending in the longitudinal direction of the tubular body. The tubular body is at least partly forming a vacuum chamber, the vacuum chamber comprising therein a cathode comprising a cathode housing having an elongate shape, and at least one electron generating filament and a control grid both extending along the elongate shape of the cathode housing. The control grid and the cathode housing are attached to each other by attachment mechanisms. Free longitudinal end portions of either the control grid or the cathode housing are bent in a direction towards each other to form bulge-like shapes for the formation of electron beam shaping electrodes. The invention is further comprising a method of manufacturing the electron beam device.

Abstract:
A cap can comprise an aperture, and an attenuator may block the aperture during at least one point in time. In one embodiment, the attenuator can include a cover that may be displaced by a spring. In another embodiment, an electron gun, such as an electron gun, may comprise a support cap with an aperture, a displaceable cover that may cover the aperture, and a spring. A material attached to the spring and acting as a fuse may release the spring and expose the aperture after an electrical current blows the nullfuse.null In yet another embodiment, a method for using a tube may comprise evacuating the tube while a cover covers an aperture in the support cap of a electron gun that is at least partially in the tube and moving the cover to expose the aperture after the tube is sealed.
Abstract:
An electric discharge device has a conductive shell mounted in a non-conductive tube. A non-conductive collar can mount in the conductive shell. The collar includes an annular neck and an annular flange. The neck is encircled by a central annular groove located between a spaced pair of circumferential plateaus. The plateaus are radially dimensioned to fit in the conductive shell. The annular flange is coaxially affixed to and radially larger than the annular neck.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an electron beam device having a tubular body of elongate shape with an electron exit window extending in the longitudinal direction of the tubular body. Said tubular body is at least partly forming a vacuum chamber, said vacuum chamber comprising therein a cathode comprising a cathode housing (112) having an elongate shape, and at least one electron generating filament (120) and a control grid (114) both extending along the elongate shape of the cathode housing (112). The control grid (114) and the cathode housing (112) are attached to each other by attachments means (118). Free longitudinal end portions of either the control grid (114) or the cathode housing (112) are bent in a direction towards each other to form bulge-like shapes (126) for the formation of electron beam shaping electrodes. The invention is further comprising a method of manufacturing said electron beam device.
Abstract:
Certain embodiments described herein are directed to devices that can be used to align the components of a source assembly in a source housing. In some examples, a terminal lens configured to couple to the housing through respective alignment features can be used to retain the source components in a source housing to provide a source assembly.

A material attached to the spring and acting as a fuse may release the spring and expose the aperture after an electrical current blows the "fuse." In yet another embodiment, a method for using a tube may comprise evacuating the tube while a cover covers an aperture in the support cap of a electron gun that is at least partially in the tube and moving the cover to expose the aperture after the tube is sealed.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pierced electron gun which is made easy to assemble by reducing the number of parts while suppressing increase of consumed power and increase of perveance in a heater. SOLUTION: The electron gun equipped with a Wehnelt electrode for focusing an electron beam has a structure having a negative electrode emitting electrons, a heater cap having a built-in heater giving the negative electrode thermal energy for emitting the electrons, a retainer for fitting a peripheral edge of the negative electrode to the heater cap to provide and fix the negative electrode on to the heater cap, a Wehnelt electrode part formed in a shape that a mean angle of the surface conforms to a piercing angle, and a Wehnelt support, in which at least 3 heater cap supporting members for supporting and fixing the heater cap in such a manner that an electron emitting surface of the negative electrode and an opening provided in the Wehnelt electrode part are located at positions satisfying a prescribed perveance have been integrally formed.
