Abstract:
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for ion traps are described herein. One apparatus includes a number of microwave (MW) rails and a number of radio frequency (RF) rails formed with substantially parallel longitudinal axes and with substantially coplanar upper surfaces. The apparatus includes two sequences of direct current (DC) electrodes with each sequence formed to extend substantially parallel to the substantially parallel longitudinal axes of the MW rails and the RF rails. The apparatus further includes a number of through-silicon vias (TSVs) formed through a substrate of the ion trap and a trench capacitor formed in the substrate around at least one TSV.
Abstract:
The electromagnet mounting frame is characterized by including: a top plate for supporting the electromagnet; plural legs for sustaining the top plate; and a cable placement member fixed to the plural legs and placed below the top plate; wherein a cable placement portion in which a power cable for the electromagnet is to be placed so as to extend in a traveling direction of the charged particle beam, is formed between the cable placement member and the top plate; and wherein the cable placement portion has a cable placement width (widthwise inter-leg length) that is a length thereof in a direction perpendicular to the traveling direction of the charged particle beam, and that is longer than a width of the electromagnet in the direction perpendicular to the traveling direction of the charged particle beam.
Abstract:
In the present invention, a cathode for an x-ray tube is formed with a large area flat emitter. To reduce aberrations to a minimum the emission area in the flat emitter has a non-rectangular shape and focusing pads arranged around the emitter. In an exemplary embodiment, the flat emitter has a non-rectangular polygonal shape for an emission area on the emitter in order to increase the emission current from the emitter at standard voltage levels without the need to run the emitters at a higher temperature, add additional emitters to the cathode and/or to coat the emitters with a low work function material.
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.
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.
