Abstract: An x-ray source can have a reduced voltage gradient and a consistent voltage gradient, thus allowing less insulation, reduced arcing failure, or both. The x-ray source can comprise a bipolar voltage multiplier and an x-ray tube. The bipolar voltage multiplier can include a negative voltage multiplier and a positive voltage multiplier. An axis extending from an input voltage of the negative voltage multiplier to a negative output bias voltage defines a negative axis. An axis extending from an input voltage of the positive voltage multiplier to a positive output bias voltage defines a positive axis. An angle A1 between the negative axis and the positive axis can be selected for optimal voltage gradient.

Abstract: An electrostatic-dissipation device comprising an x-ray tube and an electrically-conductive shell that is electrically coupled to an anode of the x-ray tube can be used for electrostatic dissipation, especially at a bottom side of a flat-panel-display (FPD).

Abstract: In one embodiment, the invention includes an x-ray source having a cathode with an elongated blade oriented substantially transverse with respect to a longitudinal axis of the cathode. The blade can be pointed towards an anode. In another embodiment, the invention includes an x-ray source having a window with an annular-shape, forming a hollow-ring. A convex portion of a half-ball-shape of an anode can extend into a hollow of the annular-shape of the window. In another embodiment, the invention includes an x-ray source having an anode with a dome shape having a concave side facing the electron emitter.

Abstract: An x-ray tube including dual, electrically-conductive emitter tubes to support and provide electrical power to an electron emitter. A method of evacuating and sealing the x-ray tube by drawing a vacuum on the x-ray tube through an inner tube of dual emitter tubes, then pinching the inner tube to seal off the enclosure and to maintain a vacuum therein.
