20120140889 | FAST MEASUREMENT OF X-RAY DIFFRACTION FROM TILTED LAYERS - A method for analysis includes directing a converging beam of X-rays toward a surface of a sample having multiple single-crystal layers, including at least a first layer and a second layer that is formed over and tilted relative to the first layer. The X-rays that are diffracted from each of the first and second layers are sensed simultaneously while resolving the sensed X-rays as a function of angle so as to generate a diffraction spectrum including at least a first diffraction peak due to the first layer and a second diffraction peak due to the second layer. The diffraction spectrum is analyzed so as to identify a characteristic of at least the second layer. | 06-07-2012 |

The detector assembly is configured to detect the X-ray beams diffracted from the sample and to produce respective electrical signals in response to the detected X-ray beams. The scanning assembly is configured to move the sample relative to the source assembly and the detector assembly along the second axis. The processor is configured to identify defects in the sample by processing the electrical signals, which are produced by the detector assembly while the sample is moved. | 12-24-2015 |

20140035272 | CONNECTION DEVICE - A connector is provided for connecting an auxiliary device, such as a filter, to a fluid circulating system, such as a central heating system. The connector comprises a body with inlet and outlet ports, suitable for connection to the fluid circulating system, and an auxiliary port suitable for connection to the auxiliary device. The auxiliary port has a central axis and diverts fluid from the inlet to the auxiliary device and returns fluid therefrom to the outlet port. A collar surrounds the auxiliary port. First and second releasable locking means secure the collar to the auxiliary device. The locking means are arranged such that when both are locked relative movement between the connector and the auxiliary device is prevented. However, when the first locking means is released and the second locking means is locked, relative rotation between the connector and the auxiliary device about the central axis is permitted, and a predetermined amount of relative movement along the axis is also permitted. In this way, the connector can be fitted in a variety of orientations relative to the auxiliary device and angular relative adjustment is possible while the two remain connected and sealed. | 02-06-2014 |
