20100104072Multi-Energy Radiography Using Monoenergetic Pulsed Source - A method and apparatus for multi-energy object inspection using a brilliant x-ray source. A first mono-energetic x-ray image of an object at a first selected energy is generated. A second mono-energetic x-ray image of the object at a second selected energy is generated. The first selected energy is different than the second selected energy. Additional mono-energetic x-ray images may be generated at energies different than previous energies up to n selected energies. The mono-energetic x-ray images are mathematically combined and processed to form a result. The result of processing the mono-energetic x-ray images is presented. The result comprises processed mono-energetic x-ray image data describing materials in the object with greater sensitivity, identifying the layers, and identifying the material composition than in the first image or the second image.04-29-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100027753HIGH FLUX X-RAY TARGET AND ASSEMBLY - An X-ray tube anode assembly and an X-ray tube assembly are disclosed that include an X-ray target and a drive assembly configured to provide an oscillatory motion to the X-ray target. The drive assembly is configured to provide an oscillatory motion to the target assembly.02-04-2010
20110026675Tangent Radiography Using Brilliant X-Ray Source - A method and apparatus for measuring a structure. An x-ray system and the structure are positioned relative to each other. The x-ray system comprises a gas source configured to provide a gas, a laser system configured to emit a laser beam, a steering system, and a detector. The steering system is configured to direct a first portion of the laser beam into the gas such that an electron beam is generated by the laser beam interacting with the gas and is configured to direct a second portion of the laser beam into the electron beam such that a collimated x-ray beam is formed. The detector is configured to detect the collimated x-ray beam. The collimated x-ray beam is emitted with the structure positioned relative to the x-ray system.02-03-2011
20110129053SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING IONIZATION SUSCEPTIBILITY USING X-RAYS - A system for determining ionization susceptibility including a sample, an x-ray generator configured to generate a pulsed x-ray beam, and focusing optics disposed between the sample and the x-ray generator, the focusing optics being configured to focus the pulsed x-ray beam into a spot on the sample.06-02-2011

20090131081ADJUSTING WLAN SCANNING PARAMETERS BASED ON RATE OF CHANGE OF LOCATION OF MOBILE DEVICE - A mobile device adjusts its scanning parameters, depending on the rate of change of location of the mobile device. Examples of scanning parameters that may be adjusted include a back-off parameter that affects the time between successive scans, and a scan/don't scan parameter that according to its value prevents the mobile device from scanning or permits the mobile device to scan. The mobile device may maintain different back-off parameters for different types of scans. Determining which scanning parameters to adjust and how to adjust them may depend on whether the rate of change of location of the mobile device does not exceed a low threshold, exceeds a high threshold, or exceeds the low threshold and does not exceed the high threshold. Different thresholds may be applied by the mobile device for different types of scans.05-21-2009
