| 20090129552 | X-RAY OPTIC WITH VARYING FOCAL POINTS - An x-ray optical device delivers an x-ray beam with variable convergence. The convergence or the divergence of the x-ray beams varies over different parts of the reflector. The device may include an adjustable aperture to further select the convergence or divergence. The adjustable aperture selects the convergence angle by selectively occluding a portion of the x-ray beams. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090279670 | X-RAY GENERATOR WITH POLYCAPILLARY OPTIC - An x-ray generating system includes a source of x-ray radiation, a waveguide bundle optic for collimating the x-ray radiation produced by the source, a focusing optic for focusing the collimated x-ray radiation to a focal point. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20090296889 | HIGH INTENSITY X-RAY BEAM SYSTEM - An x-ray optical system for producing high intensity x-ray beams. The system includes an optic with a surface formed by revolving a defined contour around a revolving axis that is different than the geometric symmetric axis of the optic. Accordingly, the system may use a source that has a circular emission profile or a large source to provide increased flux to a sample. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20100284516 | TWO DIMENSIONAL SMALL ANGLE X-RAY SCATTERING CAMERA - A two-dimensional x-ray scattering camera includes a source, an optic, a detector, and a pair of collimating blocks. The source emits x-ray beams that are reflected by the optic towards a sample. The detector detects scattering from the sample, the pair of collimating blocks is positioned between the optic and the detector to collimate the beam. A bottom surface of one block is substantially parallel a top surface of the other block, and the blocks are rotatable relative to the beam about a pivot. The system forms a two-dimensional beam that is symmetric about the primary beam axis at the detector position, regardless how the beam is collimated by the collimating blocks. The system therefore eliminates smearing and can be used for anisotropic small angle scattering at high resolution and low Q | 11-11-2010 |
| 20110064199 | CRYSTALLITE SIZE ANALYSIS METHOD AND APPARATUS USING POWDER X-RAY DIFFRACTION - A sample is supported on a flat rotary specimen stage and irradiated at an incidence angle θ via a divergence slit with an x-ray beam emitted by an x-ray source, the diffraction beam from the sample is received via a divergence slit and the light-receiving slit by an x-ray detector placed at the position of a diffraction angle | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110085644 | Multiconfiguration X-ray Optical System - An x-ray optical system includes an x-ray source which emits x-rays, a first optical element which conditions the x-rays to form two beams and at least a second optical element which further conditions at least one of the two beams from the first optical element. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20110188636 | Multi-Beam X-Ray System - A multi-beam x-ray system includes an x-ray source which emits x-rays and a housing with a first part and a second part. The second part is moveable relative to the first part and includes a plurality of optics of different performance characteristics. Each optic, through the movement of the second part relative to the first part, is positioned to a working position so that the optic receives the x-rays from the x-ray source and directs the x-rays with the desired performance attributes to a desired location. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20110280530 | X-RAY GENERATOR WITH POLYCAPILLARY OPTIC - An x-ray generating system includes a source of x-ray radiation, a waveguide bundle optic for collimating the x-ray radiation produced by the source, a focusing optic for focusing the collimated x-ray radiation to a focal point. | 11-17-2011 |
