Title: Innovations by Heinz-Jurgen Jacob
Introduction
Heinz-Jurgen Jacob is a notable inventor based in Norderstedt, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of X-ray technology, holding a total of 4 patents. His work has advanced the design and functionality of electron tubes and rotary-anode X-ray tubes.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is for a rotary-anode X-ray tube. This invention features a plain bearing, specifically a spiral groove bearing, which includes a bearing shaft and a bearing shell. The bearing shell is primarily made of molybdenum and/or tungsten or their alloys, and it consists of at least two portions. A liquid lubricant is present between the bearing shaft and the bearing shell, which reduces material consumption and manufacturing effort. Connection elements made of weldable material are provided on the outer side of the bearing portions, allowing for a welded joint.
Another significant patent by Jacob is for an electron tube with an adjustable cathode structure. This X-ray tube includes a cathode arrangement with an electron emitter connected to supporting pins. The design allows for simple adjustment of the filament's position, as the fixing elements are connected to the cathode structure in one region and to the supporting pin in another region. A deformation zone between these regions enables the adjustment of the electron emitter's position relative to the cathode structure.
