A method () includes executing a wear protocol to derive a start-stop (SS) wear, a steady-state operating hours (OH) wear, or a combination thereof, of a test journal bearing system (). The method () further includes observing operations of an engine () via one or more sensors to determine a number of start-stops, steady-state operating hours, or a combination thereof. The method () also includes determining a determined journal bearing system wear () based on applying a physics-based model () of a journal bearing system () and the transfer function to the number of start-stops, the steady-state operating hours, or to the combination thereof. The method () additionally includes executing one or more actionable items () on the engine () based on the determined journal bearing system wear ().

System and method for improved journal bearing operations

A surface textured roller and a surface textured rolling element bearing comprising a plurality of micropores in a surface thereof is presented. The plurality of micropores may have a geometry selected from a hemisphere, a diamond shape, an ellipsoid, and a cone. The surface textured rollers may be used, for example, in a gear box and/or a wind turbine drivetrain.

Surface textured rollers

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.

High flux X-ray target and assembly

A system and method for providing a sealing arrangement in an X-ray tube are provided. The X-ray tube includes a rotating portion having a plurality of ball bearings and a liquid metal within a housing having the ball bearings therein. The rotating portion is configured to rotate an anode. The X-ray tube further includes a sealing portion formed by a liquid metal vacuum interface configured in a radial direction to resist flow of liquid metal from the housing to a vacuum portion.
