Latest Patents
One of his latest inventions is a miniature x-ray source capable of producing broad spectrum x-ray emission over a wide range of x-ray energies. This miniature x-ray source comprises a compact vacuum tube assembly containing a cathode, an anode, a high voltage feedthru for delivering high voltage to the anode, a getter for maintaining high vacuum, a connection for an initial vacuum pump down and crimp-off, and a high voltage connection for attaching a compact high voltage cable to the high voltage feedthru. Notably, at least a portion of the vacuum tube wall is highly x-ray transparent and made from materials such as boron nitride. The compact size and potential for remote operation allow the x-ray source to be placed adjacent to a material sample undergoing analysis or in proximity to the region to be treated for medical applications.
Another of his inventions is a miniature x-ray source utilizing a hot filament cathode. This source has a millimeter scale size and is also capable of producing broad spectrum x-ray emission over a wide range of x-ray energies. The miniature source consists of a compact vacuum tube assembly containing the hot filament cathode, an anode, a high voltage feedthru for delivering high voltage to the cathode, a getter for maintaining high vacuum, a connector for initial vacuum pump down and crimp-off, and a high voltage connection for attaching a compact high voltage cable to the high voltage feedthru. Similar to his other invention, at least a portion of the vacuum tube wall is fabricated from highly x-ray transparent materials, such as sapphire, diamond, or boron nitride.
