Patent number: 9374878Abstract: Systems and methods for replacing coolant of an x-ray tube assembly having a closed cooling system include a service port that is operatively installed in the cooling system and a vacuum assisted service kit that is operatively coupled to the service port. Used coolant is drained from the x-ray tube assembly, and thereafter a vacuum is drawn on the x-ray tube assembly via the service kit. Replacement coolant within a vacuum tank of the service kit is degassed under a vacuum. The degassed replacement coolant is provided into the cooling system from the vacuum tank, preferably by pushing under pressure with an inert gas to prevent the introduction of any air into the replacement coolant. The replacement coolant may be pressurized in the cooling system with the inert gas. Thereafter, the service port is closed, and the service kit may be disconnected from the service port.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignee: SOUTHERN LINAC, LLCInventors: Clark Bowlsbey, Edward Q.

Patent number: 8729506Abstract: A replacement light apparatus includes a base plate, a grip plate, a bearing member, and a light source. The grip plate extends from a first surface of the base plate. The bearing member extends from a second surface of the base plate that is opposite the first surface. The bearing member includes a bearing surface disposed in a first plane that is perpendicular to a second plane, in which the base plate is disposed. The light source is mounted on the bearing surface of the bearing member and adapted to project a cone of light centered on an illumination axis that extends perpendicular to the bearing surface.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2012Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Southern Linac, LLCInventors: Clark Bowlsbey, Edward Q.
