  • Publication number: 20230386694
    Abstract: A method is for manufacturing a radiation window for an X-ray measurement apparatus. The method includes producing an etch stop layer on a surface of a carrier and producing a foil structure on a side of the etch stop layer opposite the carrier. A combined structure with the etch stop layer and the foil structure is attached to a region around an opening in a housing of the X-ray measurement apparatus with the foil structure facing the housing so that an edge strengthening structure is arranged between the combined structure and an edge region around the opening in the housing or partly inside the foil structure. At least part of the carrier is detached before attaching the combined structure or detaching at least part of the carrier after attaching the combined structure, wherein the combined structure includes the carrier. A radiation window is for an X-ray measurement apparatus.

  • Patent number: 11469086
    Abstract: A method is for manufacturing a multilayer radiation window for an X-ray measurement apparatus. The method includes: producing a gas diffusion stop layer made of silicon nitride on a polished surface of a carrier; producing at least one combined layer on an opposite side of the gas diffusion stop layer than the carrier; attaching the combined structure including the carrier, the gas diffusion stop layer, the at least one combined layer to a region around an opening in a support structure with the at least one combined layer facing the support structure; and etching away the carrier. The at least one combined layer includes: a light attenuation layer made of aluminium, and a strengthening layer. A radiation window is manufactured with the method.

  • Patent number: 9564252
    Abstract: In a method for manufacturing a radiation window there is produced a layered structure where an etch stop layer exists between a carrier and a solid layer. A blank containing at least a part of each of the carrier, the etch stop layer, and the solid layer is attached to a radiation window frame. At least a part of what of the carrier was contained in the blank is removed, thus leaving a foil attached to the radiation window frame, wherein the foil contains at least a part of each of the etch stop layer and the solid layer.

  • Patent number: 7975673
    Abstract: A fuel injection arrangement for a piston engine, the arrangement comprising an injector nozzle (1) for injecting fuel into the combustion chamber (6) of the cylinder. A Theological actuator (15) is arranged in connection with the injector nozzle (1), the actuator comprising a space (18) containing Theological fluid and an apparatus (19, 20) by means of which the viscosity of the Theological fluid can be changed for controlling the fuel injection.
