  • X-ray tube with passive ion collecting electrode
    Patent number: 8351576
    Abstract: An X-ray tube (1) comprising a cathode (3), an anode (5) and a further electrode (7) is proposed. Therein, the further electrode is arranged and adapted such that, due to impact of 'free electrons (27) coming from the anode (5), the further electrode (7) negatively charges to an electrical potential lying between a cathode's potential and an anode's potential. The further electrode (7) may be passive, i.e. substantially electrically isolated and not connected to an active external voltage supply. The further electrode (7) may act as an ion pump removing ions from within a primary electron beam (21) and furthermore also removing atoms of residual gas within the housing (11) of the X-ray tube (1). In order to further increase the ion pumping capability of the further electrode (7), a magnetic field generator (61) can be arranged adjacent to the further electrode (7).

  • System and method for optimizing order execution
    Patent number: 8352354
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides computer-implemented methods and systems for optimizing the executing an order, such as trading orders. An order may be electronically routed to an Execution Optimizer (“EO”). The EO may apply a particular profile to the order, corresponding to a particular portfolio manager. Next, the order, with the profile, may be routed, electronically, to a third party where a prediction model may be applied to the order, indicating trading parameters for the order. The order, with the trading parameters from the prediction model, may be passed back to the EO, where a rules engine may apply rules, specific to the executing financial institution, to the order. The order may then be passed to a selected broker for market trading.

  • Multiple energy X-ray source
    Patent number: 8351575
    Abstract: A source (19) for multiple energy X-ray generation in particular by field emitting carbon nanotubes (1, 2) is presented. In order to achieve a spatial overlap of the trajectories of the X-ray beams coming from different emitters, a focusing unit (7, 9) is supplied to the emitted electrons (28, 29). A fast switching between the emission of the different carbon nanotubes allows multiple kilovolt imaging. Independent determination of multiple focal spot parameters by the focusing unit leads to the possibilities of fast switching between different spot geometries and spatial resolutions. This might be seen in FIG. 1.

  • Output common mode voltage stabilizer over large common mode input range in a high speed differential amplifier
    Patent number: 8350622
    Abstract: A circuit includes a differential amplifier having a folded cascode architecture with a pair of cascode transistors. A sensing circuit senses a common mode input voltage of a differential input signal applied to the differential amplifier. A bias generator circuit generates a bias voltage for application to the pair of cascode transistors in the folded cascode architecture. The bias generator circuit is connected to an output of the sensing circuit such that the generated bias voltage has a value which is dependent on the sensed common mode input voltage. This dependence stabilizes a common mode output voltage from the differential amplifier in response to changes in the common mode input voltage.

  • Communication system and communication method
    Patent number: 8351610
    Abstract: To improve a communication system including two communication apparatuses so as to reduce a possibility of having communication decrypted by a third party. The communication system includes a first communication apparatus and a second communication apparatus, where one of the communication apparatuses encrypts transmission subject data and transmits generated encrypted data to the other communication apparatus which decrypts received encrypted data. Each of the communication apparatuses generates an algorithm used for encryption each time it performs the encryption or decryption. In this case, each of the communication apparatuses generates the algorithm by assigning past solutions to a solution generating algorithm capable of having the past solutions assigned thereto and thereby generating a new algorithm. The past solutions are erased when they are no longer used.
