Patent number: 10964439Abstract: An X-ray diffraction apparatus having a solar slit, and a method for preventing the diffraction image on a detector from spreading in the in-plane direction even when an X-ray irradiation region spreads over the sample surface due to measurement by GIXD, thereby allowing for measurement with a short measurement time and a high resolution. The soller slit 100 includes a plurality of metallic thin plates 110, each being perpendicular to the bottom surface, which are arcuately arranged with a predetermined angular interval between each other so as to pass X-rays in a radiating direction from a particular focus, the soller slit being provided to be used at a position through which X-rays diffracted on a sample surface pass, the particular focus being the center of a goniometer circle, the X-rays being irradiated on a sample at an angle for GIXD.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2018Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: RIGAKU CORPORATIONInventors: Ladislav Pina, Adolf Inneman, Kazuhiko Omote, Shintaro Kobayashi

Patent number: 7127037Abstract: A Soller slit device is provided for collimation of high energy radiation, such as X-ray or EUV radiation, and has a low angle of divergence (less than 0.1°) and a high transmission efficiency (60 to 80% or greater). The Soller slit is made up of multiple, parallel blades of low-density material, such as glass, mica, or the like, which can be treated to reduce reflectivity. The Soller slit device of the invention advantageously provides an increased peak intensity and decreased peak width in diffraction patterns produced in high energy diffractometry applications, such as X-ray diffractometry.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2003Date of Patent: October 24, 2006Assignee: Bede Scientific Instruments Ltd.Inventors: David Keith Bowen, Ladislav Pina, Adolf Inneman, Stephan Menzer

Publication number: 20060056597Abstract: A pipe coupling flange (16) comprising a central bore and having first and second ports for receiving valves and a plurality of channels, wherein a take-off channel links the first port with the central bore, a feed channel links the first port directly or indirectly with the second port; and wherein the second port links directly or indirectly with the exterior of the flange. Across two pipe flanges (16), and fixed directly to the periphery of each flange there may be a Bridge (30). The bridge (30) may be capable of having process media (24) monitoring devices fixed directly to it.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2003Publication date: March 16, 2006Applicant: BEDE PICInventors: Adolf Inneman, Ladislav Pina, David Bowen, Rene Hudec, Stephan Menzer

Patent number: 6881965Abstract: The invention provides a miniaturized multi-foil object for use in a laboratory environment and other practical applications that require small or portable and/or disposable high energy radiation optics. Specifically, the invention finds utility in high energy lithographic systems, such as X-ray or EUV lithography, as a condenser optic or in topographic systems. In lithographic systems, the present invention exhibits square symmetry, a relatively large aperture size, and disposability. Additionally, the multi-foil optic of the invention provides a high throughput efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2003Date of Patent: April 19, 2005Assignee: Bede Scientific Instruments Ltd.Inventors: David Keith Bowen, Ladislav Pina, Adolf Inneman, Rene Hudec, Stephan Menzer

Patent number: 5893549Abstract: Mirror support means having a metal block machined with a first pair of slots shaped to receive a first pair of curved mirrors and a second pair of slots shaped to receive a second pair of curved mirrors. The block is sufficiently resiliently deformable to enable the slots to be widened to receive the mirrors and then for the mirrors to be clamped in position, the slots being accurately machined so that the mirrors are bent into their required forms of curvature. The use of a unitary block simplifies the construction and setting up of the support means for the mirrors.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 1996Date of Patent: April 13, 1999Assignee: Medical Research CouncilInventors: Ladislav Pina, Adolf Inneman, Ulrich Wolfgang Arndt, David Keith Bowen
