  • Patent number: 12109439
    Abstract: A method of a radiotherapy or radiosurgery treatment comprises steps of: (a) providing a converging x-ray beam source configured for emitting a converging X-ray beam propagating along an axis thereof; (b) emitting the converging x-ray beam towards a volume of treatment (VOT) having a length along the axis of the converging X-ray beam ranging between 2 mm and 5 cm within a patient's body such that a waist portion is within the VOT; (c) propagating the beam through tissues previously located relative to the VOT (PO); the VOT per se and tissues distally located to the VOT (DO). The converging X-ray beam characterized by a convergent angle ranging between 2 and 30 degrees providing 80% to 100% of a maximum dose is received by the VOT and less than 60% of the maximum dose is received by the PO and the DO.

  • Patent number: 12089696
    Abstract: A sandal comprising an upper and a heel strap made of at least five members, including three firm members and two elastic members. The heel strap is allowed to pivot relative to the upper, wherein a rear part of the heel strap is allowed to further pivot relative to the anterior heel strap members. The sandal includes elastic members that are stretched while the heel strap pivots downward under a downward force on the heel strap while a foot slides into the sandal. The elastic members force the heel strap to pivot upward when the downward force is released.

  • Patent number: 11972875
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing burr-edged reflecting tile elements for a mosaic X-ray lens configured for forming an X-ray beam comprises steps of: (a) providing a single crystal having first and second faces thereof being parallel therebetween; single crystal having crystallographic planes thereof being parallel to first and second faces of the single crystal; the first face dedicated for reflecting an X-ray beam to be incident thereto; (b) cutting the single crystal by means of a wire electrical discharging machine normally to the main faces. The step of cutting the single crystal comprises moving a wire within a cut in direction from the second face to the first face; such that burrs configured for reflecting the X-ray beam to be incident thereto are formed on edges of the cut.

  • Publication number: 20220219011
    Abstract: A method of evaluating a maximal dose deposited by a non-uniform X-ray beam within a medium comprising the steps of: (a) irradiating said medium by said non-uniform X-ray beam penetrating into a depth of said medium along an axis of said X-ray beam; (b) incrementally measuring a number of transversal dose distributions at successive depths along said axis; (c) determining a maximum dose within each of said number of transversal dose distributions; and (d) calculating a 1-Dimesional depth dependance of said maximal doses obtained from said number of transversal dose distributions.
