Patent number: 10361056Abstract: An x-ray device utilizes a band of material to exchange charge through tribocharging within a chamber maintained at low fluid pressure. The charge is utilized to generate x-rays within the housing, which may pass through a window of the housing. Various contact rods may be used as part of the tribocharging process.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2018Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: Tribo LabsInventors: Carlos G. Camara, Mark G. Valentine, Zachary J. Gamlieli, Benjamin A. Lucas, David M. Kamkar, Pedro Cortes, Jr., Vasish Narayan M., Gilberto Jimenez, Daniel E. Cuadra

Patent number: 9748068Abstract: An x-ray transmission device includes two surfaces in frictional contact within a low fluid pressure environment provided by a housing substantially opaque to x-rays. Materials of the two surfaces are selected such that the frictional contact generates relative charging between the surfaces. The housing includes a window substantially transparent to x-rays, and an electron target, for example a metal, is on an interior surface of the window. The electron target faces the surface that is relatively negatively charged, such that electrons accelerated from that surface, or accelerated due to the negative charge of that surface strike the electron target to generate x-rays, which may be transmitted through the window.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2016Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: Tribogenics, Inc.Inventor: Carlos G. Camara
