Patent number: 7057390Abstract: An improved raster magnet driver for a linear particle beam is based on an H-bridge technique. Four branches of power HEXFETs form a two-by-two switch. Switching the HEXFETs in a predetermined order and at the right frequency produces a triangular current waveform. An H-bridge controller controls switching sequence and timing. The magnetic field of the coil follows the shape of the waveform and thus steers the beam using a triangular rather than a sinusoidal waveform. The system produces a raster pattern having a highly uniform raster density distribution, eliminates target heating from non-uniform raster density distributions, and produces higher levels of beam current.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2004Date of Patent: June 6, 2006Assignee: Southeastern Univ. Research Assn.Inventors: Nikolai I. Sinkine, Chen Yan, Cornelis Apeldoorn, Jeffrey Glenn Dail, Randolph Frank Wojcik, William Gunning

Publication number: 20040099627Abstract: A safety cover comprises an inner plug and an outer cover. The coupling portions of the inner plug and outer cover are alternatively arranged with stopper and ribs. The inner surfaces of the limiting stoppers coupling to the ribs are inclined. When the ribs of the inner plug are separated from the limiting stoppers of the outer cover, the inner plug dose not rotate with the rotation of the outer cover. When the user presses the outer cover slightly, so that the buckle ring of the outer cover is embedded into the annular flange of the inner plug, the stopper ribs of the outer cover exactly slide along the limiting stoppers of the inclined surface of the inner plug to buckle the limiting stoppers. Thereby, the stopper ribs of the outer cover resist against the limiting stoppers of the inner plug to rotate therewith.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2002Publication date: May 27, 2004Inventor: Fu Chen Yan
