Abstract: In an embodiment, a system is provided that includes an electron gun, a focusing system, and a housing. The electron gun can include a cold cathode electron source and an extraction electrode. The focusing system can be configured to focus a beam of electrons extracted from the electron gun to a focal region. The housing can include the electron gun and extend along a housing axis in the direction of the electron beam. The cold cathode source is configured to emit electrons at a first operating pressure that is higher than a second operating pressure at the focal region of the electron beam.

Abstract: A method of synchronizing a cross-compound generator system on one or more turning gears during startup includes determining, via a notch monitor controller, first and second angular velocities, respectively, of a first and a second rotor. The method also includes simultaneously exciting, via the notch monitor controller, the first and second rotors to attain electromechanical coupling therebetween. The method further includes determining, via the notch monitor controller, a value of a time at which a calibration value of an offset is a constant value, where the offset is representative of a phase alignment of the first rotor relative to the second rotor, and where the offset is indicative of a successful electromechanical coupling therebetween. The method also includes disengaging the one or more turning gears from the cross-compound generator system.

Abstract: MR imaging and intervention functions are localized within a single device. At least one integrated coil device which has at least one RF coil, a housing which encases the RF coil and provides an anatomically conformal surface, and a plurality of apertures. The integrated coil device slides along a guide rail system to adjust the size of a patient anatomical imaging region. The apertures in the integrated coil device are available to secure tool holder grid plate inserts or other interventional device guides. The inserts assist in holding the soft tissue for diagnostic imaging and provide support for biopsy/interventional instrument guides. The integrated MR imaging and interventional coil device works in combination with a prone patient support structure, an adaptive torso sling, and also features an open architecture design for improved patient access. The device also works for supine or side imaging procedures.

Abstract: A method and isotope linac system are provided for producing radio-isotopes and for recovering isotopes. The isotope linac is an energy recovery linac (ERL) with an electron beam being transmitted through an isotope-producing target. The electron beam energy is recollected and re-injected into an accelerating structure. The ERL provides improved efficiency with reduced power requirements and provides improved thermal management of an isotope target and an electron-to-x-ray converter.

Abstract: A magnetic sensor and method for making the sensor are disclosed. The sensor includes a giant-magnetoresistive sensing layer having a ferromagnetic free layer and a hard bias layer to maintain the free layer in a single-domain state or to stabilize the free layer. The hard bias layer has a coercivity of at least 2,000 Oe and a magnetic remnance times thickness at least twice the value of the saturation magnetization times thickness of the free layer. The hard bias layer includes a permanent magnetic layer formed on top of a seed layer made of the alloy TiW or other similar alloys. The seed layer may also be a bi-layer having a layer of TiW or ther similar alloys and a layer of soft magnetic material, with the former in contact with the permanent magnetic layer.
