  • Patent number: 10429326
    Abstract: An X-ray optics assembly for an X-ray diffractometer is provided, comprising a multilayer mirror, in particular a Goebel mirror, and a switching system with which beam paths for an X-ray beam are selectable. The X-ray optics assembly includes a monochromator, in particular a channel-cut crystal, and three beam paths for the X-ray beam are selectable using the switching system. A first beam path in a first position of the switching system leads past the multilayer mirror and leads past the monochromator, a second beam path in a second position of the switching system contains the multilayer mirror and leads past the monochromator, and a third beam path in a third position of the switching system contains the multilayer mirror and contains the monochromator. The invention provides an X-ray optics assembly and an X-ray diffractometer which may be used even more universally for various measurement geometries in a simple manner.

  • Publication number: 20140069453
    Abstract: An apparatus for dressing hair with a first comb 1 having a longitudinal axis X1, including a plurality of teeth 1.1 with a width B1 offset from each other in the direction of the longitudinal axis X1 by a gap L1 and oriented in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X1, and a second comb 2 having a longitudinal axis X2, including a plurality of teeth 2.1 with a width B2 offset from each other in the direction of the longitudinal axis X2 by a gap L2 and oriented in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X2, where the two combs are directly or indirectly mechanically coupled to each other. A respective tooth of the one comb meshes with a respective gap of the other comb and thereby the tooth of the one comb closes the gap of the other comb in the direction of the longitudinal axis.

  • Publication number: 20120078745
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a non-transitory processor readable-medium stores code representing instructions to cause a processor to receive, before a time period, a first signal indicating that a first user has purchased a set of primary bids. Each primary bid from the set of primary bids has a price. The code further represents instructions to cause the processor to receive, within the time period, a set of second signals. Each signal from the set of second signals indicates that the first user has used a primary bid from the set of primary bids to bid on an item in a primary auction. The code represents instructions to cause the processor to award, after the time period, the first user at least one secondary bid based on a second user being awarded the item in the primary auction.

  • Publication number: 20110153446
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a processor-readable medium stores code representing instructions configured to cause a processor to receive a first signal indicating that a first user has used a first bid to bid on a first item at an auction, and increase an auction price of the first item in response to receiving the first signal. The processor-readable medium further stores code representing instructions configured to cause a processor to receive a second signal indicating that a second user has used a second bid to bid on the first item at the auction, increase the auction price of the first item in response to receiving the second signal and receive a third signal indicating that the first user has chosen to purchase a second item substantially similar to the first item for a discounted price. The discounted price is equal to a retail price of the second item minus at least a price of the first bid.
