Patent number: 8373122Abstract: Charged particle energy analysers enabling simultaneous high transmission and energy resolution are described. The analysers have an electrode structure (11) comprising coaxial inner and outer electrodes (14, 15) having inner and outer electrode surfaces (IS, OS) respectively. The inner and outer electrode surfaces are defined, at least in part, by spheroidal surfaces having meridonal planes of symmetry orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of the electrode structure (11). The inner and outer electrode surfaces are generated by rotation, about the longitudinal axis, of arcs of two non-concentric circles having different radii R2 and R1 respectively, R2 being greater than R1. The distance of the outer electrode surface from the longitudinal axis in the respective meridonal plane is R01 and the distance of the inner electrode surface from the longitudinal axis in the respective plane is R02 and R1, R2, R01 and R02 have a defined relationship.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2008Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: Shimadzu Research Laboratory (Europe) LtdInventors: Nikolay Alekseevich Kholine, Dane Cubric, Ikuo Konishi

Patent number: 7473111Abstract: A connecting terminal has an electrically-conductive ring surrounding a columnar space. Electrically-conductive elastic pieces extend from the electrically-conductive ring in the direction of the central axis of the columnar space. Electrically-conductive blades stand from the outer surfaces of the electrically-conductive elastic pieces. A lead terminal is received in the columnar space. The tip ends of the electrically-conductive elastic pieces are urged against the lead terminal. The lead terminal is prevented from withdrawing out of the through hole. Electric connection is established between the lead terminal and the elastic pieces. The blade or blades of the connecting terminal or terminals stick into the wall surface of the through hole. The connecting terminal is thus firmly held in the through hole. Electric connection is established between the blade or blades and the through hole. Electric connection is thus established between the lead terminal and the through hole.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2007Date of Patent: January 6, 2009Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventor: Ikuo Konishi

Patent number: 5631944Abstract: The rotary cathode X-ray tube equipment of present invention is constructed so as to permit radiation of X-ray from all directions with respect to the whole circumference of a subject, and is used for x-ray CT. The equipment of the invention is constructed to prevent an X-ray radiation window 40 of a low strength from being influenced by atmospheric deformations of a vacuum vessel 1 or by machining and assembling errors, for example by using a joint portion disposed between the X-ray radiation window and an inner ring and having both a surface perpendicular to a rotational axis of a rotary member and a cylindrical surface parallel to the rotational axis, a face seal formed on the surface of the joint portion perpendicular to the rotational axis, and an axial seal formed on the cylindrical surface of the joint portion parallel to the rotational axis.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 1996Date of Patent: May 20, 1997Assignees: Shimadzu Corporation, Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yutaro Kimura, Tetsuhiko Ikeshima, Hiromichi Tonami, Ikuo Konishi, Hiroshi Horikawa, Akihiro Daikoku, Shigekazu Sakabe, Masao Inoue, Akinori Yamasaki
