  • Electrically conducting ceramic bearings
    Patent number: 7044644
    Abstract: Electrically conducting ceramic bearings are described. All components of these bearings preferably comprise TSC, and may not require any conductive coating, or any lubricating coating. These bearings may comprise at least one rolling element such as a bearing ball, a roller, a needle, or the like. These bearings may be ideal for use in x-ray tube bearing assemblies in x-ray imaging systems, or in any other systems that require electrically conductive bearings.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 30, 2003
    Date of Patent: May 16, 2006
    Assignee: GE Medical Systems Global Technology Company, LLC
    Inventors: Jayaprakash R, George Parampil
  • Method and system for thermal control in X-ray imaging tubes
    Publication number: 20050281380
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing thermal insulation in an X-ray tube are provided. The method includes configuring a metallic foam to resist the heat flow in an X-ray tube. The method further comprises configuring the metallic foam for positioning in the X-ray tube to resist heat flow to bearings in the X-ray tube.
