Patent number: 11906448Abstract: An X-ray beam generating system including an X-ray source for generating an original primary X-ray beam, an optics system including a first optics component and at least one second optics component which are movable relative to the X-ray source in order either to bring the first optics component into interaction with the original primary X-ray beam, whereupon a first primary X-ray beam is generated which is deflected at a first deflection angle, or to bring the second optics component into interaction with the original primary X-ray beam, whereupon a second primary X-ray beam is generated which is deflected at a second deflection angle, and a rotating device to rotate the X-ray beam generating system through either a first rotation angle or a second rotation angle to allow either the first primary X-ray beam or the second primary X-ray beam to impinge on a sample region.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2020Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: ANTON PAAR GMBHInventors: Josef Gautsch, Roman Prischnegg

Patent number: 9562865Abstract: A method and a device examine a sample with radiation emitted from a radiation source, which is directed to the sample carried by a sample holder via a beamforming unit and detected by a detector and evaluated in an evaluating unit. Prior to the examination of the sample, at least one of the following components, including the radiation source, beamforming unit, sample holder, detector, and a primary beam stop, are spatially oriented and/or positioned in relation to at least one of the other components and/or in relation to a predefined fixed point and/or in relation to the optical path with a control unit via actuating drives. The radiation intensity measured by the detector, in a predefined detector range, and/or a value derived therefrom is used for establishing a control variable conferred from the control unit to the actuating drives assigned to the components.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2013Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: Anton Paar GmbHInventors: Heimo Schnablegger, Josef Gautsch, Wolfgang Gigerl

Publication number: 20160223449Abstract: A rotary rheometer has a stator arranged in a rotationally invariant fashion, and a rotor that can be rotated about the axis of the stator by an eddy current drive. Wherein the test medium to be examined can be introduced into at least one measuring gap formed between surfaces of the rotor and the stator located opposite of one another. Accordingly, the measuring gap filled with the test medium to be examined functions as and/or is configured as a hydrodynamic bearing between the rotor and the stator. The distance and mutual position of the mutually facing surfaces of the rotor and the stator defining the measuring gap are predetermined and set, and are maintained during the measuring process, exclusively by the hydrodynamic bearing action generated by the rotation of the rotor relative to the stator.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2014Publication date: August 4, 2016Inventors: RONALD HENZINGER, JOSEF GAUTSCH

Publication number: 20100162798Abstract: In a method for determining the viscosity of fluids, especially liquids, the fluid is brought into and moved through a tapering gap bounded by two opposite wall surfaces. Accordingly, a distance or the change of the distance between the opposite wall surfaces is measured by pressure exerted by the material moved through the preferably steadily tapering or narrowing gap onto the walls and is used or evaluated as a measurement value for the viscosity of the fluid.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2008Publication date: July 1, 2010Applicant: ANTON PAAR GMBHInventor: Josef Gautsch
