Abstract: A method of processing X-ray diffraction data, the data is provided by an X-ray detector configured to detect diffracted X-ray beams of a sample. The method including acquiring X-ray diffraction data from the X-ray detector while the sample is rotating with respect to an incident X-ray beam, generating a 2D image frame from the acquired X-ray diffraction data, wherein the generated 2D image frame includes 2D image data representing X-ray diffraction data for a specific rotational position of the sample, for the generated 2D image frame, distinguishing the sample relevant X-ray diffraction data from the background data; mapping the distinguished sample relevant X-ray diffraction data of the generated 2D image frame into a single 3D reciprocal space; and visualizing the 3D reciprocal space along with the mapped X-ray diffraction data on a display screen. Further provided is an apparatus and an X-ray device implementing the method.

Abstract: An X-ray detector includes at least two X-ray detector modules which are articulately connected to one another; a drive mechanism configured to position the at least two articulately connected X-ray modules around the sample; a control unit configured to control the drive mechanism to move the at least two detector modules relative to one another such that the at least two detector modules are arranged around the sample along a pre-calculated curved line having a curvature that depends on a selected distance between the detector and the sample. Also provided is an X-ray analysis system comprising the above X-ray detector and a method of controlling the X-ray detector.

Abstract: This invention relates to a tire with high performance tread of rubber composition for promoting tread durability and traction. For such purpose, a tread rubber composition is provided which contains a high Tg solvent solution polymerization prepared styrene/butadiene elastomer (SSBR) together with precipitated silica reinforcement and traction resin. The invention includes extension of the uncured high Tg SSBR by triglyceride vegetable oil instead of petroleum based oil.

Abstract: The invention relates to a crane that comprises an electronic control for actuating drives for at least one lifting gear and for crane movements, which can be operated by an operator via manual input devices. Said manual input devices can be adjusted as regards their sensitivity (definition). In order to adapt the system behavior of the crane to the needs of different operators and different lifting requirements in an optimum manner, the electronic control is provided with at least two adjustments, selectable by the operator, that set for the manual input devices respective different sensitivities defined for the crane operation.
