  • Patent number: 8629592
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system including a motor comprising a rotor, a stator and a sealing assembly having at least one joint and a monolithic ceramic separator. Each joint of the sealing assembly is a chemical bond joint, and the monolithic ceramic separator is disposed in a gap between the rotor and the stator of the motor such that the sealing assembly hermetically isolates the rotor and the stator.

  • Publication number: 20120214016
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of making a flanged metal article. The method comprises (a) applying a first braze compound to a first portion of a metal article; (b) winding the first portion of a metal article with a length of a constraining metal member; and (c) heating an assembly of the metal article, the constraining metal member, and the first braze compound to a temperature above the solidus temperature of the first braze compound, typically a temperature in a range from about 300° C. to about 2500° C., to provide a flanged metal article, wherein the metal article has a coefficient of thermal expansion CTE 1, the constraining metal member has a coefficient of thermal expansion CTE 2, and CTE 1 is greater than CTE 2. The invention further provides a metal flange, which minimizes thermal expansion mismatch between a high expansion metal and a low expansion brittle material.

  • Patent number: 8039412
    Abstract: A composition including a polycrystalline metal nitride having a number of grains is provided. These grains have a columnar structure with one or more properties such as, an average grain size, a tilt angle, an impurity content, a porosity, a density, and an atomic fraction of the metal in the metal nitride.

These grains have a columnar structure with one or more properties such as, an average grain size, a tilt angle, an impurity content, a porosity, a density, and an atomic fraction of the metal in the metal nitride. An apparatus for preparing a metal nitride is provided. The apparatus may include a housing having an interior surface that defines a chamber and an energy source to supply energy to the chamber. A first inlet may be provided to flow a nitrogen-containing gas into the chamber. Raw materials may be introduced into the chamber through a raw material inlet. A second inlet may be provided to flow in a halide-containing gas in the chamber. The apparatus may further include a controller, which communicates with the various components of the apparatus such as, sensors, valves, and energy source, and may optimize and control the reaction.

  • Patent number: 7935382
    Abstract: A method of making a metal nitride is provided. The method may include introducing a metal in a chamber. A nitrogen-containing material may be flowed into the chamber. Further, a hydrogen halide may be introduced. The nitrogen-containing material may react with the metal in the chamber to form the metal nitride.

  • Patent number: 7620153
    Abstract: A bearing assembly mounted in an x-ray tube includes a bearing race and a plurality of bearing balls positioned adjacent to the bearing race. The plurality of bearing balls are positioned within a bearing cage. The bearing cage is configured to evenly space the bearing balls within the bearing cage and prevent contact between adjacent bearing balls, thereby eliminating the problems of skidding wear and dynamic impact load between adjacent bearing balls in the bearing assembly.

  • Patent number: 7492870
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an x-ray tube bearing cage includes the step of forming a bearing cage from a carbon-carbon composite material. A coating is applied to the carbon-carbon composite bearing cage. The coating includes an outer layer formed of a dry film lubricant. The coated carbon-carbon composite bearing cage is included in a bearing assembly in the x-ray tube and forms a lubricious enclosure for bearing balls positioned therein to minimize wear and heat generation in the bearing assembly.
