Abstract: An x-ray radiator has a rotating bulb tube whose vacuum housing rotates within the radiator housing filled with a fluid coolant, as well as with an external heat exchanger for the cooling of the coolant, with the coolant admission connector and the coolant discharge connector for the coolant conducted through the external heat exchanger without a circulating pump arranged at respective positions of the radiator housing at which a lower pressure and a higher pressure are generated by the rotation of the rotating bulb.

Abstract: An x-ray computed tomography apparatus with electronic scanning of a ring-shaped anode has a solenoid coil for space-charge compensation which allows access to the anode. The solenoid coil is constructed of multiple parts so that a connector part can be released from a base part and the anode is thereby made accessible.

Abstract: A radiation source for generating multi-chromatic, particularly di-chromatic, x-radiation has at least one cathode and an anode for generating x-ray bremsstrahlung and a target surrounded by the cathode for converting the x-ray bremsstrahlung incident on the target into fluorescence radiation. The target is composed of different materials in sections and the sections can be selectively irradiated with the x-ray bremsstrahlung.

Abstract: An x-ray tube has an evacuated housing rotatable around a rotational axis with a cathode and an anode being rigidly mounted in the housing so as to rotate therewith. The cathode emits electrons which are accelerated with an electrical field so as to strike the anode. An electromagnetic system for deflecting and focusing the electron beam has a number of current-permeated coil elements, whereby the coil elements are arranged a common carrier that at least partially surrounds the housing.

Abstract: In an x-ray computed tomography apparatus the source of X-rays and the detector are able to scan a volume of the examination subject in a short time. The X-ray source contains an anode that is elongated in the z-direction, on which the focus travels by a controlled deflection of an electron beam. A primary beam diaphragm is displaced synchronously with the focus movement along the anode. The diaphragm forms a pyramid-shaped X-ray beam which always fully strikes the detector but does not overshot the detector. The detector is formed by a matrix of detector elements.

Abstract: An x-ray tube with vario-focus has an evacuated housing in which are arranged, rigidly connected thereto, an electron-emitting cathode and an anode dish which is struck by the electron beam, accelerated with an electrical field. An electromagnetic system for deflecting and focusing the electron beam is provided, and has a number of current-permeated coil elements. A lateral x-ray beam exit window is provided in the housing for the x-rays, which emerge at substantially a right angle relative to the longitudinal middle axis. The x-rays are picked up by an image receiver following a subject table. At least the anode dish is tiltable relative to the connecting axis to the image receiver, and the electromagnetic system at least partially surrounds a cathode-side neck section of the housing, and generates a quadrupole field for modifying the electron beam cross-section, corresponding to the tilt angle.

Abstract: An X-ray tube having a vacuum housing rotatable around a rotational axis, a ring-shaped anode connected to the vacuum housing whose center axis corresponds to the rotational axis, a cathode arranged inside the vacuum housing and that surrounds the rotational axis and that emits electrons radially outward during operation of the X-ray tube, a rotatable support for the vacuum housing, a drive arrangement for turning the vacuum housing and an arrangement for focussing the electron beam proceeding from the cathode to the anode which focus the electron beam such that it strikes the anode in a stationary focal spot.

Abstract: An x-ray tube has an evacuated housing in which an electron-emitting cathode is rigidly mounted and a rotating anode having an anode dish rotatable by a drive arrangement, which is struck by the electron beam, accelerated with an electrical field, for producing x-rays. An electromagnetic system for the deflection and focusing of the electron beam has a number of current-permeated coil elements. The cathode generates a rotationally-symmetrical circular beam, and the rotational axis of the anode dish is offset from and parallel to the axis of the electron beam by the average radius of the anode dish edge. The electromagnetic system generates a dipole-free quadrupole field that deforms the electron beam cross-section.

Abstract: An X-ray tube has a vacuum housing that contains a cathode and an anode, the housing having a radiation exit window. The radiation exit window is electrically conductive, and lies at cathode potential, and is electrically insulated against the vacuum housing, which lies at a potential that is positive in relation to the cathode potential.

Abstract: A jack (1) has a flat base (2) attached to a support (3) at the top by a lever-operated mechanism. The mechanism is activated by a threaded shaft (5) and nut (6). The nut has a coaxial gudgeon (10 & 11) on each side. The gudgeons extend across the axis (22) of an interior-threaded section. The nut consists of two halves (13 & 14). The halves fit together at a flat interface (15). The interface parallels both the axis (21) of the gudgeons and the axis (22) of the threaded section (23).

Abstract: A clutch assembly capable of providing several predetermined settings, wherein the components which support springs applying torque are not subjected to bending loads. The settings are achieved in that a supporting ring supporting a pressure plate against a clutch housing is provided with radially outwardly extending cams which are offset relative to the center thereof with two rows of apertures being provided in a cylindrical face of the clutch housing which are axially offset and offset relative to the angle of rotation and which correspond to the cams of the supporting ring and within which the cams are engaged.

Abstract: A shaft connecting mechanism is provided between a slip-on hub and a power takeoff shaft by means of a control ring which extends around the slip-on hub and which is formed to have a pressure screw extend through a threaded bore therein, the pressure screw engaging against a clamping wedge in the slip-on hub which is formed with a trapezoidal configuration generally conforming with the configuration of an axiallly extending groove formed in the slip-on hub. Blocking members are arranged in radial apertures in the slip-on hub and pockets are formed in the control ring. The pressure screw when angularly aligned with the clamping wedge, places the control ring in the locked position and when the pressure screw and the clamping wedge are angularly unaligned, the blocking members enter the pockets in the control ring.
