  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC ZONE AXIS ALIGNMENT
    Publication number: 20220076917
    Abstract: Automatic alignment of the zone axis of a sample and a charged particle beam is achieved based on a diffraction pattern of the sample. An area corresponding to the Laue circle is segmented using a trained network. The sample is aligned with the charged particle beam by tilting the sample with a zone axis tilt determined based on the segmented area.
    Type: Application

  • Slurry mixer discharge gate adapter with transitioning cross-sectional geometry
    Patent number: 9694332
    Abstract: A discharge gate for a gypsum slurry mixer is provided, and includes a gate adapter having an inlet opening configured for receiving the slurry, and an outlet opening configured for delivering the slurry to a dispensing device. The gate adapter has two different transitioning cross-sectional geometries at opposite ends. Specifically, the gate adapter includes an inlet section having a quadrilateral inlet opening; an outlet section having a substantially circular outlet opening; and a transition section sandwiched between the inlet and outlet sections.
