  • Patent number: 10229808
    Abstract: A transmission-type target includes a target layer and a transmissive substrate. The target layer is configured to generate X-rays in response to irradiation of electrons. The transmissive substrate supports the target layer and is configured to allow the X-rays generated in the target layer to pass therethrough. The transmissive substrate includes polycrystalline diamond in which grain boundaries extend in a substrate thickness direction and a substrate plane direction. The grain boundaries define an electrical potential of the target layer.

  • Publication number: 20190034148
    Abstract: A display control device according to an embodiment includes an acceptance unit, a setting unit, and a change unit. The acceptance unit accepts a change instruction for a display type on each of a plurality of screens capable of displaying images with different display types. The setting unit limits and sets the display type in such a manner that images with an identical display type are not displayed on the plurality of screens when the display type is changed based on the change instruction. The change unit changes an image on a screen with the change instruction being applied thereto to an image with the set display type.
