  • Patent number: 10556297
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a welded section examining device. In order to examine whether welding is good or bad of a welded section joining tip portions of electrical conductors projecting from slots of a stator core, a welded section examining device includes a camera, a discriminating unit, a wavelength-converting sheet, and a masking member. The camera images the welded section. The discriminating unit performs discrimination of whether welding is good or bad based on an outline of the welded section recognized from an image of the welded section imaged by the camera. The wavelength-converting sheet irradiates the welded section with a light, from a rear surface side of an imaging target surface. The masking member is interposed between the wavelength-converting sheet and the rear surface of the welded section, such that the outline of the welded section is imaged in the camera in an emphasized state.

  • Patent number: 10436723
    Abstract: Only X-rays having a specific wavelength, selected from a group of focusing X-rays diffracted from a sample, are reflected from a monochromator based on a Bragg's condition, passed through a receiving slit and detected by an X-ray detector. The monochromator is configured to be freely removable, and arranged between the sample and a focal point at which the wavelength-selected focusing X-rays diffracted from the sample are directly focused. At this time, the monochromator is moved so as to position the monochromator as close to the focal point as possible. The monochromator comprises a multilayer mirror having an internal interplanar spacing, wherein said internal interplanar spacing varies continuously from one end of the monochromator to the other end.

  • Patent number: 9490038
    Abstract: An X-ray optical component device having an X-ray optical component unit, a motor controller, and a connector. The connector has motor pins and motor terminals electrically connected to a motor when engaged with each other, and a signal pin and signal terminal for sensing detachment of the connector, the signal pin and signal terminal being capable of engaging with each other. A pin-side connector and a terminal-side connector are detachable. When the pin-side connector is detached from the terminal-side connector, the time that the signal pin is removed from the signal terminal is earlier than the time that the motor pins are removed from the motor terminals. During replacement of an X-ray optical component unit equipped with a motor for adjusting the position of an X-ray optical component, unwanted movement of the position of the X-ray optical component provided in the unit is prevented.
