Material Analysis Using Wave/Particle Radiation TRIZ Cases
- Layered Tape Resin Holders for X-Ray Fluorescence Alignment
A substrate with double- and single-sided tape uses blind holes and through-holes to stabilize resin and align X-ray fluorescence measurement.
- Photon-Counting X-Ray Detector Pulse Timing for High-Flux Events
Comparator and monoflop stages normalize pulse widths, while delay units align counting signals to limit pile-up in high-flux X-ray detection.
- Tomosynthesis Imaging With a Movable Irradiation Field Limiter
A movable irradiation field limiter aligns openings with the active radiation tube, preventing adjacent-tube leakage and unnecessary exposure.
- X-Ray Shielding Assembly With Standoff Datum Alignment
Rigid standoffs and brackets align lead shielding panels, accommodating thickness variation while reducing gaps and assembly effort.
- Total-Reflection X-Ray Fluorescence for Rapid Contamination Detection
Machine learning interprets short-duration fluorescence spectra to detect substrate contamination despite lower signal-to-noise.
- Wavelength-Dispersive XRF Mass Analysis With Calculated Backgrounds
Calculated scattering efficiency replaces time-consuming background measurements in WDX analysis, reducing measurement time for mass-fraction determination.
- Turntable Laue Measurement for Rapid Crystal Orientation Testing
Multiple turbine components are measured without manual repositioning as motorized turntable and X-ray motion align each sample.
- Charged-Particle Beam Displacement Detection With Radial Rails
Radial rails around an aperture detect charged-particle displacement quickly, avoiding time-consuming raster scanning during imaging.
- Full-Field X-Ray Phase Nanotomography Using Space-Domain Kramers-Kronig
Space-domain Kramers-Kronig processing extracts quantitative phase from X-ray intensity images, reducing scan time and improving material differentiation.
- Source Rock Pyrolysis Basket Assembly for Stationary Sample Analysis
Suspended metallic baskets keep source rock samples stationary above the chamber floor for accurate pre- and post-pyrolysis analysis.
- Primary Loop Zinc Ion Screening for Hot Functional Tests
Electrochemical impedance testing screens zinc ion levels in an autoclave-simulated hot functional test to densify oxide films and limit corrosion.
- Photon-Counting Radiation Detector With Boundary Macro Pixel Sizing
Smaller boundary macro pixels and collimator passage holes reduce sensitivity differences in high-rate photon-counting radiography.
