Integrated Bearing Assembly
US Patent:
6940947, Sep 6, 2005
Filed:
Sep 5, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/235457
Inventors:
David H. Humber - Saratoga CA, US
Steve G. Bandy - Sunnyvale CA, US
Clifford K. Nishimoto - San Jose CA, US
Gary F. Virshup - Cupertino CA, US

Assignee:
Varian Medical Systems Technologies, Inc. - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
H01J035/10
US Classification:
378132, 378125
Abstract:
An integrated bearing assembly is provided, comprising a bearing housing defining an axial cavity in which a shaft is disposed. The shaft is rotatably supported by at least two bearing sets. The axial cavity defines three regions, each having distinct diameters. A pair of first regions defines cavity diameters sufficient to receive the bearing sets. A pair of second regions defines cavity diameters such that a small gap is defined between the inner surface of the cavity and the shaft. The third region cooperates with the shaft to define a cylindrical volume containing a coolant. Wettable coatings are utilized in the cylindrical volume to allow free flow of, and maximum contact with, the coolant. Non-wettable coatings are provided in the second regions to contain the coolant. The second regions also function as bearing spacers, thus simplifying bearing assembly design, assembly, and performance.

International Classification:
A61B 6/04
US Classification:
378 37, 376 4, 376 21, 376 65, 376 68
Abstract:
A method of imaging a patient's uncompressed region of interest using X-ray cone beam computed tomography or cone beam digital tomography comprises the step of introducing an effective amount of a contrast agent to the uncompressed region of interest. A system for imaging a patient's uncompressed region of interest using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) or cone beam digital tomography (CBDT) comprises an X-ray source transmitting an X-ray to the uncompressed region of interest, an image acquisition system acquiring a plurality of two-dimensional projection images data for a CBCT or CBDT data set with at least one of the projection images acquired in 35 milliseconds or less, and a processor generating a three-dimensional computed tomography image data set resolving voxels with dimensions of 0. 4 mm or less in at least two orthogonal directions.

US Classification:
378 37, 378 20, 378196, 378209, 5601
Abstract:
The present invention provides a system for irradiating a breast of a patient. The system comprises a gantry rotatable about a horizontal axis and comprising a radiation source for generating a radiation beam and a detector spaced from the radiation source , and a barrier disposed between the patient and the gantry. The barrier is provided with an opening adapted to allow a breast passing therethrough to be exposed to the radiation beam. In some embodiments, the barrier is provided with an opening adapted to allow both the breast and the tissue leading from the breast to axilla and the muscle tissue of the adjacent chest wall passing therethrough to be exposed to the radiation beam.

Assignee:
Varian Medical Systems, Inc. - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
H01J 35/06
US Classification:
378136, 378121
Abstract:
A filament assembly for use in an x-ray emitting device or other filament-containing device is disclosed. In one embodiment, an x-ray tube is disclosed, including a vacuum enclosure that houses both an anode having a target surface, and a cathode positioned with respect to the anode. The cathode includes a filament assembly for emitting a beam of electrons during tube operation. The filament assembly comprises a heat sink and a plurality of filament segments. The filament segments are configured for simultaneous emission of an electron beam for impingement on the target surface of the anode, and are electrically connected in series. Each filament segment includes first and second end portions that are thermally connected to the heat sink, and a central portion that can be configured with a modified work function for preferential electron emission.
