Phase I

Contract Number: N/A
Start Date: 7/27/1989    Completed: 00/00/00
Phase I year
1989
Phase I Amount
$49,704
Rayex proposes to develop a rotating anode x-ray tube which will have unique design features such that its power and duty cycle capabilities will be increased by at least a factor of two over present-day tubes including micro-focus tubes. The tube will be sealed and self-contained with no external pumping, and will have a practical size such that it can be retrofitted to present-day x-ray scanning and computer tomography devices. With the addition of other design features in a phase ii program, the potential power enhancement of the tube is expected to be a factor of ten.

Phase II

Contract Number: DAMD17-89-C-9133
Start Date: 8/15/1989    Completed: 9/29/1992
Phase II year
