US Patent:

20160243652, Aug 25, 2016

Filed:

May 3, 2016

Appl. No.:

15/145402

Inventors:

- Livermore CA, US
Andrew BAYRAMIAN - Manteca CA, US
James A. DEMUTH - Mountain View CA, US
Joseph C. FARMER - Tracy CA, US
Sharon G. TORRES - Livermore CA, US

International Classification:

B23K 26/342
B23K 26/144
B23K 26/0622
B22F 3/105

Abstract:

A system is disclosed for performing an Additive Manufacturing (AM) fabrication process on a powdered material forming a substrate. The system may make use of a diode array for generating an optical signal sufficient to melt a powdered material of the substrate. A mask may be used for preventing a first predetermined portion of the optical signal from reaching the substrate, while allowing a second predetermined portion to reach the substrate. At least one processor may be used for controlling an output of the diode array.

International Classification:

G01N 23/201

US Classification:

378 86

Abstract:

An electrochemical test cell apparatus is disclosed for enabling in-situ X-ray transmission of a flowing fluid using a small angle X-ray scattering technique. A base has a recessed portion that partially defines a volume for containing a test sample. The base may have a fluid supply passage for providing a flowing fluid into the volume, a fluid return passage for allowing the flowing fluid to exit the volume and flow out of the test cell, and a first hole for allowing an X-ray beam to pass through the volume. A clamp member is coupled to the base to help define the volume and may have a second hole aligned with the first hole that allows the X-ray beam to pass through the clamp member. A pair of material portions may be clamped between the base and the clamp member to retain the fluid within the volume while allowing passage of the X-ray beam through first and second holes. A pair of electrodes may be used to supply a potential difference to the flowing fluid.
