The Active X-ray Spectrometer (AXS) is considered as one of the scientific payload candidates for a future Japanese mission, SELENE-2.
An innovative active X-ray mirror which incorporates the bending mechanism in the mirror substrate itself has been developed during the last few years: the multi-segmented Piezoelectric Bimorph Mirror (PBM).
This paper reports on the design and performances of a test prototype active X-ray mirror (AXM) which has been designed and manufactured in collaboration with the French Small and Medium Enterprise mechanical company ISP System for the national French storage ring SOLEIL.
Coupled with this active X-ray mirror and also in collaboration with another French Small and Medium Enterprise (Imagine Optic) a lot of efforts have been done in order to design and fabricate a wavefront X-ray analyzer based on the Hartmann principle (Hartman wavefront sensor, HWS).
"We do not have an active X-ray device that emits X-ray light.
The three Hackathon finalists, who I interviewed after the results were announced, including the ultimate winner Active X-Ray which deployed the mobile network's mHealth API to create an injury evaluation mobile app, off AT&T's mHealth platform.
Not only did the two San Diego based developers behind Active X-Ray win $20,000, but they also won the opportunity to build out their app at the AT&T Foundry in Palo Alto, one of the new innovation centers that they have opened to enable developers and entrepreneurs to partner in the AT&T ecosystem.
Young solar-type stars are generally very active: X-ray flux is up to ~1000 times larger than the present-day sun (Güdel et al., 1997; Güdel, 2004), and the X-ray temperature is also higher (Ribas et al., 2005; Telleschi et al., 2005).
Patients with a positive purified protein derivative test were eligible if treatment for latent tuberculosis had been initiated (according to local guidelines) and there was no evidence of active tuberculosis by chest x ray at enrollment.
Exclusion criteria included: patients with evidence of active tuberculosis; previous tuberculosis; chest x ray granuloma or tuberculosis exposure with a mantoux reading of 5 mm or greater if no previous history of bacillus Calmette Guérin (BCG), or 10 mm or more if patients had previously received BCG.
The spent catalyst active phases characteristics, at different levels of deactivation, firstly evidenced that the coke particularly influences the CoMo active phase (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) lowering the 'CoMoS' mixed phase amount.
