摘要： Systems and methods are provided for managing power consumption of a medical imaging detector by the use of triggering signals, environmental condition data, and/or determination of a variable time interval triggering event that is unique for each power consumption state. Systems and methods are provided for managing power and temperature of a device, after receiving a request for a function to be performed by the device determining an “on” trigger component, an “off” trigger component, associated circuits for performing the received function, providing power to the associated circuits upon the occurrence of the “on” trigger component, and removing power to the associated circuits upon the occurrence of the “off” trigger component. Further, an instruction is described for determining and displaying a variable time interval that is indicative of a time to change from one state to a desired state.

摘要： An improved design for a solid state X-ray detector that decreases the amount of moisture diffusion that occurs through seals used to attach a cover to a glass substrate panel, thereby protecting the scintillator from moisture damage. In one embodiment, a second hermetic or semi-hermetic seal is introduced between the scintillator and the outside environment to increase the path moisture must travel to reach the scintillator. In another embodiment, a metal frame, preferably a Kovar® frame, is hermetically or semi-hermetically sealed to the cover and glass substrate panel, thereby decreasing the amount of moisture diffusion through the semi-hermetic seal as compared to the prior art.

摘要： An imager array includes a substrate with a plurality of superimposed layers of electrically conductive and active components. Sets of scan and data lines are electrically insulated from one another and also from a common electrode and active array components by dielectric material. Protection of the active components against static charge potential includes resistive means between the common electrode and a ground ring conductor around the array elements and in particular a thin film transistor circuit with a parallel pair of opposite polarity diode connected field effect transistors to safely drain the static charge during subsequent fabrication, test and standby period of the imager, while remaining in circuit during imager operation. Further electrostatic charge protection is provided to the array by an protective apparatus adapted to support the radiation imager while electrically contacting its ground ring to facilitate handling and processing while protecting against electrostatic charge damage during fabrication and testing, and enabling the positioning and bonding of the flexible external connections to the contact pads of the imager. Provision is made to enable heat and pressure for thermode bonding through the fixture to the contact pads while the imager is secured within the fixture.

摘要： Interconnect carriers for coupling integrated circuit chips to major substrates and methods for making the same are disclosed. The interconnect carrier comprises a relatively thin resilient supporting layer, a plurality of electrically conductive vias formed through the surfaces of the supporting layer, and an outer frame disposed around the periphery of the supporting layer. The supporting layer preferably comprises an electrically insulating material. The flexibility of the supporting layer enables the layer to more readily conform to the warpages of the IC chip and supporting substrate, while the outer frame provides mechanical support and prevents the supporting layer from folding, twisting, and/or stretching. The thickness of the supporting layer may be substantially reduced over that of prior art interposers to enable methods for constructing smaller diameter vias.
