A CT detector includes a first detector configured to convert radiographic energy to electrical signals representative of energy sensitive radiographic data and a second detector configured to convert radiographic energy to electrical signals representative of energy sensitive radiographic data and positioned to receive x-rays that pass through the first detector. A logic controller is electrically connected to the first detector and the second detector and is configured to receive a logic output signal from the second detector indicative of an amount of a saturation level of the first detector, compare the logic output signal to a threshold value, and output, based on the comparison, electrical signals from the first detector, the second detector, or a combination thereof to an image chain.
摘要:
A gas generator comprising a pressure vessel containing a gas under a first predetermined pressure. An initiator housing closes one end of the pressure vessel and has an opening at the inner end thereof that is closed by an initiator rupture disk constructed to rupture at a second predetermined pressure in the initiator housing greater than the first predetermined pressure. A micro-gas generator or initiator is disposed within the initiator housing. A manifold closes the other end of the pressure vessel and has an opening at the inner end thereof closed by a manifold rupture disk constructed to rupture at a third predetermined pressure greater than the first predetermined pressure. Upon the firing of the micro-gas generator or initiator, the gas pressure in the initiator housing increases to or exceeds the second predetermined pressure to rupture the initiator rupture disk and create a pressure wave that travels through the pressure vessel to create a localized pressure at the manifold rupture disk that equals or exceeds the third predetermined pressure to rupture the manifold rupture disk and allow flow of cool pressurized gas through the manifold before the gas in the pressure vessel is significantly heated and pressurized by the gas flow from the initiator housing.
摘要:
A device (60) for inflating an air bag (36) adapted within a steering wheel comprising: a pressure vessel (66; 166; 210) formed of a length of narrow tubing for storing a quantity of inert gas under pressure and a rupturable disk (80) for enclosing a first end of the tubing; an activator or initiator such as a squib (120) responsive to a control signal indicative of a vehicular crash situation for opening the seal means to permit the pressurized gas to inflate the air bag and a manifold (50) for communicating released gas to an air bag.
摘要:
An inflator for an air cushion including a pressure vessel comprising a hollow sleeve for storing a quantity of inert gas such as Argon. One end of the sleeve is closed by a first pyrotechnic actuator assembly while the other end of the sleeve may include a closed end or another pyrotechnic actuator assembly. The pressure vessel is secured within a diffuser which directs inflation gases into the air cushion. The pressure vessel in cooperation with the diffuser defines various regions which assist in reducing the gas turbulence and heat transfer between the gas and the diffuser.

Surface-treating compositions containing ammonioamidate surface-active compounds able to exist in either cationic or zwitterionic form are disclosed. The compositions which contain a buffering agent to control pH and the cationic or zwitterionic character of the ammonioamidates are effective in the treatment of fabric or hard surfaces. Hair treating compositions and processes are disclosed. Methods of treating fabric and hard surfaces to provide fabric softening and soil-release properties are also disclosed.
摘要:
An electronic system (1) having an interconnect structure (30, 45). In one embodiment a system (1) includes a first electronic device (2) with a first plurality of contact pads (15) each having a noble metal (18) formed along a first surface (19), and a second electronic device (3) with a second plurality of contact pads (29) each having a noble metal (18) formed along a first surface (19). The noble metal (18) of one of the contact pads (15) of the first device (2) is bonded to the noble metal (18) of one of the contact pads (29) of the second device (3). In one embodiment of an associated method of forming an interconnect structure (45), a first electronic device (2) is provided with a first plurality of contact pads (15) each having a noble metal (18) along a first surface (19), and a second electronic device (3) is provided with a plurality of contact pads (29) each having a noble metal (18) along a first surface (19). One or more of the contact pads (15) on the first device (2) is aligned with one or more of the contact pads (29) on the second device (3) to form pairs of pads (45) for electrical contact with one another. The first surface (19) of a contact pad (15) of the first device (2) is pressed against the first surface (19) of a contact pad (29) on the second device (3) to make contact between the two first surfaces (19).
