摘要： In one embodiment, the invention is directed toward inline lapping of magnetic tape. The lapping process is performed inline with one or more other magnetic tape manufacturing processes. In this manner, the number of times the magnetic tape is un-spooled and then re-spooled can be reduced. Consequently, the amount of handling of the individual tape pancakes can also be reduced, thus avoiding damage to the edge of the tape, or other damage associated with tape pancake handling.

摘要： A process for producing an array of solid state radiation detectors includes depositing on a substrate one or more layers of silicon-based materials and then depositing a metal layer overlying silicon-based substance. The metal layer is formed into an array of metal layer regions, and then the metal layer is used as a mask to remove exposed adjacent silicon-based substance layers thereby forming an array of silicon-based substance layers that are aligned with the array of metal layers for forming an array of photosensitive sensing devices. The process of the present invention reduces the number of microlithography steps that are used in forming an array of layered amorphous silicon photosensitive devices.

摘要： A pixelized phosphor screen having an array of pixelized phosphors on a support which are separated a width of from greater than 0.0 to 5.0 microns. In order to produce the phosphor screen, phosphor is deposited on a support and then exposed to radiation to create an array of pixelized phosphors separated by slots. The resulting slots between the pixelized phosphors are then filled in with additional phosphor material such that the width between the pixelized phosphors is from greater than 0.0 to 5.0 microns.
