    摘要: A memory control for use with a digital oscilloscope having a display and a digital memory storing a sequence of signal samples. The sequence of signal samples is cyclically read from memory and displayed. The memory control adjusts the memory access operation to provide a controlled signal flow to the display at a rate within the slew-rate limits of the graphic display. In the memory control, the point slew, or distance over which the display beam moves from the present data point to the next point, is measured. If the point slew relative to the time interval between displayed signal samples exceeds the slew-rate capability of the display, the signal flow from the memory for subsequent data points is reduced or inhibited for a time sufficient to allow the display to reach a coordinate position corresponding to the desired data point.

    摘要: An oscilloscope to sequentially store, process and display an electrical input signal according to various signal events and characteristics. The oscilloscope is physically and functionally modular having both selectable hardware configurations from among various "plug-in" modules and selectable processing and display features chosen from among a predetermined selection by software control contained, in part, within the plug-in modules. The particular control settings, as well as a representation of the signal itself, is recorded on a removable storage device, such as a magnetic disc. High frequency signals are sampled, digitized and stored in a high speed intercascaded signal memory, independent from the program and data memory associated with the oscilloscope signal processing.

    摘要: A scanning tomography system has a gantry including a disk for supporting a X-ray source and detector array and rotatable about a central axis. Multiple scans are made to reduce the effects of motion artifacts and improve image quality. In addition, the detector array is supported by a suspension system and is movable about the focal spot of the X-ray source a small amount so that in one mode of operation the detector array can be shifted at a predetermined angle from one position to at least one other position during a scan so as to provide an increase in the number of unique X-ray paths so as to provide improved image quality. In a second mode of operation, the detector array can be offset from the center ray so as to provide a quarter of a detector offset.

    摘要: A temperature compensation system and technique requiring no measurement of actual temperature differential and wherein each source of thermal error in an electronic circuit can be corrected in addition to overall thermal error. Two reference voltages are provided having equal and opposite temperature response and having a null value at selected normal temperature. A respective correcting voltage is derived from the two reference voltages for each source of thermal error and each of magnitude and polarity to compensate for the corresponding thermal error. A correcting voltage can also be derived for compensation of overall residual thermal error.

    摘要: A method and system is presented in radiography for optimizing image quality of an object (e.g. an anatomical region of a patient), while minimizing the radiation dose to the patient. X-ray exposure parameters, such as operating voltage (kVp), operating current (mA), focal spot size, and soft x-ray filter combination, are dynamically controlled during the x-ray exposure. During at least two different sampling intervals and at two different kVp levels, x-rays are passed through the object, and detected by sensors located between the object and the image plane. After the last sampling interval, the sensor output signals and the measured thickness of the object are used to evaluate the optimal settings for the x-ray exposure parameters. The x-ray exposure parameters are set to these optimal settings for the remainder of the exposure period.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for performing CT scans of baggage being carried or loaded onto commercial aircraft are described. The CT baggage scanner of the invention includes numerous features which provide the system with high baggage throughput on the order of seven hundred bags per hour as well as improved image quality and accurate target detection. In one aspect, the scanner includes an adaptive image reconstruction window which identifies data collected from the field of view that are not related to the baggage being scanned. These unrelated data are excluded from the image reconstruction process, resulting in greatly reduced reconstruction time and increased baggage throughput. The invention also includes the capability of performing calibration “air scans” with objects such as the system conveyor in the field of view. Data gathered during the calibration scan are applied to a threshold, and data exceeding the threshold are assumed to be from X-rays that are unobstructed by objects in the field of view and are therefore used to perform the air calibration. The baggage scanner can also analyze scan data to identify shapes of objects, particularly, objects formed in the shape of a sheet. This greatly improves the ability of the system to detect sheet explosives. The system also compensates for detector dark currents and provides dark current offsets which can be dependent upon detector temperature.
