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： The present technique provides a multi-tile detector and a process for assembling the multi-tile detector using a flexible structure and intermediate electrical connections. The present technique minimizes edge gaps between adjacent detector tiles by coupling the detector tiles to the flexible structure and then flexing the flexible structure to close the edge gaps. Intermediate electrical connections, such as interlayer solder bumps, also may be used to minimize visible artifacts associated with tiling of the detector tiles. The present technique also may use a plurality of soldering materials having different melting temperatures to facilitate multiple soldering steps that are nondestructive of previous soldering steps.

摘要： A method for coupling an X-ray image detector to an X-ray image receptor is provided. The method includes providing at least two image detectors. The two image detectors each have at least one inner edge for substantial inner edge contact between the at least two image detectors to form a detector array.

摘要： An x-ray system (10) include a digital detector (400) that defines two regions: a first region (404) suitable for generating data useful for creating a patient x-ray image and a second region (406) less suitable for generating such data than the first region. A source (20) transmits x-rays through a phantom (420) located between the source and the second region (406) so that the detector (400) generates test data in the second region. A processor (302) measures at least one parameter in response to the test data and stores a value of the parameter at one point of time. The processor compares the first value with a second value of the one parameter generated at a later second point in time. The processor also generates a result signal representing the results of the comparison.

摘要： A method is provided for maximizing substrate usage in the fabrication of flat panel displays or detectors, while also maximizing electrostatic protection for the displays or detectors. Initially, at least two detectors are positioned on the substrate, with each of the detectors having a guard ring of a certain width. At least a section of the guard ring width of one detector is approximately adjacent to a section of the guard ring width of another detector. The approximately adjacent guard ring width sections are then positioned such that a maximum overlap of the adjacent guard ring width sections is achieved, while still providing each display or detector with electrostatic discharge protection. Each of the detectors is separated from the other detectors and the remainder of the substrate by the process of scribing partially through the substrate and breaking at the scribe mark or by sawing.
