    摘要: According to an embodiment of the invention, a radiation detector device (10) for detecting a primary radiation (6) comprises a scintillator (12) which generates a converted primary radiation in response to incoming primary radiation (6) and a photo detector (14) for detecting the converted primary radiation. The radiation detector device (10) further comprises a secondary radiation source (20) for irradiating the scintillator (12) with a secondary radiation (22) which has a wavelength different from a wavelength of the first radiation (6) and which is capable of producing a spatially more uniform response of the scintillator (12) to primary radiation. In an embodiment of the invention, the radiation detector device (10) is an X-ray detector of an X-ray imaging apparatus where the primary radiation is X-ray radiation and the secondary radiation has a wavelength between 350 nm and 450 nm. According to an embodiment, the irradiation with the secondary radiation, e.g. UV radiation, produces a uniform gain distribution of the X-ray detector (10).

    摘要: A method for providing information about a spatial gain distribution of a scintillator for a primary radiation is provided which does not require the irradiation of the scintillator with the primary radiation. The method comprises the step of irradiating the scintillator with a secondary radiation for generating an image of a spatial secondary gain distribution of the scintillator for said second radiation. The spatial secondary gain distribution image corresponds to an image of the spatial primary gain distribution for the primary radiation. In an embodiment of the invention, i.e. in an X-rayimaging device where the primary radiation is X-rayradiation, the invention provides for an accurate calibration of the X-raydetector without irradiating the X-raydetector with X-rayradiation. Rather, irradiation with UV radiation as the secondary radiation provides the desired spatial secondary gain distribution image which can be used for calibration.

    摘要: A method for sensing input signal changes at an input of an input/output module operated in an automation system in which a signal is sampled by an input/output module. A change event and a timestamp associated with the change event are generated when a change in the sampled signal occurs and a value pair comprising the change event and the timestamp is stored in a higher-ranking automation component to the input/output module. The input/output module and the higher-ranking automation component are operated clock-synchronously with respect to one another by a clock pulse, and the timestamp is calculated centrally on the higher-ranking automation component based on the clock-synchronous operation.

    摘要: The invention relates to a detector and a method for the production of consecutive X-ray images. This involves the generation in the detector by X-radiation during an exposure interval (Texp) of a current flow (I(t)) which is integrated (Qdk*, Qsig*, Qae*) in a memory capacity and read out in a subsequent readout phase (Trd). In order to minimize the influence of slowly decaying residual currents (Iae), the current (I(t)) is integrated only during the exposure interval (Texp). By this means, disturbing artifacts due to residual signals from earlier photographs are minimized.
