摘要： An Y-ray detector apparatus comprises an array of detector pixels arranged into a plurality of sub-arrays. The pixels in each sub-array share a common dose sensing output provided to a dose sensing output conductor which extends to a periphery of the pixel array. The dose sensing output conductor for one sub-array of pixels passes through the area occupied by another sub-array of pixels, which can lead to unwanted cross talk. The invention provides a plurality of additional screening electrodes, with a screening electrode substantially adjacent the dose sensing output conductor for each sub-array of pixels. These screening electrodes reduce cross talk between the dose sensing output and other pixel electrodes. In another arrangement, each pixel further comprises a pixel electrode for each pixel formed at an upper region of the array, and the dose sensing output conductors are formed at a lower regon of the array. An intermediate conductor layer is then provided which overlaps the dose sensing output conductors for other sub-arrays of pixels and which pass through the area occupied by the sub-array of pixels.

摘要： A memory cell is read by first charging a pair of bit lines to given positive potentials and then raising the potential of a cell access line to render access transistors conductive. The cell supply voltage is sufficient to cause substantial hot-electron stress in the n-channel transistors of the cell if it were applied directly across their source-drain paths while they were conductive. However, a limit is imposed on the maximum positive potentials which are applied to the bit lines from the exterior, and on the minimum ratio of the sizes of the cell n-channel amplifier transistors to the sizes of the access transistors, taking into account the threshold voltages of the amplifier transistors, and as a result substantial hot-electron stress does not occur. Substantial hot-electron stress is also prevented during a write operation by arranging that this is effectively preceded by a read operation.

摘要： A tiled detector assembly (1000) and a method for making a tiled radiation detector (1000) is described. The innovative feature of this method is that the xyz misalignment of the detector tiles (304, 304′), the origin of various image artifacts, can be significantly reduced by accurate sizing and alignment of the detector tiles (304, 304′). Consequently, image quality, yield and reliability of as-produced tiled radiation detectors are considerably improved.

摘要： A gate circuit includes an N-channel and a P-channel insulated gate field-effect transistor whose parallel-connected drain-source paths constitute an analog signal gate and a control circuit, connected to the respective gate electrodes, to turn on and/or turn off the two field-effect transistors. In order to handle signals whose voltage value is higher than the maximum permissible drain-source voltage in the on-state of the N-channel field-effect transistor, means are provided, for turning on the N-channel field-effect transistor at least at a drain-source voltage below a predetermined value. In an embodiment of the invention the means include delay means coupled to the control circuit for turning on the N-channel field-effect transistor with a delay relative to the P-channel field-effect transistor. In another embodiment of the invention the means include switching means arranged in series with the analog signal gate, for temporarily connecting the signal gate to at least one auxiliary voltage.

摘要： The present invention generally refers to computed tomography (CT) based imaging systems and, more particularly, to a fast 3D tomosynthesis scanner apparatus and CT-based method without focal spot motion during continuous tube movement around an object of interest (O) or tissue region (M) to be examined (herein also referred to as “object”), which may advantageously be used in cone-beam volume CT mammography imaging so as to avoid motion artifacts and blurring effects. According to the present invention, said 3D tomosynthesis scanner apparatus is adapted to perform a rotational step-and-shoot image acquisition procedure for acquiring a set of 2D projection images during a continuous rotational movement of an X-ray tube (101) in an azi-muthal direction (+φ) along an arc segment of a circular trajectory when rotating around said object (O, M) and subjecting these 2D projection images to a 3D reconstruction procedure. According to the present invention, it is foreseen that, during the image acquisition time for each 2D projection image, the focal spot on the X-ray tube's anode is moved in an opposite direction (−φ)from a start position (bs) to an end position (be) with respect to the rotary X-ray tube's housing such that the azimuthal path distance (Ab) covered by the X-ray tube (101) due to the continuous rotational tube movement during this time is compensated. The 3D tomosynthesis scanner further comprises a mechanism for switching the focal spot on the X-ray tube's anode back to its start position (bs) with respect to said tube housing before starting a new image acquisition process for acquiring image data of a next 2D projection image. The superposition of the focal spot movement with respect to the tube housing and the continuous rotational movement of the X-ray tube (101) along said arc segment results in a stationary focal spot position relative to the object (O, M) and a stationary X-ray detector (104) diametrically oppositely arranged to the X-ray tube (101) with respect to said object (O) for each of the individual 2D projection images.

摘要： In the manufacturing process of color display tubes with a dotted screen pattern, to form the screen (11), a segmented lens (3) is used for exposing the display window (4) in order to apply a structure of a black matrix layer and a layer with electroluminescent material to it. Principally, a segmented lens (3) gives rise to a phenomenon that is called facet marking; this is a result of the fact that the images of consecutive facets (12) of the lens on the screen (11) are disjunct or partly overlap, giving dark lines (42) or bright lines (44). In present day color display tubes—especially for use as computer monitors—it is getting more and more important to reduce facet marking as far as possible. It is proposed to manufacture the segmented lens (3) according to a new process in which the mold (30) for the manufacture of said segmented lens is significantly changed. In the new process, the poles (31) for the mold (30) are stacked by placing them with cylindrical projections (36) into apertures (38) of the carrier plate (37). This prevents leaning poles (31), which result in errors in the inclination of the facets (12). This method of manufacturing the mold (30) makes it possible to decrease the facet size and significantly improve the facet marking in color display tubes.
