摘要:
An x-ray diagnostic apparatus and methods performs Real-Time Digital Radiography with particular application in dental x-ray imaging modalities, such as Orthopantomography, Scannography, Linear Tomography and Cephalography, by using a versatile and modular electronic unit, featuring ultra fast computation capability to serve diversified image sensor typology and scanning modality. In Digital Orthopantomography and Scannography, a plurality of tomographic images at different depths of the jaw can be generated, based on the pre-selection made by the user interface. The image processing unit utilizes for the tomo-synthesis of the diagnostic image an accurate and economic digital simulator of the radiographic film speed, including a digital frequency synthesizer fed with film cassette speed digital input and high resolution clock signal, ensuring accurate and reproducible phase continuity of the output frequency signal. It also introduces an automatic adaptation of the frame acquisition rate in frame transfer mode, based on the actual speed of the cassette unit. By this method the dynamic of the exposure signal is reduced, and a better optimization of the signal response of the x-ray detector is achieved.

An apparatus and method used in dental panoramic and cephalographic x-ray equipment provides automatic adjustment of the pre-programmed exposure factors in order to obtain optimisation of the grey scale of the latent image on various kinds of x-ray detectors, such as the radiographic film or x-ray image detector plates. A sensor, such as photo diodes, detects the intensity of the radiation passed through the patient and incident on the x-ray detector and feeds it to a control unit. The control unit provides a computed simulation of the latent image grey level and adjusts the programmed exposure factors in order to establish the grey level of the latent image at the required reference value.

摘要:
It is foreseen to measure the rotational speed (V) of a motor (4) by measuring the electromotive force (e.m.f.) This e.m.f. is calculated as the difference between the terminal voltage (Va) and the voltage drop at a reference resistor (S), through which the armature current flows, then this value is used as a velocity feedback signal for motor regulation. Particularly, the terminal voltage (Va) is cyclically measured at two successive close instants (t1, t2), during which the armature resistance (Ri) and the motor e.m.f. can be considered constant; these terminal voltage values (V.sub.at1, V.sub.at2) are stored, then elaborated to perform the actual armature resistance (Ri) during that interval (t1-t2), then this value is multiplied for the instant current (I). The result is then substracted from the terminal voltage (Va) and only at that time the resulting e.m.f. is used as a velocity feedback signal for the velocity feedback circuit. The apparatus for carrying out this process is also disclosed.
