    摘要: A radiation imaging device having a moisture impermeable metal layer compressed against a scintillator layer by compressible layer that is mechanically compressed against the scintillator layer. The metal layer is attached to the scintillator substrate by an adhesive ring surrounding the perimeter of the scintillator substrate. The adhesive can further include moisture getter particles. Preferably the metal layer is comprised of aluminum with a thickness between 25 μm and 100 μm to allow the layer to be flexible as free of pinholes to prevent ingress of moisture. The compressible layer can be compressed by the housing to maintain the metal layer in contact with the scintillator layer. The metal layer not only provides moisture protection for the scintillator but also increases the output of the scintillator by reflecting photons generated by the scintillator layer toward the photodetector array of the radiation imaging device.

    摘要: A semiconductor imager device is arranged for receiving a series of charge packets. It comprises a charge-to-voltage conversion circuit for receiving the charge packets on a reception capacitance and has an interconnected arrangement of a floating diffusion, a first reset gate, a reset drain and a source follower for readout. In particular, the device has a series arrangement of at least the first reset gate as a proximate reset gate and furthermore a distal reset gate, wherein in a high-gain configuration the proximate reset gate is cyclically controlled and the distal reset gate is continuously on, thus limiting the reception capacitance to a relatively low value. Alternatively, in a low-gain configuration the proximate reset gate is continuously on, thus extending the capacitance to a relatively high value and the distal reset gate replaces the proximate reset gate as being cyclically controlled for conversion of the series of charge packets.

    摘要: Wirebond protection is provided for imaging tiles in which the imaging sensor and PCB are mounted side-by-side on a tile carrier for use in X or Gamma Ray indirect imaging detectors without use of a “glob top” encapsulant. A glass cap comprising a bead of adhesive material and a lid is formed to provide an enclosed open-air cavity around the wire bonds. As such, any expansion of the bead material does not produce mechanical stress on the wire bonds.

    摘要: A method of making a high resolution camera includes assembling, imaging and processing. The assembling includes assembling on a carrier a plurality of sensors. Each sensor is for imaging a portion of an object. The plurality of sensors are disposed so that the portions imaged by adjacent sensors overlap in a seam leaving no gaps between portions. The imaging images a predetermined known pattern to produce from the plurality of sensors a corresponding plurality of image data sets. The processing processes the plurality of image data sets to determine offset and rotation parameters for each sensor by exploiting overlapping seams.

    摘要: A device and method for continuous vertical clocking a charge-coupled device image sensor operating in a time delay and integration and binning mode of operation is disclosed. The method includes providing a charge-coupled device image sensor with a continuous charge transfer signal to a vertical charge-coupled device register for shifting charge continuously to more closely approximate the speed of movement of the target object of capture by the image sensor in order to eliminate artifacts in the TDI imaging direction. The control module of the CCD image sensor provides the continuous charge transfer signal to the vertical charge-coupled device register.
