A flexible digital radiographic detector assembly uses a conformable bag having granular media therein to enclose the detector and to help fit the detector onto a curved object. The conformable bag is evacuated to hold the detector against the object to be imaged. An image of the object is acquired by aiming x-rays through the object toward the detector.

A radiation detector module includes a frame, a module circuit board connected to the frame, detector units that each include radiation sensors disposed above the frame and electrically connected to the module circuit board, and an optically and infrared radiation opaque, X-ray transparent, electrically insulating detector shield covering a top surface and at least one side surface of the radiation sensors.

The present invention relates to a battery module comprising a particulate metal-dispersed thermal conductive resin, and a method and a system for inspecting same.

A method of detecting a defect in a wind turbine blade uses a system that includes an X-ray generator, moved by a first transporting means, that generates X-ray to be irradiated to the wind turbine blade; an X-ray detector, moved by a second transporting means, that detects the X-ray generated by the X-ray generator and transmitted through the wind turbine blade; and a control unit. To detect a defect, the control unit divides virtually the wind turbine blade into a plurality of lengthwise sections based on a thickness profile thereof, receives a location of the X-ray generator, and controls output of the X-ray generator based on the location of the X-ray generator relative to the plurality of lengthwise sections. In particular, the output of the X-ray generator is decreased for a section among the plurality of lengthwise sections that is farther from a hub of the wind turbine blade.

A cabinet x-ray device for imaging seeds includes an x-ray source configured to transmit an x-ray beam along a beam path. A seed holder is configured to hold seeds and be selectively positioned in the x-ray device such that the beam path crosses the seed holder and the x-ray beam passes through at least some of the seeds. An x-ray detector is configured to detect the x-ray beam after passing through the seeds such that one or more x-ray images of the seeds can be formed. Self-supporting x-ray shielding can extend circumferentially around the x-ray beam to mitigate x-ray transmission outside the device. A drive mechanism can automatically move the seed holder so that discrete x-ray images of subsets of seeds are taken in an automatic seed imaging operation. Various seed evaluations and seed process evaluations can be made using the device.

Various embodiments include a method for facilitating tomographic reconstruction comprising: emitting an x-ray beam from an x-ray unit; ascertaining an attenuation of the x-ray beam during transmission through an object situated in a beam path of the x-ray beam; ascertaining structure data of the object based at least in part on the attenuation of the x-ray beam; and ascertaining a pose of the x-ray unit relative to the object using a digital model of the object and based at least in part on the attenuation of the x-ray beam.

In one embodiment, a computing system may access design data of a printed circuit board to be produced by a manufacturing process. The system may determine one or more corrections for the design data of the printed circuit board based on one or more correction rules for correcting one or more parameters associated with the printed circuit board. The system may automatically adjust one or more of the parameters associated with the design data of the printed circuit board based on the one or more corrections. The adjusted parameters may be associated with an impedance of the printed circuit board. The one or more corrections may cause the impendence of the printed circuit board to be independent from layer thickness variations of the printed circuit board to be produced by the manufacturing process.

A radiation source applies radiation to a subject. A radiation generation apparatus controls the radiation source. A radiation imaging apparatus includes a pixel array including a plurality of image signal output pixels that outputs image signals based on the radiation applied from the radiation source and a plurality of dose detection pixels that detects a dose based on the radiation applied from the radiation source, and includes a control unit that controls driving of the radiation imaging apparatus and a radiation irradiation timing. The control unit includes a prediction unit that predicts an irradiation time from a result of detection of an integrated irradiation amount by the dose detection pixels, and a drive control unit that changes at least one of the number of frames to be captured and an offset correction processing method based on the prediction result.
