Abstract: A radiation imager (10) comprising an array of scintillator elements (30) optically coupled to a photodetector array (20) comprises a dielectric layer (40) extending around at least the sidewalls of the scintillator elements, and preferably over the surface of the scintillator elements (30) through which the incident radiation (70) enters, and an optically reflective layer (50) disposed over the dielectric layer (40). The dielectric layer (40) has an optical index that is less than that of the scintillator material, and consequently light collection efficiency of the scintillator is improved as light photons generated in the scintillator reflected back into the scintillator both at the interface of the scintillator and the dielectric layer (40) and at the optically reflective layer (50). A dome-shaped surface at the end of the scintillator element through which the incident radiation enters and an undulatory-shaped surface at the end of the scintillator which is optically coupled to the photodetectors further increase the light collection efficiency of the scintillator by reducing the number of photons that undergo total internal reflection in the scintillator.

Abstract: The numbers of current sources and switches necessary for a plurality of unit D/A converters using equal reference currents are drastically reduced to accordingly reduce the parasitic capacities to be coupled to current output lines, by converting a plurality of digital signals of a predetermined bit, which are divided from an input digital signal, into an analog current by the action of the unit D/A converters and by converting the analog current in a manner to correspond to the weights of the corresponding input digital signals, thereby to synthesize the currents. The fixed digital signal corresponding to a DC signal providing a reference in the signals to have their offsets canceled is inputted to the D/A converter, and the offsets of a plurality of analog output signals in positive and opposite phases obtained by branching the output of the D/A converter are individually detected. After this, the DC offset values of the individual analog outputs are used as offset adjusting negative feedback signals for a desired value so that one of them is the digital signal to be fed back to the input portion of the D/A converter whereas the other of them is the analog signal to be fed to a path portion obtained by branching the output of the D/A converter.

Abstract: An autoranging instrument having a user selectable range floor includes a controller for receiving data representative of an analog signal to be measured and a function selector for providing range floor information to the controller. In the autoranging mode, the instrument will uprange to a higher range if the measured value is above a predetermined uprange value, and downrange to a lower range if the measured value is below a predetermined downrange value only if the lower range is not below the range floor. A method of limiting display resolution includes the steps of setting a range floor, selecting a measurement range setting having a value at least as high as the range floor, upranging the instrument if the value of a parameter to be measured is above an uprange limit, and downranging the instrument if the value of the parameter to be measured is less than a downrange limit and the range setting of the instrument is above the range floor.

IPC: H04M11/06
Filed: 1994-06-15
Abstract: An approach for operating modems in synchronism with the A/D and D/A converters of the network limits the analog signals transmitted to the modem to low levels and concurrently restricts the received signals to large steps. This set of apparently conflicting signal limitations is achieved with a signal conversion process interposed in the communication path between the two hybrids. In one embodiment of this invention, the code conversion is implemented in an adjunct processor that is associated with a switch that participates in the communication path between the two modems. In operation, a call that needs the conversion process is identified by virtue of the calling party's number and service associated service provision information. When it is established that both the calling party's modem and the receiving party's modem operate in the manner that requires signal conversion, conversion is executed. Echo cancellation may be applied to the signal in the code conversion apparatus to further improve performance.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for reproducing data from a CD-ROM at a constant angular velocity and for recording and reproducing data to and from a magneto-optical compact disc (CD-MO) at a constant angular velocity. Data reproduced from the CD-ROM is demodulated in accordance with an amount of reproduction time of a sync signal contained in the reproduced data. The clock rate of data to be recorded to or reproduced from the CD-MO is determined in accordance with the position or zone on the CD-MO at which the data is to be recorded or from which it is reproduced. The position or zone may be identified by address data which is reproduced from the CD-MO. In addition, a constant rotational velocity of the CD-MO is maintained by measuring an amount of reproduction time of the address data and varying the rotational velocity of the CD-MO in accordance with the measured reproduction time.

Abstract: This invention is a rotation register (208) in a data processing apparatus (71). The data processing apparatus (71) includes a data processor bus (103), the rotation register (208) and a register selection circuit. The rotation register (208) is embodied by a plurality of data registers (200) each having a plurality of equal bit groups. The number of bits within each bit group of each data register preferably equals the number N of data registers. The register selection circuit permits normal register reads and writes via the data processor bus. In the preferred embodiment the set of registers is dual ported and can be read from or written to via two data processor buses (103, 105, 107). The register selection circuit also permits special rotational data accesses. In a rotation read mode the register selection circuit selects noncontiguous bits from a predetermined position within each sections for each of the data registers for read access. In a rotation write mode the register selection circuit selects noncontiguous bits from a predetermined position within each sections for each of the data registers for write access. The data registers (200) are connected together in a loop (208). The most significant bit of each data register connected to the least significant bit of a sequential data register, with the last data register is connected to the first data register. In a register rotation mode the register selection circuit rotates bits in each data register in around the loop. In the preferred embodiment this rotation is by one bit upon each execution of a register rotation instruction. In the preferred embodiment of this invention, the rotation register (208) is embodied in at least one digital image/graphics processor (71, 72, 73, 74) as a part of a multiprocessor formed in a single integrated circuit (100) used in image processing.

Abstract: Osseous substitution prosthesis of modular design adequate for the osseous substitutions of the femur proximal zone, up to the 2/3 of the upper portion of the femur, which has of a metaphisary component, of one or various accumulable diaphisis components and of an intramedullar stem, such that in order to join the metaphisary component, one or various diaphisis components and the intramedullar stem a screw which holds the prosthesis being screwed onto the intramedullar stem is used. The metaphisary component is unique and therefore common to all the interventions and has a medial opening, and the diaphisiary components vary in their lengths from one size to another in a small and fixed quantity rate such that the maximum error that might be committed is precisely the value of that very small established quantity rate. The intramedullar stem may be of different lengths and diameters which are chosen depending on the patient's medular canal diameter and on the bone quality; and in order to improve its fixation, once introduced in the healthy bone, cortical screws are used which hold transversally the lateral tongue of the stem to the bone.
