Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus (10) for counting X-ray photons (12, 14). The apparatus (10) comprises a sensor (16) adapted to convert a photon (12, 14) into a charge pulse, a processing element (18) adapted to convert the charge pulse (51) into an electrical pulse (53) and a first discriminator (20) adapted to compare the electrical pulse (53) against a first threshold (TH1) and to output an event (55) if the first threshold (TH1) is exceeded. A first counter (22) counts these events (55), unless counting is inhibited by a first gating element (24). The first gating element (24) is activated when the first discriminator (20) outputs the event (55), and it is deactivated, when the processing of a photon (12, 14) is found to be complete or about to be completed by a measurement or by the knowledge about the time that it takes to process a photon (12, 14) in the processing element (18). By activating and deactivating the first counter (22) pile-up events, i.e. pile-up of multiple electrical pulses (53), can be addressed. The invention also relates to a corresponding imaging device and a corresponding method.

Title: Pneu pour véhicules agricoles
Inventor: GANZ DAVID
IPC: B60C11/04
Filed: 2007-11-16
Abstract: L'invention concerne un pneu pour véhicules agricoles qui utilise une sculpture de pneu présentant une surface de contact aplatie sur la largeur et une pluralité de pavés incurvés qui s'étendent de manière alternée depuis chaque paroi latérale vers un emplacement approximativement adjacent à la paroi latérale opposée. Chaque pavé est incurvé de telle sorte qu'une section centrale au centre de la largeur du pneu soit située sur la surface en avant sur la circonférence de sections attenantes du pavé qui s'étendent vers chacune des parois latérales opposées. De cette manière, chaque pavé semble avoir une forme de “banane” incurvée qui s'étend sur la largeur de la surface de contact du pneu selon un alignement globalement axial. Les rainures entre les pavés s'étendent par conséquent de manière globalement axiale sur la largeur. Elles sont rétrécies et présentent une largeur circonférentielle comprise approximativement entre 20 % et 30 % de la largeur circonférentielle moyenne d'un pavé. Cette structure géométrique place davantage de surface en contact avec la route pour une meilleure maniabilité et une plus longue durée de vie et présente un espace de rainure moins important pouvant retenir la boue et les détritus. Cette structure géométrique permet également de presser et d'éjecter hors du pneu une plus grande quantité de boue et de détritus accumulés, avant le passage du sol meuble à la route dure, diminuant ainsi les traces indésirables sur la surface de la route.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to reduce press-in resistance without reducing a force for retaining a tab-shaped terminal. 
     Since a press-in hole 16 of a housing 10 is formed to be gradually wider from the front end toward the rear end, a large dimensional difference between the width of the press-in hole 16 and that of a press-in portion 21 of a tab-shaped terminal 20 is ensured at a front end portion of the press-in hole 16, so that the tab-shaped terminal 20 can be reliably retained in the housing 10. On the other hand, since the dimensional difference between the width of the press-in hole 16 and that of the press-in portion 21 is small at a rear end portion of the press-in hole 16, press-in resistance at an initial stage of a press-in process is reduced.
