Patent number: 10524750Abstract: A scanning system includes a first base, a bed panel, a bed board, a second base and an X-ray mechanism. The bed panel, movably located on the first base, includes a first image-receiving module. The bed board is movably located on the bed panel. The second base, located aside to the first base, includes a second image-receiving module. The X-ray mechanism, connected with the first base, includes an X-ray tube. While the bed panel and the bed board are moved away from the second base, and the X-ray mechanism is moved toward the second base; then, the X-ray tube would undergo a vertical movement to a position aside to a lateral side of the first base by facing the second base.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2017Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: INSTITUTE OF NUCLEAR ENERGY RESEARCH, ATOMIC ENERGY COUNCIL, EXECUTIVE YUAN, R.O.CInventors: Ho-Hui Hsieh, Sheng-Pin Tseng, Syuan-Ya Huang

Patent number: 10016170Abstract: The invention provides a loading mechanism for x-ray tube. The loading mechanism for x-ray tube includes an x-ray tube, a swing element and a rotating element. The x-ray tube includes a focal spot location and an x-ray opening. The swing element includes a first rotating axis, and the first rotating axis passes through the focal spot location. The swing element rotates about the first axis to rotate the x-ray tube within a limit swing range. The rotating element is connected to the swing element. The rotating element has a second rotating axis, and the first rotating axis perpendicular to the second rotating axis. The rotating element rotates about the second rotating axis to drive rotate the x-ray tube and the swing element. In addition, the scanning system for three-dimensional image is provided.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2016Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: INSTITUTE OF NUCLEAR ENERGY RESEARCH ATOMIC ENERGY COUNCIL, EXECUTIVE YUAN, R.O.C.Inventors: Sheng-Pin Tseng, Ho-Hui Hsieh

Patent number: 9200948Abstract: A tomographic scanning apparatus for scanning an object under test and retrieving projection-related data of the object with a light/radiation source and a detector operating in conjunction therewith includes an object carrier, a light/radiation source carrier, a detector carrier, a control module, a processing module, and a rail system (or rotating arm). The object carrier is disposed at a center of the rail system or a center of rotating tracks of the rotating arm. The light/radiation source carrier and the detector carrier move along a rail of the rail system or along the rotating tracks of the rotating arm. The carriers have a rotating mechanism, moving mechanism, and/or height adjusting mechanism for performing rotation, horizontal movement, and/or height adjustment. Accordingly, the tomographic scanning apparatus operates in various ways to suit various applications, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2014Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: INSTITUTE OF NUCLEAR ENERGY RESEARCH, ATOMIC ENERGY COUNCIL, EXECUTIVE YUANInventors: Meei-Ling Jan, Tien-Hsiu Tsai, Ho-Hui Hsieh

Patent number: 9161729Abstract: An apparatus for X-ray photography includes a first X-ray source, a first driving device, and an image detecting device. The first X-ray source has a light emitting end, provided with a block element. The first X-ray source generates an X-ray beam, and the block element is used for constraining a projection field of the X-ray beam, so that the X-ray beam has a first boundary. The X-ray beam is cast onto an object, and the object has a reference center and an imageable area. The first driving device is used for driving the first X-ray source to rotate around the object within an angle range with the reference center of the object as a center, so that when the first X-ray source is located at a first position, the first boundary passes through the reference center.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2013Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: INSTITUTE OF NUCLEAR ENERGY RESEARCH ATOMIC ENERGY COUNCIL, EXECUTIVE YUANInventors: Ho-Hui Hsieh, Meei-Ling Jan, Tien-Hsiu Tsai
