Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for removing liquid from a sample containing both liquid component and gaseous component. In particular, the liquid component may be separated from the sample by flowing the gaseous component of the sample from a lower chamber to an upper chamber through a membrane. The liquid portion of the sample may be drain from the lower chamber via a drainage channel within the bottom wall of the lower chamber. The liquid portion of the sample flows horizontally outward in the drainage channel through capillary action induced by a capillary part positioned within the drainage channel.

Abstract: X-ray detector arrangement comprising a detector and an anti-scatter grid, the anti-scatter grid being arranged to guide the x-rays in a desired way, the arrangement further comprising a flat box having two flat surfaces spaced from a distance to each other, and edge elements by which the flat surfaces are connected to each other, the anti-scatter grid being integrated to one flat surface of the flat box, and the flat box being provided with a slot at least on one edge of the box to enable insertion of the detector between the two flat surfaces of the box.

Abstract: A mobile X-ray apparatus has a carriage provided with at least one pair of independently driven driving wheels and a motor. The carriage includes a driving handle, which comprises sidebars, attached to a rotation axis solidly fixed to the carriage, and a crossbar, which is connected to the sidebars in an articulated manner to allow the turning movement of the sidebars about the said axis independently of each other. The apparatus also controls the operation of the motor by movements of the handle. The sidebars are provided with a toothed rim that moves along with the movement of the respective sidebar. The movements are measured by a potentiometer, which converts the movement into an electric signal by which the motor of the driving wheels is controlled.
