Abstract: A tuning method for a collimator of a CT machine, which, in each cycle of X-ray scan operation and stop, may include determining whether an X-ray is generated from the anode plate; calculating the Z-direction heating displacement of the slot plate during the current scan based on a detected X-ray, driving the slot plate to move by the heating displacement in the Z-direction, calculating the total Z-direction heating displacement of the slot plate at the end of the current scan, calculating the cooling displacement of the slot plate during the current stop based on the stop time of the X-ray, and driving the slot plate to move.

Abstract: A housing (10) used in portable electronic devices includes gripping portions (40) defined thereon, such gripping portions being bounded by grooving created in a surface of the housing. A method of manufacturing the housing is also provided, the method includes these steps: forming a housing; grinding the housing; polishing the housing; and forming the gripping portions on the housing.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a metallic shell (100) from a base shell made of metal is provided. The metallic shell includes an grippable portion (12). The method includes six steps, as follows. The base shell is formed (S1). The base shell is ground (S2) and burnished (S3) and then washed and cleaned (S4). The grippable portion of the metallic shell is engraved (S5) to yield a texture approximating a wood grain. Finally, the base shell is anodically treated (S6).
