Abstract: A medical imaging device and apparatus (4) having an x-ray detector (10) formed of a plurality of semiconductor pixel detectors (12), each having an associated electric circuit (15) and counter (68, FIG. 5B). In use, a subject disposed between an x-ray generator (2, FIG. 1) and the x-ray detector (10), and is irradiated and the x-rays incident upon the pixel detectors (12) are directly converted into a corresponding electrical signal which is digitised by the electric circuit (15) and counted by the counter (68). These digitised electrical signals represent the energy and incidence position of the absorbed x-rays and can be manipulated to provide an image representative of the x-rayed subject. The image may be such that visual analysis may be performed in real time.

Abstract: A combination carrier used for holding a fishing rod and reel and fishing tackle. The combination carrier is made of lightweight, heavy duty fabric with padding therein. The carrier can be carried by hand or held on a shoulder using a hand and shoulder strap when fishing. The carrier provides for quick access to a variety of fishing equipment supplies. The combination carrier includes a flexible carrier member having a front cover integrally attached to a lower fold portion. The lower fold portion is integrally attached to a rear cover. The front cover, when folded upwardly on the fold portion and indexed with the rear cover, is releasably attached to the rear cover using hook and loop fasteners. The hook and loop fasteners are disposed along the length of three sides of the front and rear covers. The front and rear covers include a plurality of pockets inside and outside for holding fishing tackle.
