  • Patent number: 9070096
    Abstract: A system for providing a reliable and redundant enterprise management solution includes an appliance disposed at a healthcare facility and a pair device disposed at a remote facility. The appliance includes first processing circuitry, a first virtualization manager and a first synchronizer. The first processing circuitry is configured to enable execution of a plurality of applications. The first virtualization manager is configured to virtualize at least storage components and an execution environment for at least some of the applications. The pair device includes second processing circuitry, a second virtualization manager and a second synchronizer. The second processing circuitry provides redundancy for the first processing circuitry. The second virtualization manager is configured to provide redundancy with respect to the virtualized storage components and execution environment.

  • Publication number: 20070263764
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a detector module (10) for detecting ionizing radiation from an object of interest, and in particular to a computer tomography scanner utilizing a plurality of such detector modules. The detector module (10) comprises a plurality of stacked detection layers (3), wherein each layer includes a scintillator (1) capable of emitting electromagnetic radiation at optical, or near optical, wavelengths in response to interaction with the ionizing radiation (4). Each layer also includes a light sensitive solid state substrate element (2) capable of detecting the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the scintillator and of generating electrical signals thereof.
