Abstract: A detector module for an X-ray computer tomograph includes a first transducer array for converting X-radiation into light. A second transducer array is fitted on the first transducer array such that second transducer elements of the second transducer array are fitted on a side, opposite the light entrance, of a substrate of the second transducer array.

Abstract: A disc brake assembly for a motor vehicle includes a rotor, a bracket, a pair of brake pads slidably supported by the bracket for movement along a reference axis, and a caliper, also slidably supported by the bracket for movement along the reference axis, bridging the rotor periphery and operative to urge each brake pad into engagement with a respective friction surface of the rotor. A spring clip on the caliper includes a first pair of arms, each resiliently engaging a respective radially-disposed surface on the bracket to thereby releasably secure the spring clip to the caliper. The spring clip also includes a second pair of arms, each resiliently engaging a respective axially-disposed surface on the bracket to urge the outboard portion of the caliper along the reference axis away from the outboard friction surface of the rotor.

Abstract: A detector module for an X-ray computer tomograph, includes a number of sensor arrays provided next to one another on a printed circuit board. Each of the sensor arrays includes a plurality of first contact elements on a top side, averted from the printed circuit board. In order to make contact with the sensor array, the first contact elements are electrically connected to second contact elements with the aid of conductor tracks that are accommodated in or on an electrically insulating flexible carrier.

Abstract: An X-ray detector-module includes one or more rows of detector elements arranged above one another in at least two layers. First detector elements of an upper layer, facing incoming X-radiation, are sensitive to first spectral components of the X-radiation and at least partially transparent to second spectral components of the X-radiation. Second detector elements of a lower layer arranged therebelow, are sensitive to the second spectral components. In the case of the present X-ray detector module, the second detector elements have a larger detector surface than the first detector elements. Further, the ratio and the mutual arrangement of the detector surfaces of in each case a first detector element and a second detector element arranged therebelow is selected such that the first detector element and the second detector element detect the same solid angle of the X-radiation emanating from an X-ray focus with a permanently prescribed relative position in relation to the X-ray detector module.

Abstract: A typewriting or printer film ribbon cassette has a carrier with fixedly spaced pins forming axes for the takeup and supply spools so that, as the ribbon builds up on the takeup spool, the carrier is shifted away from a feed wheel whose axis is coplanar with the axes of the supply and takeup spools against the force of a spring urging the carrier in the opposite direction.
