Abstract: A spinning toy including a base, at least one shaft coupled to the base, and at least one winged object having a hub and a series of wings coupled to the hub. The hub of the winged object is rotatably mountable on the shaft. When the hub is rotatably mounted on the shaft and rotated relative to the shaft, the winged object is configured to move along the shaft toward the base.

Abstract: A radiation detector for detecting radiation such as x-rays. The radiation detector includes a detector having a plurality of pixels, wherein each of the pixels is used for detecting the radiation. The radiation detector also includes a ball grid array (BGA) package having a plurality of solder balls formed on a first side and a plurality of contacts formed on a second side. The BGA package also has a cavity, in which at least one integrated circuit (IC) chip is mounted. The IC chip has a plurality of readout channels, each of the readout channels being coupled to a corresponding one of the pixels via a corresponding one of the solder balls to receive an electrical signal corresponding to the radiation detected by the corresponding one of the pixels.
