Abstract: A brake cylinder maintaining system that combines a brake cylinder maintaining check valve and a quick service limiting valve into a single unit to have lower hysteresis, and thus more precise BCM regulation pressure and a smaller pressure offset. The check valve and quick service valve are coupled to provide a single system having multiple valve seats for selective communication between quick service pressure and brake cylinder pressure on one hand, and between a brake cylinder maintaining pressure and brake cylinder pressure on the other hand.

Abstract: A variable length support rod apparatus for translational support of a window treatment, such as draperies, comprised of a support member formed of a plurality of transnationally engaged segments, the support member is infinitely configurable from a minimum contracted length to a maximum extended length through a translation of the plurality of segments toward or away from each other. A continuous flexible member is positioned along a pathway running between a first end and a second end of the support member. The support rod may be configured to any length between the minimum and maximum lengths and may be fixed to a support surface without an adjustment of the fixed length of the continuous flexible member.

Abstract: A motorized window treatment support apparatus which allows a user to selectively position the motor on either side of the window over which the window treatments hang. In particular, the support apparatus includes rotatable mounting brackets which may be rotated relative to a support rod to allow the support apparatus to be mounted to the wall in one of two configurations which differ by 180 degrees.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to scintillator module for a CT detector as well as an apparatus and method of manufacturing the same. The scintillator module is comprised of a scintillator array having a plurality of scintillators aligned in parallel with respect to one another. A collimator assembly includes a comb having a number of teeth and a plurality of collimator plates positioned proximate to the scintillator array. The scintillator array includes at least one indexing pin extending therefrom. The indexing pin engages the comb and is constructed to improve alignment of the scintillator array relative to the collimator plates.

Abstract: Disclosed is a modular display system that can be used to display decorative fixtures, such as curtain rods, on a wall. The system can be used to display one or more items in adjacent, vertical positions on a wall. The system is adapted to permit quick and easy replacement of the display items on the display board and to also permit the items to be re-arranged on the display board quickly and easily.

Abstract: A computerized tomography imaging scanner module includes a plurality of scintillators, a plurality of back-illuminated photodiodes optically coupled with the scintillators, a multi-layer substrate having a plurality of substrate electrical conductors to which the photodiodes are electrically coupled, wherein each of the plurality of substrate conductors is connected to a different one of the back-illuminated photodiodes, and a flexible cable having a plurality of flex electrical conductors to which the substrate is electrically coupled, wherein each of the plurality of flex electrical conductors is connected to a different output of the multi-layer substrate.
