Patents by Inventor Daniela BUETTNER

Daniela BUETTNER has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10899672
    Abstract: The invention relates to a ceramic material (14) for generating light when irradiated with radiation, wherein the ceramic material comprises a stack of layers (15, 16) having different compositions and/or different dopings. The ceramic material may be used in a spectral computed tomography (CT) detector, in order to spectrally detect x-rays, or it may be used as a ceramic gain medium of a laser such that temperature gradients and corresponding thermo-mechanical stresses within the gain medium can be reduced.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 15, 2015
    Date of Patent: January 26, 2021
    Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.

  • Patent number: 9777214
    Abstract: A ceramic or polycrystalline scintillator composition is represented by the formula (LuyGd3-y)(GaxAl5-x)O12:Ce; wherein y=1±0.5; wherein x=3±0.25; and wherein Ce is in the range 0.01 mol % to 0.7 mol %. The scintillator composition finds application in the sensitive detection of ionizing radiation and may for example be used in the detection of gamma photons in the field of PET imaging.
