Abstract: A solid state active pixel image sensor for back illumination by an electron beam is described. The image sensor comprises a thermal conduction layer for heat removal. The image sensor may also comprise a thinned silicon substrate on which an epitaxial layer is formed. The substrate may also be completely removed before or after application of the thermal conduction layer. The thermal conduction layer may comprise a metal, a metal compound, silicon, diamond or graphite.

Abstract: A device for producing dunnage includes a jam detector. The detector is mounted on an outlet chute that receives dunnage produced by a dunnage mechanism of the device. The detector is sensitive to detect a dunnage jam within the outlet chute, and is associated with the dunnage mechanism to cause the dunnage mechanism to stop driving the dunnage into the outlet chute when a jam is detected.

Abstract: A dunnage conversion machine includes a drive mechanism configured to deform a stock material into a continuous length of dunnage. The machine also includes a cutting device configured to sever a piece of the dunnage from the continuous length of dunnage. The cutting device includes a grip configured to move to a closed position at which the grip exerts a force on the piece of dunnage to retain the piece on the machine until the piece is pulled away from the machine, at which point the grip moves to an open position and the machine advances the continuous length of dunnage to commence another cutting cycle.

Abstract: An embolic protection device includes an expandable mesh net coupled to a catheter assembly used in an interventional procedure. The catheter assembly includes an outer catheter, an inner catheter, a compliant balloon, and the mesh net. The catheter assembly can be deployed in a lumen, such as an outflow graft of a left ventricular assist device, a blood vessel, or other bodily lumen. The mesh net is coupled to the inner catheter and is expanded by retracting the outer catheter when positioned in the lumen. The mesh net captures embolic debris before it is able to enter into the patient's blood stream.

Abstract: A fast-decaying, dense phosphor having relatively high light emission is described. Through a combination of material selection, growth and deposition technique, phosphor thin films are made that preserve the necessary light output when used in thin-films, unlike common fast phosphors, such as P-46, P-47, and also have an afterglow that decays much faster than common bright phosphors, such as P-43. Use of the phosphor is described in applications where acquiring many frames/images very quickly is required.
