Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the use of X-ray detector cassettes that may be abutted or overlapped to form a detector assembly suitable for imaging objects that are too large to image using a single X-ray detector cassette. Such a detector assembly may be customized in terms of the size and/or shape of the field-of-view (FOV). In certain embodiments the radiation-sensitive electronics (e.g., readout electronics) are positioned to the side of the X-ray detecting components (e.g., scintillator, TFT array, and so forth), allowing the cassette to be thin relative to other detector devices and allowing the electronics to remain outside the X-ray beam path.

Abstract: The present approach relates to the fabrication of probes of a probe array device using wire bonding techniques. In certain implementation, a wire bond apparatus bonds ones end of a wire to a region of a probe array substrate. The second end, however, is not bonded to the substrate and instead is either fabricated to be vertical with respect to the substrate or raised from a non-bonded site to be vertical. The process may be repeated to form multiple probes of the probe array.

Abstract: A system includes an implantable sensor assembly. The implantable sensor assembly includes a housing. The housing includes a substrate layer comprising an interior surface and an exterior surface, and a cap layer, wherein the substrate layer and the cap layer are coupled to form an enclosed cavity that at least partially encloses the interior surface of the substrate layer within the cavity and wherein both the substrate layer and the cap layer are formed from an insulating material. The implantable sensor assembly also includes one or more electronic components disposed within the cavity of the housing and one or more probes disposed on the exterior surface of the substrate layer and electrically coupled to the one or more electronic components by one or more electrical connections extending through the housing.
