Patent number: 11832896Abstract: An interventional device includes a sensor interconnection region (101) for making electrical contact to a sensor (102) disposed on the interventional device. The interventional device includes an electrically conductive elongate shaft, a sensor strip (104), electrical conductors (105, 106), and an electrical shield layer (109). The electrical conductors (105, 106) extend along the sensor strip between a sensor region (111) and a window (112) within which the electrical conductors (105, 106) are exposed. The sensor strip (104) is wrapped around the elongate shaft (103) in a spiral such that the electrical conductors (105, 106) extend along the longitudinal axis (A-A?) within the window (112), and such that an electrical shield contact portion (109?) adjacent the window (112), the window (112), and an exposed portion of the electrically conductive elongate shaft (103?) beyond the wrapped sensor strip provide the sensor interconnection region (101).Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2019Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Willem-Jan Arend De Wijs, Johannes Wilhelmus Weekamp, Gerardus Franciscus Cornelis Maria Lijten, Egbertus Reinier Jacobs

Patent number: 11464584Abstract: An interventional device includes an elongate shaft and a transducer strip. The transducer strip includes a first edge and an opposing second edge. The first edge and the second edge are separated by a width dimension, and the first edge and the second edge each extend along a length direction of the transducer strip. The transducer strip also includes a piezoelectric transducer that extends along a transducer direction that forms an acute angle with respect to the length direction. The transducer strip is wrapped in the form of a spiral around the elongate shaft of the interventional device such that the piezoelectric transducer forms a band around the elongate shaft. The width dimension is defined such that the adjacent first and second edges of consecutive turns of the spiral abut or overlap one another.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2019Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Willem-Jan Arend De Wijs, Cornelis Gerardus Visser, Hendrik Roelof Stapert, Johannes Wilhelmus Weekamp, Gerardus Franciscus Cornelis Maria Lijten, Eric Franciscus Johannes Claessens

Publication number: 20140321609Abstract: A scintillator pack (2) and a CT X-ray detector array (1) comprising such scintillator pack (2) are proposed. The scintillator pack (2) comprises an array of scintillator pixels (3). At a bottom surface (31) of each scintillator pixel (3), an X-ray absorbing encapsulation (13) is provided. This encapsulation (13) comprises an electrically insulating highly X-ray absorbing material having an atomic number greater than 60 such as, for example, Bismuth oxide (Bi2O3). The X-ray absorbing encapsulation (13) is interposed between the scintillator pixels (3) and an electronic circuit (19). The electronic circuit (19) may be provided as an ASIC in CMOS technology and may therefore be sensitive to X-ray induced damage. The encapsulation (13) provides for good X-ray protection of such electronic circuit (19).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2012Publication date: October 30, 2014Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Simha Levene, Nicolaas Johannes Anthonius Van Veen, Lev Gregorian, Antonius Wilhelmus Maria De Laat, Gerardus Franciscus Cornelis Maria Lijten, Rafael Goshen

Patent number: 8718226Abstract: A tiled detector assembly (1000) and a method for making a tiled radiation detector (1000) is described. The innovative feature of this method is that the xyz misalignment of the detector tiles (304, 304?), the origin of various image artifacts, can be significantly reduced by accurate sizing and alignment of the detector tiles (304, 304?). Consequently, image quality, yield and reliability of as-produced tiled radiation detectors are considerably improved.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2009Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: TrixellInventors: Jorrit Jorritsma, Tiemen Poorter, Gerardus Franciscus Cornelis Maria Lijten, Johannes H.
