Abstract: A device and a corresponding system for reading X-ray information stored in a storage phosphor plate includes a reading device for irradiating the storage phosphor plate with stimulation light and for detecting emission light stimulated in the storage phosphor plate, and a conveyance device for conveying the storage phosphor plate including at least one roller that can be put into rotation about its rotational axis. In order to guarantee, with a simple structure, the most reliable possible transport of the storage phosphor plate, one or more magnets, more particularly permanent magnets, are arranged in the interior of the cylinder which is formed as a hollow body, more particularly a hollow cylinder.

Abstract: A packed phosphor screen or panel consisting of at least one flat square or rectangular screen or panel, optionally packed apart in a wrapper foil, and a sealed package, wherein said package is layered in form of an asymmetrical barrier layer foil, said foil comprising an inner flexible thermoplastic polymer layer and an outer polymer layer in adhesive contact with an aluminum layer situated inbetween said inner flexible thermoplastic polymer layer and said outer polymer layer, wherein said foil is characterized by adhesive forces, between said outer polymer layer and said aluminum layer, of more than 2.5 N/mm2 following DIN 53 357, by a permeation to water vapor of less than 0.01 g per sq.m. in an environment having a temperature of 23° C. and a relative humidity of 75% RV for 24 hours following DIN 53 122, and by a permeation of less than 0.01 cm3 per sq.m. per 24 hours and per bar for each of oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen following DIN 53 380 (ISO 2556, ASTM D 1434).

Abstract: A cassette assembly comprising an X-ray cassette, with a tube side and a cover, and an intensifying screen wherein the cassette assembly further comprises a compensation element adapted to the intensifying screen so as to have a cassette assembly with predetermined X-ray absorption.

Abstract: This invention provides apparatus for slowing down the forward speed of severed head pieces or sample pieces issuing from a rolling mill at rolling mill speed, so that the severed pieces may be removed from the main processing line. This is achieved by providing a separate channel or track which may be switched into and out of the main processing line to receive the severed pieces, with the switching channel being in the form of a loop. Because of this shape, the forward speed of the pieces is reduced rapidly in a switching channel requiring very little space, not only because of its shape, but also because the curved course of the channel increases frictional engagement with the severed pieces, as opposed to a straight switching channel.
