Abstract: A radiation imaging device having a moisture impermeable metal layer compressed against a scintillator layer by compressible layer that is mechanically compressed against the scintillator layer. The metal layer is attached to the scintillator substrate by an adhesive ring surrounding the perimeter of the scintillator substrate. The adhesive can further include moisture getter particles. Preferably the metal layer is comprised of aluminum with a thickness between 25 ?m and 100 ?m to allow the layer to be flexible as free of pinholes to prevent ingress of moisture. The compressible layer can be compressed by the housing to maintain the metal layer in contact with the scintillator layer. The metal layer not only provides moisture protection for the scintillator but also increases the output of the scintillator by reflecting photons generated by the scintillator layer toward the photodetector array of the radiation imaging device.

Abstract: The plastic container includes a hollow body of plastic material having a lower supporting base, a sidewall extending upwardly from the lower base and an upper neck portion extending upwardly from the sidewall with an opening therein. The sidewall includes at least one panel having a central region and an outer boundary, with the outer boundary being depressed with respect to the central region.

Abstract: A personal transport cart is disclosed. The cart is provided with a collapsible steering mechanism to lock the steered wheels for allowing alignment of the cart during the loading and unloading of the cart on a transport vehicle. Furthermore, the rear wheel can be locked against movement during the transportation of the cart on the transport vehicle.
