  • Patent number: 11435488
    Abstract: A radiation detector (100) adapted for detecting leakage currents is disclosed and comprises a direct conversion material (101) for converting incident radiation, at least one first electrode (108) and a plurality of second electrodes (103) connected to surfaces of the direct conversion material (101) for collecting each generated charges upon application of an electric field, at least one current measurement device (201), and a plurality of signal processing chains (210, 220, 230). Each signal processing chain comprises a readout unit (215, 216, 217, 218, 219) for discriminating between energy values with respect to the incident radiation, and a switching element (214) for sending signals on a first signal path (2141) electrically connecting one of the plurality of second electrodes with the readout unit, or on a second signal path electrically connecting the one of the plurality of second electrodes with an input to one of the at least one current measurement devices.

  • Patent number: 9957937
    Abstract: A suspension for fuel injection systems is used for connecting a fuel injector to a fuel-carrying component. A connecting body having a receiving space is provided for this purpose. The connecting body has an opening, via which a fuel fitting of the fuel injector is insertible at least partially into the receiving space of the connecting body. Furthermore, an annular element and an elastically deformable element are provided. Fuel fitting is supported via the annular element and the elastically deformable element along an axis of the receiving space of the connecting body. A fuel injection system having such a suspension is also indicated. The suspension allows for a soft coupling of the fuel injector to the fuel-carrying component at a desired target stiffness.
