Abstract: In one example, a system for remote access device diagnostics includes a remote access device to execute a number of diagnostic operations and to store results of the number of diagnostic operations, and a computing device to extract the results from the remote access device and to process the extracted results.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to an optical disc drive test. In one embodiment, an optical disc drive of a host electronic device performs a test on itself. The host electronic device requests information about the test from the optical disc drive. The optical disc drive reports information about the test in response to the request.

Abstract: A radiation detector for X-rays or gamma rays is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the radiation detector includes an array of scintillation detectors and a reflector layer that separates the latter from one another and is formed essentially by a binding agent matrix and particles, incorporated therein, of a light-reflecting material. Further, the reflector layer is interspersed with microcavities.

Abstract: A radiation detector is disclosed for X radiation. In at least one embodiment, the detector includes a detector array that has a multiplicity of scintillators separated from one another by partition walls, and a photodiode array that is arranged on the side of said detector array averted from the radiation. In at least one embodiment, electronic subassemblies are arranged in an insensitive region of the photodiodes that is covered by the partition walls, and the partition walls include a material that has an X-ray absorptivity of more than 50%.

Abstract: A scintillator layer is disclosed for a spatially resolving X-ray detector. Apertures provided in a plate and in the form of a grid, are filled with a filling compound formed from a polymer and a phosphor powder.
