Abstract: One or more example embodiments provides a method of manufacturing an anti-scatter grid comprising generating a plurality of channels in a substrate using a laser, the substrate including an x-ray transmitting material; and filling the plurality of channels with an x-ray absorber material. One or more example embodiments provides an anti-scatter apparatus comprising a substrate including an x-ray transmitting material, the x-ray transmitting material including at least one of borosilicate glass or fused silica glass, the substrate defining a plurality of channels therein; and an x-ray absorbing material in the plurality of channels.

Abstract: A sensor assembly is provided including a housing including a tubular portion, a membrane, a cable, an ultrasonic sensor, and a further sensor. The tubular portion includes a first end. The tubular portion connects to the membrane at the first end of the tubular portion. The ultrasonic sensor includes a piezoelectric transducer and a wrap-around electrode. The piezoelectric transducer includes a first side and a second side, the second side of the piezoelectric transducer being disposed opposite the first side of the piezoelectric transducer. The first side of the piezoelectric transducer is mounted to the membrane. The wrap-around electrode includes a first side and a second side, the second portion of the wrap-around electrode being disposed opposite the first portion of the wrap-around electrode.
