  • Patent number: 9743521
    Abstract: A light-emitting module (3a-c; 23; 26; 33a-c) comprising a plurality of light-sources (12a-e; 27a-h) arranged in at least a first and a second column (18a-b; 28a-c) arranged side by side and extending along a first direction of extension (X1) of the light-emitting module (3a-c; 23; 26; 33a-c); and a plurality of connector terminal pairs (13a-b, 14a-b, 15a-b, 16a-b 17a-b), each being electrically connected to a corresponding one of the light-sources (3a-c; 23; 26; 33a-c) for enabling supply of electrical power thereto. Each connector terminal pair (13a-b, 14a-b, 15a-b, 16a-b 17a-b) comprises a first connector terminal (13a, 14a, 15a, 16a 17a) and a second connector terminal (13b, 14b, 15b, 16b 17b) being arranged at opposite sides of the light-emitting module (3a-c; 23; 26; 33a-c).

  • Patent number: 9131895
    Abstract: An electrode configured to provide electrical contact with a subject's skin and includes a conductive layer and a gel layer. The conductive layer spreads current and transmits electrical signals to and/or receives electrical signals from the subject's skin and has a first conductive surface through which electrical signals are transmitted to and/or received from the subject's skin. The first conductive surface is on a side of the conductive layer that faces toward the subject's skin if the electrode is installed on the subject. The gel layer is formed on the same side of the conductive layer as the first conductive surface. The gel layer has a first interface surface that directly contacts the subject's skin if the electrode is installed on the subject, and to conduct electrical signals between the subject's skin and the first conductive surface. The first interface surface has a surface area larger than that of the first conductive surface.

  • Patent number: 8718226
    Abstract: A tiled detector assembly (1000) and a method for making a tiled radiation detector (1000) is described. The innovative feature of this method is that the xyz misalignment of the detector tiles (304, 304?), the origin of various image artifacts, can be significantly reduced by accurate sizing and alignment of the detector tiles (304, 304?). Consequently, image quality, yield and reliability of as-produced tiled radiation detectors are considerably improved.

  • Publication number: 20110002127
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing optical elements (5), comprising the steps of providing (100) an optical sheet (1); coating (103) a reflective layer (4) on the optical sheet (1); and forming (102) a first set of tracks (3), each having a first width, across the optical sheet (1) to divide the optical sheet into a plurality of optical elements (5).
