  • Publication number: 20240255657
    Abstract: A detector module for an X-ray detector includes at least one sensor unit for detecting X-rays, and at least one anti-scatter grid in a stacking arrangement with the at least one sensor unit. The at least one sensor unit is fixed in place on the at least one anti-scatter grid. The at least one anti-scatter grid includes a fastener for securely mounting the detector module on a carrier unit of the X-ray detector.

  • Publication number: 20240177881
    Abstract: An anti-scatter grid for stacked arrangement with a sensor element for the detection of X-ray radiation having a collimator element with a plurality of collimator walls having a wall height, that are arranged adjoining one another in at least one first direction perpendicularly to the stacking direction of the stacked arrangement. At least one collimator wall of the collimator element has at least one end stop element in the form of a protrusion protruding beyond the wall height along the stacking direction for a positioning of the sensor element relative to the collimator element.

  • Patent number: 11476013
    Abstract: An anti-scatter collimator is for arrangement in a stacked construction with an X-ray detector. In an embodiment, the anti-scatter collimator includes collimator walls arranged adjacently at least along a first direction. The collimator walls are mutually spaced to provide a through-channel between each pair of adjacent collimator walls. The through-channels provided by the arrangement of the multiplicity of collimator walls are at least partially filled with a filler material.

  • Patent number: 4447534
    Abstract: Residue-free production of ethanol and unicellular protein in a gas-fluidized bed, in which ethanol production takes place in a gas-fluidized bed (stirred fluidized bed, fluid column), the particle fraction of which consists of a wet microorganism mass, e.g. Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A nutrient solution with fermentable carbohydrates is sprayed onto the fluidized particles. The ethanol, which evaporates with the water, is precipitated in a condenser on the discharge side, so that the fluidized bed serves as bio-reactor as well as one-stage distillation plant (together with the cooling system). Thus, the mash column, which is normally used for alcohol production with the submersion method, is not needed in the present invention. In place of the residue, a protein-rich product with 30-40% dry mass is formed, which, during continuous operation, can be removed at certain intervals from the bioreactor and can be dried to the desired degree.
