  • Methods and systems for manufacturing composite radiation shielding parts
    Patent number: 11524453
    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for manufacturing a radiation shielding component of an imaging apparatus. In one embodiment, the radiation shielding component may be manufactured by infiltrating metal particles with a binder solution and then curing the binder solution impregnated with the metal particles. In another embodiment, the radiation shielding component may be printed with metal powder, infiltrated with a binding agent, and then cured to polymerize the binding agent.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 13, 2022
    Assignee: GE Precision Healthcare LLC
    Inventors: Yanju Wang, Jimmie Autrey Beacham, Chad Allan Smith, Paul Michael Wervey
  • Methods and systems for composite radiation shielding parts
    Patent number: 11129265
    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for a radiation shielding component including a plurality of parts fused together by metal infiltrated through junctions between adjacent, interconnected parts. In one embodiment, members on a side of a panel may be interlocked with indentations on a side of another and then metal may be infiltrated through a junction between the two panels to fuse the adjacent panels.
