Patents by Inventor Robert J. Langley

Robert J. Langley has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10405818
    Abstract: A digital radiography detector has a two dimensional array of photosensors, with control electronics electrically connected to the photosensors. A substantially rigid housing encloses the photosensors and the control electronics. A surface of the housing includes antimicrobial material to inhibit growth of pathogens.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 20, 2017
    Date of Patent: September 10, 2019
    Assignee: Carestream Health, Inc.
    Inventors: Robert J. Langley, Scott T. MacLaughlin
  • Patent number: 10341581
    Abstract: A digital radiographic detector includes a multi-layered core having integrated circuits generating heat within a housing of the detector. A thermally conductive component that is configured to provide a distinct function for the core is thermally coupled to the integrated circuits to also serve as a heat sink therefor.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9354326
    Abstract: A radiographic imaging detector has photoimaging pixels disposed in an array, control electronics for controlling operation of the array to capture radiographic images, and a voltage source for powering the array of photoimaging pixels and the control electronics. A housing with multiple parts encloses at least the array and the control electronics and provides a seating for the voltage source. A first part has a first mating surface, a second part has a second mating surface. The first and second mating surfaces are disposed adjacent to each other and define a gap therebetween with a hydrophobic material deposited along at least one of the first and second mating surfaces.
