Abstract: An x-ray system includes an x-ray tube having an anode and a cathode, a sensor configured to sense a condition that results from an operation of the x-ray tube, and a communication device for transmitting a signal to a panel based at least in part on the sensed condition, the panel configured to receive radiation and generate image signals in response to the received radiation. An imaging method includes sensing a condition that results from an operation of an x-ray tube, and transmitting a signal to a panel in response to the sensed condition, wherein the panel is configured to generate image signals in response to radiation, and includes a plurality of image elements.

Abstract: A filter system for insertion into a storm drain pipe for filtering liquid runoff. Storm weather or other runoff will filter through this filter system prior to this runoff passing through to the outfall and into oceans, lakes, streams, ponds or other retention areas. The filtration system fits within the storm drain underneath the manhole and will capture all the runoff. The filtration device contains a stainless steel flange which hinges into the storm drain and a main chamber which extends down into the storm drain containing a series of filter chambers. The first level of filtration the hydrocarbon media can be easily replaced once saturated. An overflow opening is located at the upper portion of the liquid capturing chamber which prevents backflow with excessive runoff.
