Patent number: 10090072Abstract: One or more metal printing techniques are described for generating a three-dimensional metal structure, such as a one-dimensional or two-dimensional anti-scatter grid. The techniques comprise applying a thin layer of powdered metal onto a printing area and using a binder (which is printed onto the printing area according to a specified pattern) to bind the powdered metal particles together. The acts of applying powdered metal and a binder may be repeated a plurality of times until a three-dimensional metal structure having a specified height is created. Moreover, in one embodiment, once the layering is complete, another binder is applied to the one or more layers to provide strength and/or support. While heat may be used in some embodiments to activate one or more of the applied binders the three-dimensional metal structure is generally not heated to a melting point of the powdered metal.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2015Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: ANALOGIC CORPORATIONInventors: Ruvin Deych, Daniel Abenaim

Patent number: 9601223Abstract: Anti-scatter plates are used to attenuate secondary radiation so that it is not detected by a detector array. However, anti-scatter plates often cast dynamic shadows on the detector array which results in noise in signals produced by the detector array. As disclosed herein, an anti-scatter grid comprises at least two anti-scatter plates. A percentage difference in the shadows cast by the first and the second anti-scatter plates is substantially zero (e.g., causing uniform percentage change in shadows cast on the detector array). Additionally, the shadows that are cast by the anti-scatter plates may be substantially static. In one embodiment, this is accomplished by having a top surface of an anti-scatter plate that has a transverse dimension that is less than a bottom surface of the anti-scatter plate.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2009Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Analogic CorporationInventors: Ruvin Deych, Ben Tuval
