  • Patent number: 11249205
    Abstract: A method for determining a bias (?i,j) affecting at least one pixel of a detector (1) of ionizing radiation, the detector comprising a plurality of pixels (10i,j), each pixel being configured to collect charge carriers (6) generated by an interaction of the ionizing radiation in the detector, and to form a pulsed signal under the effect of the generation and collection of the charge carriers, the pixels being distributed in a matrix array, the method comprising: a) following the occurrence of an interaction in the detector, determining a pixel forming a pulse that exceeds an amplitude threshold, during a detection time interval; b) among each pixel determined in step a), selecting a pixel of interest that generates a highest amplitude; c) selecting at least one distant pixel (10f), the position of the distant pixel, with respect to the pixel of interest, being defined beforehand; d) measuring an amplitude of a signal generated by each distant pixel; e) on the basis of each measurement performed in step d),

  • Patent number: 9778111
    Abstract: The invention is a method for estimating a cardiac frequency via the detection of radiation backscattered or transmitted by a bodily zone. The part is illuminated, simultaneously or successively, by light radiation extending over a first spectral band and a second spectral band. A photodetector detects radiation emitted by the bodily zone under the effect of its illumination, in each of the spectral bands. A first detection function and a second detection function are formed from the radiation detected in each spectral band, respectively. The method allows the cardiac frequency to be determined via the determination of characteristic instants that are identified from the first detection function and the second detection function simultaneously.
