The detection collimation unit includes: a scintillation crystal array configured to receive a gamma photon emitted by a radioactive source in a detected object; and a number of photoelectric devices configured to receive the gamma photon and converting the gamma photon into a digital signal. The scintillation crystal array includes a number of scintillation crystals. The number of scintillation crystals are arranged substantially in parallel and are spaced from each other. Each scintillation crystal has a side face configured to receive a ray emitted by the radioactive source and an end face. The number of photoelectric devices are coupled to the end faces of the number of scintillation crystals.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a gamma ray imaging device and an imaging method, where the imaging device includes a plurality of separate detectors. The plurality of separate detectors are provided at an appropriate spatial position, in an appropriate arrangement manner and are of an appropriate detector material, such that when rays emitted from different positions in an imaging area reach at least one of the plurality of separate detectors, at least one of the thicknesses of the detectors, the materials of the detectors, and the numbers of the detectors though which the rays pass are different, thereby achieving the effect of determining the directions of rays.

Abstract: Load balancing is described for a distributed computing system. For instance, resource usage information of devices in a distributed system is collected at a target device in the distributed system. Further a first work task for the target device is determined to be stopped based on the resource usage information, the target device having a first authority to execute the first work task. The first authority is then caused to be released. Beneficially, each node in the distributed system can individually balance different task loads and the use of resources by different operations of the task, thereby improving the performance of the distributed system.

Abstract: Event ordering is provided in a distributed file system. For instance, events are generated that are associated with an object collected from nodes in the distributed file system, and an event loop indicates causal dependencies among the events, and comprises one or more reliable edges and unreliable edges. Degrees of reliability of the unreliable edges in the event loop are determined, and then at least one unreliable edge is removed from the event loop based on the determined degrees of reliability. Causal dependencies among the events in the distributed file system are analyzed by using a statistical method, and the most unreliable edge in the event loop can be removed by computing a degree of reliability of each unreliable edge, thereby avoiding the occurrence of the event loop.
