20120316809 | VIRTUAL OPTION BOARD FOR USE IN PERFORMING METERING OPERATIONS - Methods, systems, and apparatus are provided for adding functionality to a metering device. A metering device may include a microcontroller (MCU) having separate blocks of memory for storing different types of data. The MCU may store main program code as firmware in one block of the flash memory, while also storing a virtual option board as firmware in a separate block of flash memory. The main program code may be used by the metering device to implement a base level of functionality in the metering device. The virtual option board may be used by the metering device to implement additional functionality. The functionality added by the virtual option board may include customer-specific metering operations and/or market-specific metering operations. | 12-13-2012 |

20090236521 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ULTRAFAST PHOTOELECTRON MICROSCOPE - An ultrafast system (and methods) for characterizing one or more samples. The system includes a stage assembly, which has a sample to be characterized. The system has a laser source that is capable of emitting an optical pulse of less than 1 ps in duration. The system has a cathode coupled to the laser source. In a specific embodiment, the cathode is capable of emitting an electron pulse less than 1 ps in duration. The system has an electron lens assembly adapted to focus the electron pulse onto the sample disposed on the stage. The system has a detector adapted to capture one or more electrons passing through the sample. The one or more electrons passing through the sample is representative of the structure of the sample. The detector provides a signal (e.g., data signal) associated with the one or more electrons passing through the sample that represents the structure of the sample. The system has a processor coupled to the detector. The processor is adapted to process the data signal associated with the one or more electrons passing through the sample to output information associated with the structure of the sample. The system has an output device coupled to the processor. The output device is adapted to output the information associated with the structure of the sample. | 09-24-2009 |

20140348290 | Apparatus and Method for Low Capacitance Packaging for Direct Conversion X-Ray or Gamma Ray Detector - A direct-conversion X-ray detector includes one or more detector modules. The detector modules can include a substrate, one or more sensor tiles, and one or more photon-counting application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). The substrate has a dielectric constant of less than about 3.5 and is capable of lithographic conductor patterning with feature sizes of about 5 um or less. The one or more X-ray direct conversion sensor tiles have an array of one or more electrodes electrically coupled to a first surface of the substrate. The one or more ASICs are electrically coupled to the substrate and disposed laterally along the substrate with respect to the one or more direct conversion sensor tiles. Conductive lines are spaced along the substrate and are configured to electrically couple the one or more X-ray direct conversion sensor tiles to the one or more ASICs. | 11-27-2014 |
20150092912 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FILTERING EMISSIONS FROM SCINTILLATORS - Systems and method for filtering emissions from scintillators are provided. One system includes a scintillator having a scintillator material portion formed from a base scintillator material. The scintillator also includes a photodetector and a filter portion, The filter portion includes a material blocking near-infrared (IR) emissions. The filter portion is disposed on a surface of one of the scintillator material portion or the photodetector, and wherein the scintillator material portion, the photodetector, and the filter portion are coupled together. The filter portion blocks the near-IR emissions from impinging on the photodetector. | 04-02-2015 |
