Latest Patents

One of Anderson's latest patents is an "Apparatus and method for detecting high-energy radiation." This invention discloses an apparatus for spatially correcting an image frame. In some embodiments, the apparatus stores a frame of pixel values and scans a multi-pixel correction window across the frame. Spatial correction is performed on pixels within the window at correction positions during the scan. The spatial correction comprises estimating pixel values at value estimation positions based on one or more pixel values within the window for pixels satisfying a logical condition. The value estimation positions correspond to pixel values that do not fall within the window again during the scan. Additionally, the patent describes an apparatus for detecting high-energy radiation, where integration circuitry is used for integrating charge responsive to radiation photon interaction events. The circuits are controllable according to an exposure control signal to vary an exposure window duration based on an operating parameter of the apparatus.

Another significant patent is the "Ionising radiation detector." This assembly for monitoring ionising radiation comprises a detector substrate that generates electronic charge responsive to incident ionising radiation. The detector substrate has an array of ionising radiation sense volumes formed in it. A circuit substrate supporting an array of read-out circuits corresponding to the array of sense volumes is mechanically and electrically coupled to the detector substrate. Each of the read-out circuits is switchable between first and second charge integration modes for receiving charge from a corresponding sense volume. A charge integration circuit is configured in the first charge integration mode to integrate charge corresponding to sensing a single ionising radiation detection event in a corresponding sense volume and in the second charge integrating mode to integrate charge corresponding to sensing a plurality of ionising radiation detection events in the corresponding sense volume.
