A digital radiography detector includes a housing having first and second spaced planar members and four side walls defining a cavity. A radiographic image detector assembly is mounted within the cavity for converting a radiographic image to an electronic radiographic image. The detector assembly includes a detector array mounted on a stiffener. A shock absorbing elastomer assembly is located within the cavity for absorbing shock to the detector array/stiffener in directions perpendicular to and parallel to the detector array/stiffener.

A digital radiography detector includes a housing and a radiographic image detector assembly. The housing has a first and second spaced planar members and four side walls defining a cavity. The radiographic image detector assembly is mounted within the cavity for converting a radiographic image to an electronic radiographic image. The detector assembly includes a scintillator screen and a detector array, and the detector assembly is bonded to the first planar member of the housing.

A digital radiography detector includes a casing having a planar member and side walls defining a cavity; a baseplate located within the cavity; and a radiography detector assembly mounted on the baseplate. Means are provided for locating the baseplate on the casing planar member. The means includes protrusion features projecting from one of the baseplate and the casing planar member and complementary recess features on the other of the baseplate and the casing planar member, the protrusion features mating with the recess features. The radiography detector assembly includes a photodetector array mounted on the baseplate and a scintillator screen in contact with the photodetector array, wherein the scintillator screen has one or more edges, and including a clamp mounted on the baseplate for clamping the scintillator screen on the one or more edges to the photodetector array to prevent movement of the screen.

A method for translating a spatial light modulator () to provide dithering comprises the steps of: providing a support () have a high degree of flexibility; rigidly attaching an outer portion () of the support to a nonmoving base; attaching an inner web () of the support to the outer portion by means of flexible members (); wherein the support, the outer portion, the inner web, and the flexible members are located in a first plane; wherein the flexible members allows motion of the inner web in only one dimension of the first plane; attaching a piezoelectric device () to a first end of the inner web; energizing the piezoelectric device to move the inner web in a positive direction in the one dimension; attaching a spring () to a second end of the inner web; and wherein the spring moves the inner web in a negative direction in the one dimension when the piezoelectric device is deactivated.

A mount for adjusting an optical component, comprises a support for the optical component that is pivotable only about a single axis and which is resiliently urged in one direction about the single axis, and a pair of adjusting cams movable towards and away from each other in contact with the support alternatively to pivot the support about the single axis in a reverse direction which is opposite to the one direction and to allow the support to be return-urged in the one direction.

A method for fabricating a holeless hologon disk includes the steps of relatively positioning a disk assembly and a drive shaft assembly in closely spaced relation with the planar surface of the disk normal to the drive shaft's rotational axis. Adhesive is applied between the assemblies and allowed to fix while the relative assembly positions are maintained. In one construction fabricated by such method, the disk assembly comprises a flanged coupling attached to a planar glass disk with compliant adhesive.
