| 20090110151 | X-RAY WINDOW AND RESISTIVE HEATER - The system includes a conductive window, a spectrum changing layer, a fiber optic bundle, a camera sensor, and a power supply. The spectrum changing layer is excited by the x-rays and emits a different wavelength of light, such as visible light. The fiber optic bundle receives the visible light from the spectrum changing material and transmits the visible light to the camera sensor. The camera sensor detects the light emitted from the spectrum changing layer and converts the information to electronic signals. The camera sensor is cooled by a cooling device, as such thermal conduction may cool the fiber optic bundle. To avoid condensation, current may flow through the conductive window thereby heating the conductive window. | 04-30-2009 |
