Physics and Astronomy Faculty Patents

Apparatus for use in examining or treating patients with X-radiation or the like requires the making of a permanent record of the radiation applied. The operation of the radiation source is controlled in dependence upon the making of the record and the to radiation, or dose exposure is limited to a predetermined amount. A method is disclosed for safeguarding the patient and for producing a tangible record of the dose to which the patient is subjected.


Electrical Sensor Of Plane Coordinates, George S. Hurst, James E. Parks May 1972

Electrical Sensor Of Plane Coordinates, George S. Hurst, James E. Parks

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Patents

An inexpensive electrical sensor of plane coordinates employs juxtaposed sheets of conducting material having electrical equipotential lines extending across each sheet and arranged normal to each other. A probe upon touching each sheet at a selected intersection of the equipotential lines causes separate signals to be applied to one or more conventional information-indicating units.
