US Patent Issued to CBG on July 21 for "Temperature compensation for photomultiplier tube" (Texas Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 21 -- United States Patent no. 12,687,647, issued on July 21, was assigned to CBG Corp. (Austin, Texas).

"Temperature compensation for photomultiplier tube" was invented by William Tapie (Leander, Texas).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An apparatus includes a sensor to generate a light signal in response to receiving gamma radiation, and a photo multiplier tube (PMT) that receives the light signal and generates a corresponding PMT signal. A voltage source provides a supply voltage to the PMT. The magnitude of the PMT signal depends on a magnitude of the supply voltage. A temperature sensor generates a temperature signal with a magnitude that varies with a temperature sense...
