ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 8 -- United States Patent no. 12,730,232, issued on Sept. 8, was assigned to KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V. (Eindhoven, Netherlands).
"Pulse shaper circuit" was invented by Christoph Herrmann (Aachen, Germany).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A pulse shaper circuit (200) for use in a spectral photon counting detector (120) includes an integrator (210) and a reset circuit (230). The integrator (210) includes an output (220) that generates an output pulse (V(t))) having an amplitude (Vpeak) indicative of an energy of a detected photon. The reset circuit (230) discharges the integrator (210) a first time period (DT1) after the output (220) of the integrator (210) exceeds a first th...
