US Patent Issued to Siemens Medical Solutions USA on July 28 for "Edge arrangement for tileable pixelated emission sensor" (Illinois Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 28 -- United States Patent no. 12,693,437, issued on July 28, was assigned to Siemens Medical Solutions USA Inc. (Malvern, Pa.).

"Edge arrangement for tileable pixelated emission sensor" was invented by Alexander Hans Vija (Evanston, Ill.) and Miesher Rodrigues (Buffalo Grove, Ill.).
