ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 11 -- United States Patent no. 12,468,050, issued on Nov. 11, was assigned to The Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore).

"Direct energy windowing for photon counting detectors" was invented by Katsuyuki Taguchi (Elkridge, Md.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Techniques for counting respective photons having energy levels within at least a first energy window and a second energy window, where the first energy window is lower than the second energy window, are presented. The techniques include: receiving a first indication of a first photon detection, the first photon detection being of a photon having an energy of at least a lower end of the first energy window; receiving a ...
