Power and communication interface between a digital X-ray detector and an X-ray imaging system
First Claim
1. An X-ray imaging system comprising:
- a portable digital X-ray detector including detector circuitry coupled to a detector battery and coupled to at least one receiver coil; and
a power source including a power supply coupled to an on/off switch and coupled to at least one transmitter coil;
wherein the power source is coupled to a detector receptacle of the X-ray imaging system; and
wherein the at least one receiver coil and the at least one transmitter coil are inductively coupled to each other when the portable digital X-ray detector is located within the detector receptacle of the X-ray imaging system to transfer power from the power supply to the detector battery when the on/off switch is in an on position.
