Embodiment Construction

[0018] One or more specific embodiments are described below. In an effort to provide a concise description of these implementations, not all features of an actual implementation may be described in the specification. It should be understood that in the development of any such actual implementation, as in any engineering or design project, a number of implementation-specific decisions must be made to achieve the developer's specific goals, such as adherence to system-related and business-related constraints , these constraints may vary by implementation. Furthermore, it should be appreciated that such a development effort might be complex and time consuming, but would nonetheless be a routine undertaking of design, construction, and manufacture for those of ordinary skill having the benefit of this disclosure.

[0019] When introducing elements of various embodiments of the present subject matter, the articles "a," "an," "the," and "said" are intended to mean that there are on...

Abstract

A computed tomography (CT) scanning apparatus is provided. The CT scanning apparatus includes an energy storage component (58) disposed in a stationary portion of the CT scanning apparatus, wherein the energy storage component is configured to receive electrical power from an external source (51) and to store the electrical power. The CT scanning apparatus also includes an energy storage management system (60) coupled to the energy storage component and configured to regulate both storage of the electrical power on the energy storage component and utilization of the electrical power stored onthe energy storage component by the CT scanning apparatus. The energy storage component is configured to serve as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for the CT scanning apparatus and to provide peak power shaving during peak power operation of the CT scanning apparatus.

Description

Background technique [0001] The subject matter disclosed herein relates to computed tomography (CT) imaging systems, or any x-ray system, and more particularly, to CT imaging systems that are configured for peak shaving and / or have a built-in uninterruptible power source (UPS ) and stabilizers. [0002] Medical CT systems utilize large amounts of power (eg, peak power) for short periods of time (eg, during transmission of x-rays from an x-ray tube). Typically, a three-phase power source is utilized because the amount of electrical power required by a CT system during peak power operation cannot be supplied by a standard single-phase power source. However, certain areas of the world do not have accessible three-phase power available and / or must invest significant costs in providing suitable power infrastructure. In some embodiments, an external UPS can be utilized to meet the peak power demands of the CT system. However, these external UPS systems can take up a lot of space ...
