EG&G plans digital detector debut?

Something is afoot at EG&G Amorphous Silicon. The Santa Clara, CA, company reported late last week that it is planning to make a "major announcement" regarding the production of a new filmless x-ray detector. EG&G says the new technology uses a specially coated large glass panel to produce x-ray images in real-time, and the company has scheduled a press conference for Aug. 21 to discuss the product.
