Abstract
An X-ray sensing apparatus includes a detector array configured to generate a plurality of signals in response to x-rays incident on the detector array during an exposure period; a high-clock logic device communicatively coupled to the detector array; a low-clock logic device communicatively coupled to the high-clock logic device; an accelerometer communicatively coupled to the low-clock logic device; and a processor communicatively coupled to the high-clock logic device. The low-clock logic device is configured to receive an acceleration signal from the accelerometer; determine that the acceleration signal corresponds to a wake gesture; and, in response to determining that the acceleration signal corresponds to the wake gesture, send a first power state change signal to the processor and a second power state change signal to the high-clock logic device.
