Abstract: The present specification describes a smart security management system for managing the flow of people through security checkpoints in order to optimize overall throughput and efficiency. In an embodiment, the system includes a centralized database which is connected to a plurality of security checkpoints and which uses benchmark response data generated by a specific type of screening devices for a set of individuals. In an embodiment, the response data gathered by similar types of screening devices located at security checkpoints is compared with the benchmark response data stored in a centralized database to provide faster security clearance to individuals.

Abstract: An ultra-wide band microwave based personnel/passenger screening system, and in particular, a system for material specific detection, uses non-ionizing radiation in which focused beams of low intensity microwave radiation are projected in rapid succession at an individual as they walk through a portal, which has a funneled entrance and a funneled exit with the portal between the funnels.

Abstract: The present application discloses a computed tomography system having non-rotating X-ray sources that are programmed to optimize the source firing pattern. In one embodiment, the CT system is a fast cone-beam CT scanner which uses a fixed ring of multiple sources and fixed rings of detectors in an offset geometry. It should be appreciated that the source firing pattern is effectuated by a controller, which implements methods to determine a source firing pattern that are adapted to geometries where the X-ray sources and detector geometry are offset.

Abstract: The present specification discloses a radiographic inspection system for screening an area. The inspection system has a container that defines an enclosed volume, a radiation source positioned within the enclosed volume, a detector array, a movable structure attached to a portion of the base of the container, and a controller programmed to move the movable structure to achieve an optimum height of the radiation source's field of view based upon a plurality of data.

Abstract: The present application discloses an X-ray imaging apparatus for determining a surface profile of an object under inspection that is positioned at a distance from the apparatus. The X- ray imaging system has an X-ray source for producing a scanning beam of X-rays directed toward the object, a detector assembly for providing a signal representative of an intensity of X- rays backscattered from the object, and processing circuitry to determine a time difference between when the X-ray source is switched on and when the backscattered X-rays arrive at the detector assembly. The processing circuitry is adapted to output data representative of the surface profile of the object under inspection.

Abstract: The present specification discloses a multi-view X-ray inspection system having, in one of several embodiments, a three-view configuration with three X-ray sources. Each X-ray source rotates and is configured to emit a rotating X-ray pencil beam and at least two detector arrays, where each detector array has multiple non-pixellated detectors such that at least a portion of the non-pixellated detectors are oriented toward both the two X-ray sources.

Abstract: The present specification discloses an X-ray scanning system with a non-rotating X-ray scanner that generates scanning data defining a tomographic X-ray image of the object and a processor executing programmatic instructions where the executing processor analyzes the scanning data to extract at least one parameter of the tomographic X-ray image and where the processor is configured to determine if the object comprises a liquid, sharp object, narcotic, currency, nuclear materials, cigarettes or fire-arms.

Abstract: An X-ray scanning system with a non-rotating X-ray scanner generates scanning data defining a tomographic X-ray image of an object. A processor analyzes the scanning data to extract parameters which can be mapped against a database to determine if the object comprises a sharp or pointed object, e.g. a knife. The parameters include a predefined length to width aspect ratio (because blades are typically longer in one dimension compared to another), or a predefined repeating structure (such as areas of high density and low density which might indicate the case/blade/air gaps of a folded knife). Also disclosed are methods of detecting narcotics, firearms, nuclear materials, tobacco, currency and liquids, and systems for sorting scanned items into categories (e.g. threat, or clear).

Abstract: A processor analyses a tomographic X-ray image to determine contiguous volumes of low density material (e.g. in the range 1 3 g/cm3) in sheet or bulk shapes, to determine statistical properties of the contiguous volumes (e.g. mean value, standard deviation, skew), to search for collections of randomly oriented small parts (which might be tablets in a jar or bag) or to search for a structured arrangement of parts (which might be tablets in pop-out packaging). This data is used to identify narcotics by mapping against a database. An X-ray scanning system with a non-rotating X-ray scanner is used to generate the tomographic X-ray image of the scanned object. Also disclosed are methods of detecting knives, firearms, nuclear materials, tobacco, currency and liquids, systems for sorting scanned items into categories (e.g. threat, or clear).

Abstract: A gantry scanning system comprises a gantry, a radiation source, radiation detectors, a control system and a rechargeable power storage means 50 mounted on the gantry, wherein the power storage means is arranged to be connectable to a power supply 48 so that it can be recharged. Guide means define a path along which the gantry can move, wherein the power storage means is arranged to be connectable to the power supply only when it is in one or more recharging positions on the path. Recharging means may be provided at each end of the path so that the power storage means can be recharged in each of two recharging positions 48.
