Abstract: The present specification discloses methods for inspecting liquids, aerosols and gels (LAGs) for threats. The method includes scanning LAGs packed in plastic bags in a multiple step process. In a primary scan, the bag is scanned using dual energy CT technique with fan beam radiation. In case of an alarm, the alarming LAG container is scanned again using coherent X-ray scatter technique with cone beam radiation. The system has a mechanism to switch between two collimators to produce either fan beam or cone beam. The system also has a mechanism to position the target properly for scanning and prevent container overlap when scanning multiple LAG containers in a bag.

Abstract: The present invention provides a Time-of-Flight based neutron inspection system. The system 5 employs a collimated beam of fast neutrons for targeted interrogation of suspect areas in cargo. Elemental composition is determined as a function of depth. Analysis is then used to determine the presence of contraband. The system may be used for secondary inspection for material discrimination to reduce false alarm rate and high cost and time associated with manual unpacking. 20-30cm Cargo 202 Shielding & Collimator API Generator ____ 0 Alpha-particle Top View 206 Detector

Abstract: La presente invención describe métodos para la inspección de un objeto. El método incluye analizar un objeto en un proceso de dos etapas. En el escaneo primario, un camión o un contenedor de carga (contenedor) es completamente escaneado con una radiación de haz en abanico, la radiación transmitida se mide con un arreglo de detectores, y la información de transmisión y, opcionalmente, las firmas de fisión se analizan para determinar la presencia de materiales de alta-densidad, de alta Z y fisionables. Si el contenedor activa la alarma en una o más áreas, las áreas son sometidas a un escaneo secundario. Esto se hace mediante el reposicionamiento preciso del contenedor a la ubicación de las áreas sospechosas, el ajuste del sistema de escaneo para centrarse en las áreas sospechosas, la realización de una irradiación estacionaria de las áreas, y el análisis de las firmas características medidas para aclarar o confirmar la presencia de SNM.

Abstract: The present invention provides a gamma-neutron detector based on mixtures of thermal neutron absorbers that produce heavy-particle emission following thermal capture. In one configuration, B-10 based detector is used in a parallel electrode plate geometry that integrates neutron moderating sheets, such as polyethylene, on the back of the electrode plates to thermalize the neutrons and then detect them with high efficiency. The moderator can also be replaced with plastic scintillator sheets viewed with a large area photomultiplier tube to detect gamma-rays as well. The detector can be used in several scanning configurations including portal, drive-through, drive-by, handheld and backpack, etc.

Abstract: A computed tomography (CT) system for scanning an object comprises a high energy X-ray source arranged opposite at least one detector subsystem and a transport mechanism to move the object through the system. The source and at the least one detector subsystem move together around the object in an arcuate trajectory and in a scanning step they rotate around the object though an angle after which the direction of rotation is reversed and a subsequent scanning step follows in the opposite direction of rotation. The arcuate trajectory may range from 20 to 270 degrees. The angle may be: sufficient for reconstructing a CT image; less than 180 degrees plus a fan beam angle and a laminographic image is reconstructed. The detector subsystem may comprise a plurality of detector arrays or a multi-slice detector. The object may be: kept stationary during rotation but moved incrementally between rotations; moved along a conveyor at a speed modulated by the speed of rotation so the conveyor speed varies linearly with the speed of rotation. The X-ray source may be a dual energy source. The system may be contained within a vehicle comprising a conveyor or ramp for transporting the object from outside the vehicle.
