Abstract: A conveyor system for use with a scanning apparatus for the scanning of contained materials such as liquids and the like, especially within containers such as bottles, is described, comprising a transverse conveyor having a conveyor surface; a plurality of container support modules each adapted to seat on the conveyor surface; wherein each container support module comprises a lower surface that sits upon the conveyor surface of the conveyor and upper part in which a container-receiving recessed portion is defined. A method of conveying bottles using such a system is also described.

Abstract: A method for the inspection of contained flowable materials within containers, such as detecting an explosive liquid in a luggage, and an apparatus for performing the method are described. The method includes the steps of: performing a radiation scan, using X-rays or Gamma rays, of a target item container of contained flowable material in a radiation scanning system to derive a spatially distributed and spectroscopically resolved measured dataset of the intensity of radiation emergent from the target item; considering the spatially distributed and spectroscopically resolved dataset of transmitted radiation intensity to be nominally determined in accordance with a relationship: └O┘·└δ┘=└λ┘ where the operators └δ┘ and └λ┘ define, respectively, physical parameters describing the liquid and the container and the system response and the operator └O┘ defines the relationships between the system response and the liquid and container parameters; numerically processing the measured dataset by operator inversion in order to derive a best fit solution of: [δ]=[O]−1·[λ]; and using that derived solution to determine the threat status of the target item.
