Multimodal photon and neutron imaging devices with fast event-by-event multisampling readout and optimized particle type discrimination

Patent Degtiarenko, Pavel V.; Musatov, Igor

A particle imaging method for distinguishing between types of incident particles, such as neutrons, photons, and alphas, and improving the position resolution of particle imaging devices with matrix readout. The method includes high frequency multisampling readout electronics that provides the sequences of multiple measurements for each detected event, resulting in recorded detailed waveform information describing the signals. Such detailed information is used to approximate each signal waveform with a parameterized function in which the extracted parameter sets determine the type of the incident particle in an optimized fashion. The detailed event-by-event multisampling information for each signal readout channel in themore » « less

Device and method for constructing and displaying high quality images from imaging data by transforming a data structure utilizing machine learning techniques

Patent Korbin, John P.; Peterson, David A.; Smith, Matthew David; ...

Constructing a computer image from raw imaging data or encoded imaging data by transforming a first data structure in which the raw imaging data or the encoded imaging data is stored into a second data structure storing reorganized imaging data. The raw imaging data or the encoded imaging data is received, stored in the first data structure. The computer reorganizes the raw imaging data or the encoded imaging data into the reorganized data and stores the reorganized data in the second data structure, which is a multi-dimensional array having subarrays containing local information needed by a convolutional neural network formore » « less

On-line fast response device and method for measuring dissolved gas in a fluid

Patent Tutu, Narinder Kumar [Manorville, NY]

A method and device for the measurement of dissolved gas within a fluid. The fluid, substantially a liquid, is pumped into a pipe. The flow of the fluid is temporally restricted, creating one or more low pressure regions. A measurement indicative of trapped air is taken before and after the restriction. The amount of dissolved air is calculated from the difference between the first and second measurements. Preferably measurements indicative of trapped air is obtained from one or more pressure transducers, capacitance transducers, or combinations thereof. In the alternative, other methods such as those utilizing x-rays or gamma rays maymore » « less

Terahertz imaging devices and systems, and related methods, for detection of materials

Patent Kotter, Dale K.

Terahertz imaging devices may comprise a focal plane array including a substrate and a plurality of resonance elements. The plurality of resonance elements may comprise a conductive material coupled to the substrate. Each resonance element of the plurality of resonance elements may be configured to resonate and produce an output signal responsive to incident radiation having a frequency between about a 0.1 THz and 4 THz range. A method of detecting a hazardous material may comprise receiving incident radiation by a focal plane array having a plurality of discrete pixels including a resonance element configured to absorb the incident radiationmore » « less

In some aspects of the disclosure, a method and an apparatus is disclosed for investigating material surrounding the borehole. The method includes generating a first low frequency acoustic wave within the borehole, wherein the first low frequency acoustic wave induces a linear and a nonlinear response in one or more features in the material that are substantially perpendicular to a radius of the borehole; directing a first sequence of high frequency pulses in a direction perpendicularly with respect to the longitudinal axis of the borehole into the material contemporaneously with the first acoustic wave; and receiving one or more secondmore » « less
