Abstract

A three-axis radiation detection system whose inner and outer electrodes are shaped and positioned so that the shortest path between any point on the inner electrode and the outer electrode is a different length whereby the rise time of a pulse derived from a detected radiation event can uniquely define the azimuthal and radial position of that event, and the outer electrode is divided into a plurality of segments in the longitudinal axial direction for locating the axial location of a radiation detection event occurring in the diode.

Three-dimensional architecture for solid state radiation detectors

Patent Parker, Sherwood [Berkeley, CA]

A radiation-damage resistant radiation detector is formed on a substrate formed of a material doped with a first conductivity type dopant. The detector includes at least one first electrode formed of first conductivity type dopant, and at least one second electrode that is spaced-apart from the first electrode and formed of a second conductivity type dopant. Each first and second electrode penetrates into the substrate from a substrate surface, and one or more electrodes may penetrate entirely through the substrate, that is traversing from one surface to the other surface. Particulate and/or electromagnetic radiation penetrating at least a surface ofmore »« less

Method and system for determining depth distribution of radiation-emitting material located in a source medium and radiation detector system for use therein

Patent Benke, Roland R.; Kearfott, Kimberlee J.; McGregor, Douglas S.

A radiation detector system includes detectors having different properties (sensitivity, energy resolution) which are combined so that excellent spectral information may be obtained along with good determinations of the radiation field as a function of position.

Method and system for determining depth distribution of radiation-emitting material located in a source medium and radiation detector system for use therein

Patent Benke, Roland R [Helotes, TX]; Kearfott, Kimberlee J [Ann Arbor, MI]; McGregor, Douglas S [Ann Arbor, MI]

A method, system and a radiation detector system for use therein are provided for determining the depth distribution of radiation-emitting material distributed in a source medium, such as a contaminated field, without the need to take samples, such as extensive soil samples, to determine the depth distribution. The system includes a portable detector assembly with an x-ray or gamma-ray detector having a detector axis for detecting the emitted radiation. The radiation may be naturally-emitted by the material, such as gamma-ray-emitting radionuclides, or emitted when the material is struck by other radiation. The assembly also includes a hollow collimator in whichmore »« less

Precision tool holder with flexure-adjustable, three degrees of freedom for a four-axis lathe

Patent Bono, Matthew J [Pleasanton, CA]; Hibbard, Robin L [Livermore, CA]

A precision tool holder for precisely positioning a single point cutting tool on 4-axis lathe, such that the center of the radius of the tool nose is aligned with the B-axis of the machine tool, so as to facilitate the machining of precision meso-scale components with complex three-dimensional shapes with sub-.mu.m accuracy on a four-axis lathe. The device is designed to fit on a commercial diamond turning machine and can adjust the cutting tool position in three orthogonal directions with sub-micrometer resolution. In particular, the tool holder adjusts the tool position using three flexure-based mechanisms, with two flexure mechanisms adjustingmore »« less

Examination system utilizing ionizing radiation and a flexible, miniature radiation detector probe

Patent Majewski, Stanislaw [Grafton, VA]; Kross, Brian J [Yorktown, VA]; Zorn, Carl J [Yorktown, VA]; ...

An optimized examination system and method based on the Reverse Geometry X-Ray.RTM. (RGX.RTM.) radiography technique are presented. The examination system comprises a radiation source, at least one flexible, miniature radiation detector probe positioned in appropriate proximity to the object to be examined and to the radiation source with the object located between the source and the probe, a photodetector device attachable to an end of the miniature radiation probe, and a control unit integrated with a display device connected to the photodetector device. The miniature radiation detector probe comprises a scintillation element, a flexible light guide having a first endmore »« less
