Radiation detection device, radiation image acquiring system, radiation inspection system, and radiation detection method
A radiation image acquiring system is provided. An X-ray image acquiring system irradiates X-rays to a subject from an X-ray source, and detects X-rays transmitted through the subject. The X-ray image acquiring system includes a first detector for detecting X-rays that are transmitted through the subject to generate first image data, a second detector arranged in parallel to the first detector with a dead zone region sandwiched therebetween, for detecting X-rays that are transmitted through the subject to generate second image data, and a timing control section for controlling detection timing of the second detector based on a dead zone width of the dead zone region so that first image data to be generated by the first detector and second image data to be generated by the second detector mutually correspond.
ROBOTIC DIVESTITURE SYSTEM
A security checkpoint system is provided. The security checkpoint system includes an automated robotic vehicle including a chassis having a bin secured thereto. The security checkpoint system further includes an identification system to associate an individual that has placed an object into the bin with the automated robotic vehicle. The security checkpoint system further includes a scanner to scan the object in the automated robotic vehicle as the automated robotic vehicles passes therethrough. The security checkpoint system further includes a computing device including a processing unit to cause the automated robotic vehicle to navigate to a location of the individual after the automated robotic vehicle has passed through the scanner.
Self-Propelled Container and/or Vehicle Inspection Device
Disclosed is a self-propelled container and/or vehicle inspection device, comprising: a rack, a power supply apparatus, a radiation source, a detector cabin, at least two driving motors, and a controller. A fixed beam, a first vertical beam, a transverse beam and a second vertical beam of the rack are fixed to one another; the bottom of the second vertical beam is rotatably mounted with a swing beam, forming a balancing suspension. Where a road surface below the device is uneven, the swing beam correspondingly rotates relative to the second vertical beam so as to keep two wheels on the swing beam in close contact with the ground all the time. In the device, a cab of the inspection device is dispensed with, thus staff is not required to drive within the cab and any anxiety of the staff can be eliminated.
Smart wearable mine detector
To improve the problems of conventional mine detectors, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a smart wearable mine detector comprising a human body antenna unit 100, a main microprocessor unit 200, a smart eyeglasses unit 300, a body-mounted LCD monitor unit 400, a wireless data transmission and reception unit 500, a belt-type power supply unit 600, a black box-type camera unit 700, and a security communication headset 800, the smart wearable mine detector: can be detachably worn on the head, torso, arm, waist, leg and the like of a body while a combat uniform is worn, thereby having excellent compatibility with conventional combat uniforms; enables a human body antenna unit which is detachably attached to a body and detects a mine through a super high-frequency RF beam and a neutron technique to be applied so as to detect the mine by identifying metals, nonmetals, and initial explosives of the mine; enables mines buried on the ground and under the ground to be detected in all directions (360), and a distance, location, form, and materials of the mines to be exhibited on smart eyeglasses and a body-mounted LCD monitor unit in real time as 2D or 3D images such that a combatant can engage in battle avoiding mines, thereby improving combat efficiency by 90% when compared to existing combat efficiency; enables a battle to be carried out for three to seven days through a twin self-power supply system of a portable battery and a belt-type power supply unit even without need for charging power; and enables combat situations in a remote place to be monitored, in real time, in a remote combat command server, and allows each combatant to share combat information one to one such that it is possible to construct a smart combat command system capable of remotely commanding real combat situations as if one was on site of the battle.
Container inspection system and port facility
The present application relates to a container inspection system, comprising a radiation source (31), a radiation detection apparatus and a quay crane for hoisting a container onto an automated guided vehicle, said radiation source (31) and said radiation detection apparatus being provided on said quay crane, for performing a scanning inspection on said container loaded on said vehicle. The present application, which does not need a special allocation of approach of the radiation source and the radiation detection apparatus, conveniently effectuates scanning inspection of a container, and improving the inspection efficiency.
System, method, and computer program product for alerting a supervising user of adverse behavior of others within an environment by providing warning signals to alert the supervising user that a predicted behavior of a monitored user represents an adverse behavior
One or more audio feedback output devices receive warning signals for controlling types of audio output by the audio output devices, the warning signals representing that a predicted behavior of a monitored user represents a particular behavior that is potentially adverse and a percentage probability that the predicted behavior is adverse, the monitored user detected within a particular environment monitored by a supervising user, audio feedback output devices worn by the supervising user. The audio feedback output devices operative to control the types of audio outputs of the audio output devices that are detectable by the supervising user wearing the audio feedback output devices according to the warning signals to specifically alert the supervising user that the predicted behavior of the monitored user represents the particular behavior that is potentially adverse and the percentage probability that the predicted behavior is adverse.
Personal identification for multi-stage inspections of persons
A multi-stage control system for inspection of a person includes at least one control device at a first location and at least a follow-up control device at a second location. The control device is configured to determine a follow-up control area of the person, store data defining the follow-up control area in a data set, generate a unique identification feature for the person based on a detected external feature of the person, and allocate the person to the data set. The follow-up control device comprises a display device for displaying a graphical representative of a person, and is configured to display a visually recognizable follow-up control area of the person for finding hidden objects in accordance with a data set allocated to the person. The follow-up control device can also be configured to generate the unique identification feature for the person based on a detected feature of the person.
One-dimensional directional particle detector
A device for determining the location of a source of radiation, based on data acquired at a single orientation of the device without iteration or rotations. Embodiments may comprise two side detector panels flanking a shield layer, plus a front detector positioned orthogonally in front of the side detectors. The various detectors thereby have contrasting angular sensitivities, so that a predetermined angular correlation function can determine the sign and magnitude of the source angle according to the detection rates. Rapid detection and localization of nuclear and radiological weapon materials enables greatly improved inspection of cargo containers and personnel. Advanced detectors such as those disclosed herein will be needed in the coming decades to protect against clandestine weapon transport.
