20080205590 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR BINOCULAR STEROSCOPIC SCANNING RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING - In a binocular steroscopic scanning radiographic imaging method, X-rays emitted by the same radiation source are used. The X-rays pass through a double-slit collimator to form two X-ray beam sectors, which are symmetric or asymmetric and have an angle between them. The X-ray beam sectors, after penetrating through an object under detection, are received by the left and right detector array, respectively, then converted into electric signals to be inputted to the respective image acquisition systems, and received by a computer processing system for image processing and displaying. A system corresponding to the method comprises a radiation source, a beam controller, two mutually connected arms of detector arrays, image acquisition systems connected respectively to each of the detector arrays and a computer processing system. The present invention can display the transmission images detected by each of the detector arrays as well as tomograms with different depth reconstructed from the transmission images according to the principle of parallax. The present invention is convenient, fast in detection and realizes with low cost the recognition of objects of different depths. | 08-28-2008 |
20080251156 | METHOD AND DEVICE OF IRRADIATION OF LOGS WITH ELECTRON BEAMS AS A PHYTOSANITARY TREATMENT - For quarantine treatment of a farming and forestry product for pest control, a method and a device may irradiate logs as a phytosanitary treatment with electron beams. The method may include: spreading the logs; aligning the spread logs to be flush at one end; conveying the spread and flush logs laterally; conveying the logs longitudinally through an irradiation field formed by accelerators to provide treatment of irradiation with the electron beams; throwing the irradiated logs out; and laterally conveying the logs away. The device may include a conveying device for conveying the logs, a shielding structure surrounding the conveying device, and accelerators provided in the conveying path of the conveying device. Two or more accelerators may be provided in centrosymmetry about the conveying path. | 10-16-2008 |
20080253517 | METHOD AND DEVICE OF IRRADIATION OF LOGS WITH X-RAY AS A PHYTOSANITARY TREATMENT - A method for conducting irradiation of all logs of a whole vehicle with X-rays as a phytosanitary treatment may include: connecting a traction device and a goods carrying vehicle outside a shielding door; opening the door; the traction device pulling the vehicle into a tunnel; closing the shielding door; upon the vehicle reaching an irradiation region, accelerators generating X-rays; the traction device pulling the vehicle to pass through the irradiation region; stopping the X-rays; opening the door; the traction device pulling the vehicle away from the irradiation treatment tunnel; and disconnecting the traction device from the vehicle. A device may include a shielding structure, a tunnel formed therethrough; a rail along the tunnel; accelerators within the tunnel; and a traction device for pulling a vehicle carrying goods for quarantine treatment, the accelerators symmetrically arranged at both sides of and on the top of an irradiation region in the tunnel. | 10-16-2008 |
20090087026 | METHOD AND SYSTEM OF MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION USING BINOCULAR STEROSCOPIC AND MULTI-ENERGY TRANSMISSION IMAGES - The present invention provides a method and system of material identification using binocular steroscopic and multi-energy transmission image. With the method, any obstacle that dominates the ray absorption can be peeled off from the objects that overlap in the direction of a ray beam. The object that is unobvious due to a relatively small amount of ray absorption will thus stand out, and the material property of the object, such as organic, mixture, metal and the like can be identified. This method lays a fundament for automatic identification of harmful objects, such as explosive, drugs, etc., concealed in a freight container. | 04-02-2009 |
20100243874 | PHOTONEUTRON CONVERSION TARGET - A photoneutron conversion target for generating photoneutrons by directing an x-ray beam at the photoneutron conversion target includes an elongated body having a first end and a second end. When the photoneutron conversion target is in use, the x-ray beam enters the body and propagates in a direction from the first end to the second end. The body of the photoneutron conversion target is shaped such that propagation of the x-ray beam is substantially proportionate to an intensity distribution of the x-ray beam, so that the greater an intensity of x-rays of the x-ray beam, the greater the propagation distance of the x-rays within the body of the photoneutron conversion target. The photoneutron conversion target according to the invention can make full use of the x-ray beam so as to increase a yield of photoneutrons. | 09-30-2010 |
20100246763 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTRABAND DETECTION USING PHOTONEUTRONS AND X-RAYS - A method and a system for contraband detection in an object using photoneutrons and x-rays includes an x-ray generator that generates an x-ray main beam including a first x-ray beam and a second x-ray beam, the first x-ray beam being directed to pass through the object. A photoneutron conversion target is arranged to receive the second x-ray beam so as to generate photoneutrons, the photoneutrons being directed to enter the object and react with the object to emit characteristic γ-rays. An x-ray detecting arrangement is arranged to receive the first x-ray beam that has passed through the object in order to perform x-ray imaging detection of the detected object. A γ-ray detecting arrangement is arranged to receive the characteristic γ-rays in order to perform neutron detection of the object based on the characteristic γ-rays. The x-ray imaging detection and the neutron detection are simultaneously performed. | 09-30-2010 |
20100266103 | PHOTONEUTRON CONVERSION TARGET AND PHOTONEUTRON - X RAY SOURCE - A photoneutron-x ray source includes a photoneutron conversion target, which outputs both photoneutrons and x-rays simultaneously. The photoneutron-x ray source includes an x-ray generator for generating an x-ray main beam that is applied to the photoneutron conversion target. The photoneutron conversion target generates photoneutrons upon the application of the x-ray main beam to the photoneutron conversion target. The photoneutron conversion target has a body that defines a passageway extending through the body and that is structured such that a first x-ray beam of the x-ray main beam can pass through the passageway without any reaction with the body, while a second x-ray beam of the x-ray main beam can enter the body and react with the body to emit the photoneutrons. | 10-21-2010 |
