Patents by Inventor Brian D. Hooten

Brian D. Hooten has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • High-resolution ion chamber
    Patent number: 8044365
    Abstract: Nested ionization chambers provide independent measurements of a radiation beam that does not fully irradiate the volume of one or both chambers. By mathematically combining these independent measurements, partial volume effects caused by a change in ionization detector calibrations when the full detector volume is not irradiated by the radiation beam, may be decreased, providing more accurate measurement of extremely small radiation beams.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: October 25, 2011
    Assignee: Standard Imaging, Inc.
