Patent number: 11992351Abstract: The disclosure is directed to an apparatus, system, and method for performing energy-resolved scatter imaging during radiation therapy upon a patient. The apparatus includes a radiation detector capable of resolving the energy of the scattered photons due to Compton scattering during radiation therapy. The radiation detector outputs a first signal when photon energy of the detected photons is within a first energy range and a second signal when photon energy of the detected photons is within a second energy range. The apparatus also includes an image controller configured to receive the first and second signal and obtain an energy-resolved scatter image data set. The energy-resolved scatter imaging improves the contrast and sensitivity for identification of different tissue types. Therefore, tumor tracking during radiation therapy and image guidance during radiotherapy are improved.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2018Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: Rush University Medical CenterInventors: Kevin Chapman Jones, Julius V. Turian, James C. h. Chu

Publication number: 20100252787Abstract: A flat glass panel for use in applications requiring high visible and infrared transmittance (such as a solar panel) is made using lower cost batch materials containing iron oxide impurities. Iron oxide is known as an additive for decreasing infrared/visible transmittance of glass. Removal of iron oxide impurities from batch materials is very expensive. This invention uses common batch materials having iron oxide impurities to produce a glass with high transmittance by adding a clarifier comprised of 0.05 to 0.4 weight percent of manganese dioxide (MnO2). The optional addition of vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) enhances ultraviolet blocking of the glass for protecting coatings within a solar panel from ultraviolet-induced damage.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2009Publication date: October 7, 2010Applicant: ZELEDYNE, LLCInventor: James V. Jones

Patent number: 6995102Abstract: A blue glass composition comprises a soda-lime-silica base and a colorant portion consisting essentially of about 0.4 to 0.65 weight percent total iron oxide, about 0.1 to 0.3 weight percent manganese oxide, and cobalt oxide in an amount effective to produce a cobalt concentration of about 0.0002 to 0.0013 weight percent (about 2 to 13 ppm). The glass is characterized by a ratio of ferrous oxide to total iron oxide between about 0.43 and 0.58. The glass composition exhibits a combination of high visible transmittance, high infrared absorption and enhanced blue coloration. This is attributed in large part to the combination of ferrous oxide and cobalt oxide and to the effect of manganese oxide in reducing iron sulfide formation and thereby avoiding amber coloration.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2003Date of Patent: February 7, 2006Assignee: Visteon Global Technologies, Inc.Inventors: James V. Jones, Edward N. Boulos
