Patents by Inventor Kelly A. Jordan

Kelly A. Jordan 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).

  • Patent number: 11385364
    Abstract: Various examples are provided for portable neutron imaging. In one example, a portable neutron-imaging system is described. A compact neutron source assembly can comprise an ion-beam bombardment source generating an isotropic source of monoenergetic neutrons. The neutron-imaging system does not include a moderator or collimator. Instead, the emission source and image-capture apparatus are placed in close proximity to an object to be imaged. Quality images were obtained with short exposure times of less than 20 seconds.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 27, 2017
    Date of Patent: July 12, 2022

  • Patent number: 11079512
    Abstract: The detection and assay of fissionable material is carried out on a container known or suspected to have a material with at least one fissionable isotope. The material is irradiated with neutrons from two or more different neutron sources. The fission rates inducted at each irradiation energy are acquired with at least one neutron detector. A multispectral active neutron interrogation analysis (MANIA) is carried out to compare the detected fission rates of the neutron spectra with calculated fission rates where an iterative algorithm is carried out on a system of linear equations to solve for the isotopic composition of one or more isotopes to determine the presence, identity, and quantities of fissionable isotopes in said container.
