  • Patent number: 6803777
    Abstract: A method of testing a device under test comprising providing a beam of light from a light source having a first wavelength. Imposing the beam of light on a test device over a spatial region within the test device substantially greater than the first wavelength, wherein the test device has a first state of refraction. Imposing the beam of light on the test device over a spatial region within the test device substantially greater than the first wavelength, wherein the test device has a second state of refraction. Obtaining data resulting from the interference of the first beam and the second beam within the device under test representative of the voltages within the region, wherein the first state of refraction is at a first voltage potential, and wherein the second state of refraction is at a second voltage potential different from the first voltage potential.

  • Patent number: 6026135
    Abstract: A multisensor vehicle-mounted mine detector having one or more sensors leading the vehicle for detecting objects in the ground while moving. A navigational system tracks the coordinates of the detected objects, performs data fusion, declares whether the object is a target worthy of interest and if so, stops the vehicle with a trailing thermal neutron activator sensor (TNA) over the coordinates of the object and interrogating the object with slow neutrons to confirm whether it contains sufficient nitrogen to indeed be a mine. The TNA confirmation is kept brief due to the use of a strong source coupled with means for analysing the resultant pulses and rejecting piled-up pulses. The difference between an integration of the entire pulse and a portion of the pulse is compared against a predetermined difference for a normal pulse wherein variations therebetween are indicative of a piled-up pulse which is then rejected.
