Patents by Inventor Peter F. Bloser

Peter F. Bloser 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).

  • Field deployable neutron/gamma spectrometer
    Patent number: 10768320
    Abstract: A system of the present disclosure is capable of detecting, imaging and measuring both neutrons and gamma rays. The system may be portable and/or field deployable. The system may include two or more detector layer cases and a digital processing unit case. The system has a plurality of parallel plates each containing a plurality of detectors. The plates may have non-PSD organic scintillation detectors, scintillation detectors having pulse-shape discrimination (PSD) properties, and inorganic scintillation detectors. A first plate and a second plate are housed within detector layer cases. The scintillation detectors are used in connection to detect, image and measure neutrons and/or gamma rays.
    Type: Grant

  • Tri-material dual-species neutron/gamma spectrometer
    Patent number: 9507035
    Abstract: A system of the present invention is capable of detecting, imaging and measuring both neutrons and gamma rays. In some cases, the system has a plurality of parallel plates each containing a plurality of detectors. The plates comprise non-PSD organic scintillation detectors, scintillation detectors having pulse-shape discrimination (PSD) properties, and inorganic scintillation detectors. In some other cases, the system has a plurality of scintillation rods radially distributed about a central axis, and the scintillation rods comprise non-PSD organic scintillation detectors, scintillation detectors having pulse-shape discrimination (PSD) properties, and inorganic scintillation detectors. A first plate or rod and a second plate or rod are used in connection to detect, image and measure neutrons and/or gamma rays.
