  • Apparatus and process for optimizing radiation detection counting times using machine learning
    Patent number: 11531121
    Abstract: A method is provided to reduce the counting times in radiation detection systems using machine learning, wherein the method comprises: receiving output data from a detector which is to detect a target material from a target body; analyzing the output data; identifying a material of interest from the analyzed output data; and controlling a source of the target material to prevent the source from harming the target body. An apparatus is also provided which comprises: a detector to detect radiation and to provide an output data in real-time; and a processor coupled to the detector, wherein the processor is to: receive the output data; analyze the output data; identify a material of interest from the analyzed output data; and control a source of the target material.

  • Isotope production target
    Patent number: 9396826
    Abstract: An isotope production target may include an outer diameter wall and an inner diameter wall. An isotope source may be located between the inner diameter wall and the outer diameter wall, and the isotope source may comprise fissile material interspersed with one or more voided regions. A central region may be located within the inner diameter wall, and the central region may be configured to house a neutron thermalization volume.
