Patent number: 7408160Abstract: A system for detecting and graphically displaying a contents of a fast-moving target object comprises: a radiation source, having a position such that at least a portion of radiation emitted from the radiation source passes through the fast-moving target object, the fast-moving target object having a variable velocity and acceleration while maintaining a substantially constant distance from the radiation source and being selected from the group consisting of: a vehicle, a cargo container and a railroad car; a velocity measuring device configured to measure the variable velocity of the fast-moving target object; a detector array comprising a plurality of photon detectors, having a position such that at least some of the at least a portion of the radiation passing through the target object is received thereby, the detector array having a variable count time according to the variable velocity and a grid unit size; a counter circuit coupled to the detector array for discretely counting a number of photons enterinType: GrantFiled: April 28, 2004Date of Patent: August 5, 2008Assignee: Science Applications International CorporationInventors: Victor V. Verbinski, Scott T. Smith, Judith Maxwell, legal representative, Jeffrey M. Adams, Ryan Shyffer, Kenneth H. Valentine

Patent number: 6552346Abstract: A system and method of density detection in a target object involve irradiating the target object, detecting a first and second discrete number of photons penetrating the target object through respective first and second prescribed volumes and entering respective first and second radiation detectors. First and second numbers of photons detected by the first and second radiation detectors are counted, and a display output signal is generated in response to the first and second numbers. A graphical representation of the densities within the first and second volumes of the target object is displayed.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2001Date of Patent: April 22, 2003Assignee: Science Applications International CorporationInventors: Victor V. Verbinski, Scott T. Smith, Kenneth H. Valentine, Victor J. Orphan
