Patent number: 10006874Abstract: A process for preparing alternative fuels so that it is acceptable for use in cement plants and other manufacturing processes is detailed. This includes a material analyzer that can detect trace contaminants in alternative fuels. This new analyzer, combined with an associated method of processing the alternative fuels allows users to blend the fuel to ensure that it is acceptable for plant operations.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2014Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: XRSciences, LLCInventors: Colin Charette, Thomas Atwell, Tom Gibbons, Jacob Lopp, Chaur-Ming Shyu, John Dascomb

Patent number: 9719948Abstract: Systems and Methods for an air slide analyzer for measuring the elemental content of aerated material traveling by air slide. The air slide analyzer has an analyzer having an entrance opening and an exit opening, and an interior tunnel adapted for aerated material conveyed by an air slide; a radiation detector proximal to the analyzer; a neutron source emitting neutrons into material within the analyzer; and a processor to analyze detected information from the radiation detector, wherein emissions from the material being irradiated with neutrons are detected by the radiation detector and analyzed by the processor to provide elemental information of the material in the analyzer.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2016Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: XRSCIENCES, LLCInventors: Colin Charette, Tom Atwell, Jacob Lopp, Chaur-Ming Shyu

Patent number: 8929514Abstract: A dual energy X-ray source for use in Homeland Security, Medical, Non-destructive Testing, and other markets includes a power supply, and a single x-ray tube. The X-ray tube includes two cathodes, and a single anode. The electrons from the cathodes travel predominantly along the axis of the x-ray tube, and impact the anode. The grid and/or focus coil direct the electrons so that electrons can pass by the cathode. The cathodes are kept at different potential, such that the tube can rapidly switch energies, and can rapidly switch output flux from each cathode.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2013Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: XRSciences LLCInventors: Colin Charette, David Reynolds
