  • Continuously pumped miniature X-ray emitting device and system for in-situ radiation treatment
    Patent number: 6438206
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for in-situ x-ray radiation treatment utilizes different types of miniature energy transducers to emit x-rays. Each type of energy transducer includes a transducer body, a cathode provided at one end of the transducer body, and an anode provided at another end of the transducer body. The transducer body, cathode and anode define a cavity that communicates with an evacuation opening. A desired vacuum is achieved and maintained by a dynamic pumping mechanism that draws a vacuum in the cavity via the evacuation opening.

  • Detection of nitrogenous material
    Patent number: 5247177
    Abstract: Improved method and means for the detection of nitrogenous material or assaying of nitrogenous material in an object on the basis of nuclear resonant attenuation of 9.17 MeV .gamma.-rays. A target in form of one or several .sup.13 C pellets at least 25.mu. thick, or alternatively in form of a body that bears a composite thin film including at least one .sup.13 C layer not more than 1.mu. thick and at least one other substance that is capable of generating supplementary .gamma.-radiation for determining the non-resonant component of attenuation, is bombarded with 1.75 MeV protons to produce a source of 9.17 MeV .gamma.-rays. The target is placed on one side of the inspected object and a .gamma.-ray detector or an array of such detectors is placed on the other side and the total and non-resonant attenuation are read and evaluated.

  • Method and system for detection of nitrogenous explosives by using nuclear resonance absorption
    Patent number: 4941162
    Abstract: A method for the detection of a nitrogenous explosive material in an object is provided which makes use of nuclear resonance absorption. The object to be tested is placed between a 9.17 MeV .gamma.-rays source and an .gamma.-rays detector holding a nitrogen medium. The total and the non-resonant attenuation of the .gamma.-rays flux is read by the detector and fed into a recorder. From the measured attenuation the net non-resonant attenuation is calculated and the amount of a nitrogenous explosive present in the object is determined therefrom.Also provided by the invention is a system for detecting a nitrogenous explosive in an object.
