Patent number: 7636418Abstract: An inspection system provides for inspection of cargo containers. A scanning tunnel has an entrance and an exit, a plurality of scanning entrance doors, each having an open position and a closed position, at least one of the plurality of scanning entrance doors interior to the scanning tunnel; a plurality of scanning exit doors, each having an open position and a closed position, at least one of the plurality of scanning exit doors interior to the scanning tunnel. A scanner is adapted to scan the contents of a container inside the scanning tunnel when at least one of the plurality of scanning entrance doors is in the closed position and at least one of the plurality of scanning exit doors is in the closed position. A carrier carries the container through the tunnel.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2008Date of Patent: December 22, 2009Assignee: EG&G Middle EastInventors: Aijaz Anwar, Thomas Bromell

Patent number: 7209540Abstract: An inspection system allows scanning an entire vessel and its contents in a water-filled passage. A radiation source emits a beam of radiation across a radiation path between the radiation source and a radiation detector. An imaging subsystem creates an image of the entire vessel and its contents from the radiation detector, displaying the image for an inspector. If suspect areas are detected, the inspector can flag the vessel for manual inspection. A water exclusion system excludes most of the water from the radiation path, allowing imaging of underwater portions of the vessel in addition to above-water portions of the vessel. A transport system moves the vessel through the passage at a predetermined distance from one side of the passage. Rollers prevent damage to the vessel and the side of the passage in transit, while also positioning the vessel at the predetermined distance from the side of the passage.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2004Date of Patent: April 24, 2007Assignee: EG&G Middle EastInventors: Abdulaziz Al Muhanna, Khalid Abaal Khail, Aijaz Anwar, Nagib El Alam
