Patents by Inventor Dale Prokopovich

Dale Prokopovich has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Gamma-ray imaging
    Patent number: 11754731
    Abstract: A coded mask apparatus is provided for gamma rays. The apparatus uses nested masks, at least one of which rotates relative to the other.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 27, 2022
    Date of Patent: September 12, 2023
    Assignee: Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation
    Inventors: David Boardman, Adam Sarbutt, Alison Flynn, Dale Prokopovich
  • Compressive imaging method and system comprising a detector, a mask, and a drive for rotating the mask about at least one of one or more axes of rotational symmetry
    Patent number: 11555935
    Abstract: A mask for use in compressed sensing of incoming radiation includes a material that modulates an intensity of incoming radiation, a plurality of mask aperture regions, and one or more axes of rotational symmetry with respect to the mask aperture regions. Each mask aperture region includes at least one mask aperture that allows a higher transmission of the incoming radiation relative to other portions of the mask aperture region. The relative transmission sufficient to allow a reconstruction of compressed sensing measurements and has a shape that provides a symmetry under rotation about the one or more axes of rotational symmetry. A mutual coherence of a sensing matrix generated by a rotation of the plurality of mask aperture regions is less than one. An imaging system for compressed sensing of incoming radiation including such a mask is also provided.

  • COMPRESSIVE IMAGING METHOD AND SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20210199819
    Abstract: A mask for use in compressed sensing of incoming radiation, the mask comprising: a body formed of a material that modulates an intensity of incoming radiation of interest. The body has a plurality of mask aperture regions, each comprising at least one mask aperture that allows a higher transmission of the radiation relative to other portions of the respective mask aperture region, the relative transmission being sufficient to allow reconstruction of the compressed sensing measurements; the mask has one or more axes of rotational symmetry with respect to the mask aperture regions; the mask apertures have a shape that provides symmetry after a rotation about the one or more axes of rotational symmetry; and mutual coherence of a sensing matrix generated by the rotation of the respective mask aperture regions is less than one. An imaging system for compressed sensing of incoming radiation comprising such a mask is also provided.
