Abstract: An imaging device suitable for detecting certain imaging particles and recording the detection of imaging particles, and as such can include certain recording devices such as a charge storage structure.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for detecting particles emitted by nuclear material. The systems comprise one or more semiconductor devices for detecting particles emitted from nuclear material. The semiconductor devices can comprise a charge storage element comprising several layers. A non-conductive charge storage layer enveloped on top and bottom by dielectric layers is mounted on a substrate. At least one top semiconductor layer can be placed on top of the top dielectric layer. A reactive material that reacts to particles, such as neutrons emitted from nuclear material, can be incorporated into the top semiconductor layer. When the reactive material reacts to a particle emitted from nuclear material, ions are generated that can alter the charge storage layer and enable detection of the particle.

Abstract: A method of operating an electronic device including determining an initial charge level at a non-volatile charge storage structure of a radiation-sensitive device including a radiation-reactive material and determining if a first radiation event has occurred based upon the non-volatile charge storage device having a different charge level than the initial charge level. The method further includes identifying the first radiation event as associated with either a first type of radiation or a second type of radiation based upon the different charge level.

Abstract: A concentrate for producing a reactive mixture which mold and mildew cannot tolerate and which removes mold and mildew from a surface without scrubbing. The primary active ingredients of the concentrate consist essentially of acetic acid, sodium metasilicate, sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium alkyl benzene sulfonate, and sodium-o-phenylphenolate. A surfactant such as polyethoxylated nonyl phenol can be included to increase the solubility of the phenolate in aqueous solution.An improved method of preparing the concentrate in a manner to prevent formation of silica gel includes adding the acetic acid last, and a three stage mixing procedure. The mold and mildew is removed by mixing the concentrate with water and bleach, and thereafter spraying the mixture onto an area to be treated.
