Abstract: A system for testing objects by means of electromagnetic rays is provided that includes at least one test unit which contains at least one radiation source, arranged in a transportable, container-like housing, for producing electromagnetic radiation and at least one detector array associated with the radiation source. The test system contains at least two test units arranged beside one another, each having at least one radiation source, which are arranged in such a way that the object is irradiated from different directions.

Abstract: A portable control station for the inspection of people and luggage includes a portable, container-like room module, which on two opposite walls has at least one door each. Between the doors, a passage zone for people is formed inside the room module. In the area of the passage zone, a people inspection device is arranged, and alongside the passage zone an inspection device for luggage with a control area is located.

Abstract: A method and system include at least one X-ray source for producing at least one X-ray beam, at least one detector assembly, at least one shutter, and a barcode reader. The shutter directs the at least one X-ray beam toward the detector assembly. The barcode reader is affixed, in a predetermined proximity, to the shutter for detecting a barcode on an object that is moved along the shutter thereby causing the shutter to be opened from a closed state and/or fully closed once the barcode has been detected.

Abstract: The invention relates to an X-ray system for voluminous objects, known in the form of mobile devices that are displaced over the object, or in the form of fixed X-ray systems through which a voluminous object to be inspected (inspection product) is passed. Heavy goods vehicles or delivery vans (VAN) frequently constitute said objects to be inspected and pass through the silhouette system under their own propulsion. The X-rays are activated and deactivated by a preferably three-phase photoelectric barrier system. The aim of the invention is to activate or deactivate the X-rays of an X-ray source using a simple barcode that is attached to an object to be inspected, the object being driven past the X-ray source at a defined distance from the latter. The X-rays of X-ray sources of this type are generally activated by a diaphragm. It is thus advantageous if a barcode reader is located in a predetermined proximity to the diaphragm to define the activation or deactivation of the X-rays.
