  • Contamination detection simulation systems and methods
    Patent number: 8794973
    Abstract: Provided are contamination detection simulation systems and methods comprising a control unit that generates a first signal comprising data corresponding to a simulated source of contamination; a simulated detector that receives the signal from the control unit, the simulated detector positioned at a distance from a surface; a proximity detector that determines the distance between the simulated detector and the surface and outputs a distance result; and a processing unit that generates a second signal in response to the first signal and the distance result.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 17, 2009
    Date of Patent: August 5, 2014
    Assignee: Radiation Safety and Control Services, Inc.
    Inventors: Eric L. Darois, Frederick P. Straccia, James P. Tarzia
