  • Target composition determination method and apparatus
    Patent number: 8000440
    Abstract: A target composition determination apparatus includes, an x-ray emission element for concurrently transmitting x-ray photons with a plurality of different energy levels at a target, and an x-ray detection element for receiving x-rays interacting with the target and for determining the energy levels of the received x-rays, the x-ray detection element generating at least one output signal indicative of the number of x-rays interacting with the target and the energy levels determined for each of the x-rays, and a processing element receiving the output signal and indicating the presence of at least one component material within the target using the received detection element signal and a multivariate calibration prepared for the target, the apparatus including that the output signal of the x-ray detection element is batched over a pre-selected time period to define the physical resolution of the target composition apparatus when a target is moved relative to the apparatus.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 7, 2007
    Date of Patent: August 16, 2011
    Assignee: Agresearch Limited
    Inventors: Philip Edward Petch, Geordie Robert Burling-Claridge, Serguei Timofeevich Zavtrak, Martin Peter Upsdell

  • Method of processing data from a spectrophotometer
    Patent number: 6958479
    Abstract: A method of processing data from at least one spectrophotometer characterized by the steps of transferring the data from the spectrophotometer to a control processing unit, processing the data at the central processing unit, and transferring the processed data to the output device.
