  • Method and means for predicting contents of containers
    Patent number: 4259577
    Abstract: 1. A method for detecting and differentiating between containers of submed junk and explosive-filled mines in demolition operations, comprising the steps of subjecting an unknown submerged container under surveillance to a gamma radiation source, traversing said submerged container with said source along a standard diagnostic path, detecting the changes in intensity of the radiation penetrating the submerged container, and recording the variations of intensity of said radiation penetrating the submerged container along said path to obtain a density signature of said submerged container and contents enabling a positive identification of said unknown submerged container by comparison of its density signature with density signatures of known containers.
