Patents by Inventor Krishna Mandal

Krishna Mandal has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Autonomous gamma, X-ray, and particle detector
    Patent number: 9835737
    Abstract: A system and method for imaging gamma- and x-ray, and charged particles sources employing a three dimensional array of scintillation elements arranged surrounding an emission source. According to a preferred embodiment, each element of the array comprises a scintillator element, a solid-state photon detector, and processing electronics to output an electronic signal. The elements may be efficiently packed in both the X-Y plane and stacked in the Z-axis, to provide depth of interaction information. The elements of the array are preferably hierarchically arranged with control electronics provided together for subarray modules (e.g., an n×m×1 module), and synchronization electronics provided at a larger scale. The modules preferably communicate with a control system through a shared addressable packet switched digital communication network with a control and imaging system, and receive control information from that system through the network.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 5, 2017
    Assignees: The Research Foundation for the State University of New York, The Research Foundation for the State University of New York, Cornell University, University of South Carolina, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
    Inventors: Steve Czarnecki, Andrzej Krol, Krishna Mandal, Mark D. Poliks, C. Ross Schmidtlein, Michael Thompson, James Turner
