Lucas P. ZBUR 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).

  • Concealed substance detection with hyperspectral imaging
    Patent number: 11741595
    Abstract: A drug screening system and methods of using the same are disclosed. The drug screening system identifies and highlights drugs or other contraband substances enclosed within mailpieces based on score imagery computed from selected wavelengths based on chemical signatures. A wide-field, multispectral short-wave infrared imaging system allows for dissolved, concealed drug screening of mailpieces that improve inspection efficiency and accuracy.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 27, 2021
    Date of Patent: August 29, 2023
    Assignee: CHEMIMAGE CORPORATION
    Inventors: Jihang Wang, Evan Krieger, Rick Beideman, Lucas P. Zbur

  • Extended particle swarm band selection
    Patent number: 11120288
    Abstract: The disclosure provides methods, systems, and computer program products for detecting compounds of interest that are deposited on or associated with objects of interest. The compounds of interest are not limited and include drugs, alcohol, cannabis, narcotics, controlled substances as defined by state, federal, or international law, ammonium-based explosives, MGE-based explosives, toxic compounds, organic compounds, inorganic compounds, nerve agents, or biological compounds. The disclosure increases the speed and efficiency of processing hyperspectral images, especially on low-power or portable devices.
