  • Patent number: 9201025
    Abstract: A method of absolute nuclear material assay of an unknown source comprising counting neutrons from the unknown source and providing an absolute nuclear material assay utilizing a model to optimally compare to the measured count distributions. In one embodiment, the step of providing an absolute nuclear material assay comprises utilizing a random sampling of analytically computed fission chain distributions to generate a continuous time-evolving sequence of event-counts by spreading the fission chain distribution in time.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20130231582
    Abstract: A system and method for monitoring a health parameter of a vehicle occupant where an occupant profile is created that identifies a biological parameter to measure, a measure health parameter to report on and corresponding thresholds that trigger an alert. A vehicle has an integrated sensor that measures the biological parameter according to the profile and provides a signal of the measured biological parameter. A computing device records the measured biological parameter and derives the measured health parameter from the measured biological parameters. If the measured health parameter passes a threshold, then an alert is triggered, and the occupant or interested party is notified.
