  • Patent number: 7936270
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for space charge dosimeters for extremely low power measurements of radiation in shipping containers. A method includes insitu polling a suite of passive integrating ionizing radiation sensors including reading-out dosimetric data from a first passive integrating ionizing radiation sensor and a second passive integrating ionizing radiation sensor, where the first passive integrating ionizing radiation sensor and the second passive integrating ionizing radiation sensor remain situated where the dosimetric data was integrated while reading-out.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 18, 2009
    Date of Patent: May 3, 2011
    Assignee: UT-Battelle, LLC
    Inventors: Charles L. Britton, Jr., Mark A. Buckner, Gregory R. Hanson, William L. Bryan
  • Patent number: 7932828
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described for space charge dosimeters for extremely low power measurements of radiation in shipping containers. A method includes in situ polling a suite of passive integrating ionizing radiation sensors including reading-out dosimetric data from a first passive integrating ionizing radiation sensor and a second passive integrating ionizing radiation sensor, where the first passive integrating ionizing radiation sensor and the second passive integrating ionizing radiation sensor remain situated where the dosimetric data was integrated while reading-out.

  • Publication number: 20110080257
    Abstract: A system for providing a configurable display for a signal activated device may include a receiver, a memory, a processor, and a display. The receiver may be operative to receive a radio frequency signal. The memory may be coupled with the receiver, and may be operative to store an item. The processor may be coupled with the memory and may be operative to retrieve the item stored in the memory, in response to the activation signal received by the receiver. The processor may use a current induced in the receiver by the radio frequency signal to retrieve the item. The display may be coupled with the processor and may be operative to display the item retrieved from memory using the current induced in the receiver.
