Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for XBRL tag suggestion and validation. In some embodiments, the method includes the steps of: receiving an XBRL document associated with one or more assigned XBRL tags; analyzing the XBRL document using a trained machine learning model to generate one or more suggested XBRL tags and determine one or more corresponding confidence values; comparing the one or more assigned XBRL tags with the one or more suggested XBRL tags to generate comparison results; and determining a tag confidence value associated with each assigned XBRL tag of the one or more assigned XBRL tags based on the comparison results.

Abstract: The present specification discloses methods for inspecting an object. The method includes scanning an object in a two-step process. In the primary scan, a truck or cargo container (container) is completely scanned with a fan beam radiation, the transmitted radiation is measured with an array of detectors, and the transmission information and optionally the fission signatures are analyzed to determine the presence of high-density, high-Z and fissionable materials. If the container alarms in one or more areas, the areas are subjected to a secondary scan. This is done by precisely repositioning the container to the location of the suspect areas, adjusting the scanning system to focus on the suspect areas, performing a stationary irradiation of the areas, and analyzing the measured feature signatures to clear or confirm the presence of SNM.

Abstract: A package for a medical device includes a blister having a base and a plurality of walls extending from the base with the base and the walls defining a cavity for receiving the medical device. The blister includes a first thermoplastic polyurethane or a combination of the first thermoplastic polyurethane and polyethylene terephthalate glycol. The package also includes a lid disposed on the blister and at least partially covering the cavity. The lid has outer and inner surfaces and includes a high density polyethylene. The package further includes an insert disposed on and in direct contact with the inner surface of the lid and facing the cavity. The insert includes a second thermoplastic polyurethane for increasing puncture resistance of the lid from the medical device.

Abstract: The present invention provides a gamma-neutron detector based on mixtures of thermal neutron absorbers that produce heavy-particle emission following thermal capture. In one configuration, B-10 based detector is used in a parallel electrode plate geometry that integrates neutron moderating sheets, such as polyethylene, on the back of the electrode plates to thermalize the neutrons and then detect them with high efficiency. The moderator can also be replaced with plastic scintillator sheets viewed with a large area photomultiplier tube to detect gamma-rays as well. The detector can be used in several scanning configurations including portal, drive-through, drive-by, handheld and backpack, etc.

Abstract: This disclosure provides an insulating member for covering a conduit in a clean room. The insulating member typically has a length and defines a cavity extending along the length. The cavity is sized and shaped to receive the conduit. The insulating member typically includes an innermost layer that may be a closed cell fluoropolymer foam and is disposed to contact the conduit. The insulating member also typically includes an outermost layer that is disposed on the innermost layer and that may be a second fluoropolymer.

Abstract: The present specification discloses a system for detecting nuclear material based on at least one source of probing radiation and the radiation signatures generated from interrogating an object under inspection. In addition, the present specification describes a threshold-activation detector capable of detecting prompt neutrons, via the activation, after the source's blinding radiation has stopped. The threshold-activation detector can be manufactured from liquid fluorocarbons that allow for the detection of beta radiation and gamma rays.
