R. Creighton Booth 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).

  • Method and system for dimensional and weight measurements of articles of manufacture by computerized tomography
    Patent number: 5091862
    Abstract: Tomographic imaging of an inanimate object in which a fan-shaped beam of radiation is generated and divided into fan ray elements which are directed through a planar section of the object and detected by a set of detectors. Each detector produces a signal representative of the intensity of the radiation of a detected fan ray element and selected coordinates defining a cross-sectional image of the object are determined from the intensity signals of the detectors. The coordinates are stored and displayed on a display device. The detectors include a scintillation crystal which is provided with a half-solid cylinder of lead disposed on a side of the crystal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 20, 1990
    Date of Patent: February 25, 1992
    Assignee: Bethlehem Steel Corporation
    Inventors: Carvel D. Hoffman, R. Creighton Booth, John C. Clymer, Richard J. Casler
