Abstract: A two-dimensional imaging system and a two-dimensional or three-dimensional optical tomographic mapping system, each employing gas scintillation induced by ionizing radiation, i.e., radioluminescence, and corresponding methods, are disclosed. The systems may employ one or more cameras and corresponding UV filters (potentially solar blind filters) for imaging a radioluminescent scene. For two-dimensional or three-dimensional mapping, the resultant UV images are spatially registered with one another and then reconstructed to form a three-dimensional tomographic map of the ionizing radiation. The two-dimensional map is a plane of the three-dimensional map. The UV images may be spatially registered by using a reference source, optionally, a calibrated reference source allowing dosimetry calculations for the ionizing radiation. Molecular nitrogen is the primary candidate for the radioluminescent gas, though a controlled ambient in a chamber of nitric oxide, argon, krypton, or xenon may be employed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a three-dimensional representation of a surface using frustrated total internal reflection. The system may obtain a two-dimensional image of an object in close proximity to an imaging surface. The intensity of the electromagnetic radiation received for individual points on the object may be determined. The system may determine a distance between the imaging surface and the object at each of the individual points based on a correlation between the electromagnetic radiation transmitted towards the imaging surface and the electromagnetic radiation reflected from the imaging surface. The determined intensity of the electromagnetic radiation may indicate the electromagnetic radiation reflected from the imaging surface. A three-dimensional representation of the object may be generated based on the two-dimensional image and/or the determined distances between the imaging surface and the object at each of the individual points.

Abstract: A radiation field is detected or imaged using one or more junction devices in which a two-dimensional conductor layer is capacitively coupled to a semiconductor absorber layer. In the junction devices, pixel-level amplification and read-out are accomplished through the photogating of the devices by absorption within the absorber layer while it is in a state of deep depletion. When the two-dimensional conductor is graphene, we refer to a device operating in that manner as a deeply depleted graphene-oxide-semiconductor (D2GOS) detector.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved hybrid motor starter that extends the expected life of the main motor contacts of a standard contactor by reducing arcing during opening and closing of the main motor contacts and permits the use of physically smaller solid state switching devices and secondary contacts that have electrical ratings significantly lower than the standard contactor. The use of smaller solid state switching device and secondary contacts that have lower electrical ratings is permitted by minimizing the time at which these devices are exposed to full motor currents.
