  • Patent number: 12019203
    Abstract: A device, a method, and a kit for screening items of baggage. The device comprising: an x-ray scanner, configured to scan an item of baggage using x-ray radiation, and generate therefrom data indicative of objects within the item of baggage; a second scanner configured to estimate a volume of the item of baggage; a third scanner, configured to estimate a physical dimension of at least one object within the item of baggage, wherein the third scanner uses non-ionising radiation; and a processor, configured to utilize the data indicative of objects within the item of baggage, the estimated volume, and the estimated physical dimension of at least one object within the item of baggage to generate a risk estimation for the item of baggage.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220365204
    Abstract: A system for stand-off screening of individuals and/or an item of baggage carried by an individual. The system including: a sensor array, the sensor array including: an optical sensor, configured to collect data indicative of a position of the individual and/or the presence and dimension of the item of baggage relative to the optical sensor; a first radar sensor, configured to collect data indicative of: properties of objects concealed under clothing worn by the individual and/or properties of one or more objects within the item of baggage; an acoustic sensor, configured to collect data indicative of: properties of objects concealed under clothing worn by the individual and/or properties of one or more objects within the item of baggage.

  • Publication number: 20190144937
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods of identifying the presence and relative abundance of a protein in or on a cell or population of cells, with the methods comprising applying to a population of cellular proteins a collection of Fab-phage particles that contain nucleic acid encoding at least one antibody Fab fragment, wherein each of the antibody Fab fragments has a known protein to which it will bind in a specific manner. After binding is allowed to occur, those Fab-phage not bound to targets are washed away and the remaining phage are propagated in bacteria before the nucleic acid within the Fab-phage is amplified and then sequenced to determine the polynucleotide sequences of the nucleic acid molecules from the Fab-phages that bound to the cellular proteins. The nucleotide sequences of the nucleic acid molecules from the Fab-phages correlate to the coding sequences of the antibody Fab fragments that are known to bind in a specific manner to a protein.

  • Publication number: 20170172731
    Abstract: A bio-compatible packaging for an optoelectronic device is presented, to essentially eliminate moisture ingress and corrosion of the internal electronics of the device after it is implanted for in-vivo use. In some implementations, the optoelectronic device includes an optoelectronic assembly that includes an electronic module, an optoelectronic module, a power source, configured to energize the electronic module and the optoelectronic module, and an electronic interconnect to provide electronic couplings between the electronic module, the optoelectronic module, and the power source. The device further includes a bio-compatible packaging, having a transparent front window and a transparent back window, the bio-compatible packaging configured to enable light to enter the optoelectronic device through the front window, propagate through the optoelectronic module, and leave the optoelectronic device through the back window, and to hermetically seal the optoelectronic assembly.
