X-Ray Inspection Based On Scatter Detection

View page
US Patent:
7551715, Jun 23, 2009
Filed:
Oct 23, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/551991
Inventors:
Peter Rothschild - Boston MA, US
Jeffrey Schubert - Somerville MA, US
William J. Baukus - Nashua NH, US
Richard Schueller - Chelmsford MA, US
Joseph Callerame - Waltham MA, US
William Randall Cason - Tewksbury MA, US
Assignee:
American Science and Engineering, Inc. - Billerica MA
International Classification:
G01N 23/04
US Classification:
378 57, 378198
Abstract:
Systems and methods for inspecting an object with a scanned beam of penetrating radiation are disclosed. Scattered radiation from the beam is detected, in either the backward or forward direction. Characteristic values of the backscattered radiation are compared to expected reference values to characterize the object. Additionally, penetrating radiation transmitted through the inspected object may be combined with scatter information. In certain embodiments, the inspected field of view is less than 0. 1 steradians, and the detector is separate from the source of penetrating radiation and is disposed, with respect to the object, such as to subtend greater than 0. 5 steradians in the field of view of the object.

X-Ray Scatter And Transmission System With Coded Beams

View page
US Patent:
20020031202, Mar 14, 2002
Filed:
Jun 6, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/875793
Inventors:
Joseph Callerame - Lexington MA, US
William Adams - Powell OH, US
Lee Grodzins - Lexington MA, US
International Classification:
G01N023/04
US Classification:
378/057000, 378/149000, 378/086000, 378/002000
Abstract:
A system and method for inspecting an object with transmitted and/or scattered penetrating radiation using either a fan beam or multiple pencil beams while maintaining resolution comparable to that achievable using a single scannable pencil beam. The system and method provide for spatial resolution of transmitted radiation using a fan beam or multiple pencil beams and a nonsegmented detector.

Increased Detectability And Range For X-Ray Backscatter Imaging Systems

View page
US Patent:
20060245547, Nov 2, 2006
Filed:
Mar 21, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/386033
Inventors:
Joseph Callerame - Waltham MA, US
Richard Mastronardi - Medfield MA, US
International Classification:
G01N 23/201
G21K 1/04
US Classification:
378160000, 378087000
Abstract:
An inspection system based on penetrating radiation provides an option to significantly narrow the field of view of a scan. First and second primary limiting apertures are provided for interposition between a source of penetrating radiation and an inspected object. This allows for significantly increasing the flux of penetrating radiation on this narrowed region of interest, thereby advantageously improving detectability. Alternatively or in addition, an operator can use the higher flux to increase the distance from which an object can be imaged. Embodiments include both scatter and transmission systems that employ a pencil beam.

X-Ray Backscatter Inspection With Coincident Optical Beam

View page
US Patent:
20060245548, Nov 2, 2006
Filed:
Apr 21, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/409513
Inventors:
Joseph Callerame - Waltham MA, US
William Sapp - Melrose MA, US
Jeffrey Schubert - Somerville MA, US
Richard Schueller - Chelmsford MA, US
International Classification:
G01N 23/04
G01N 23/201
G21K 1/04
US Classification:
378160000, 378087000, 378057000
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods that permit an operator of a backscatter x-ray system to shine a search light on a closed container or vehicle, and then image the contents of that container in a region roughly corresponding to the area of the container covered by the search light. A display near the operator presents the backscatter image of the container contents.

X-Ray Inspection Using Wavelength-Shifting Fiber-Coupled Scintillation Detectors

View page
US Patent:
20130208857, Aug 15, 2013
Filed:
Feb 4, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/758189
Inventors:
AMERICAN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, INC. - , US
Joseph Callerame - Lexington MA, US
Dan-Cristian Dinca - Chelmsford MA, US
Rajen Sud - Burlington MA, US
Lee Grodzins - Lexington MA, US
Martin Rommel - Lexington MA, US
Peter Rothschild - Newton MA, US
Jeffrey Schubert - Somerville MA, US
Assignee:
AMERICAN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, INC. - Billerica MA
International Classification:
G01T 1/20
G01N 23/20
G01N 23/06
US Classification:
378 57, 250368, 250367, 250394, 378 86
Abstract:
A detector and methods for inspecting material on the basis of scintillator coupled by wavelength-shifting optical fiber to one or more photo-detectors, with a temporal integration of the photo-detector signal. An unpixelated volume of scintillation medium converts energy of incident penetrating radiation into scintillation light which is extracted from a scintillation light extraction region by a plurality of optical waveguides. This geometry provides for efficient and compact detectors, enabling hitherto unattainable geometries for backscatter detection and for energy discrimination of incident radiation. Additional energy-resolving transmission configurations are enabled as are skew- and misalignment compensation.

Method For Bonding Materials

View page
US Patent:
48952907, Jan 23, 1990
Filed:
Mar 3, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/837326
Inventors:
Clarence J. Dunnrowicz - Los Angeles CA
Joseph Callerame - Lexington MA
Assignee:
Raytheon Company - Lexington MA
International Classification:
B23K 2024
H01L 4122
US Classification:
228116
Abstract:
An ultrasonic transducer and its method of fabrication wherein bonding between an impedance matching layer on one side of a piezoelectric layer and a support layer on the other side of the piezoelectric material is made by providing onto each material a smooth, thin gold film on the smooth surfaces of the layers which are to be in contact with one another in the assembled transducer. The layers are bonded to each other by the gold films under moderate temperature and pressure to form the transducer. Sawing of the impedance matching and piezoelectric layers into a plurality of parallel transducers attached to the support layer forms an array.

Polymeric Piezoelectric Microprobe With Damper

View page
US Patent:
43161154, Feb 16, 1982
Filed:
Dec 3, 1979
Appl. No.:
6/099438
Inventors:
David T. Wilson - Billerica MA
Roger H. Tancrell - Cambridge MA
Joseph Callerame - Lexington MA
Assignee:
Raytheon Company - Lexington MA
International Classification:
H01L 4108
US Classification:
310327
Abstract:
A probe detects sonic energy in liquids and in materials containing liquids such as the flesh of living beings, the probe being particularly adapted for medical ultrasonics. The probe is constructed of materials having acoustic impedances substantially equal to that of water to maximize the transfer of sonic energy in a living being to an electric signal within the probe for accurate detection of high frequency pulses having a duration less than a microsecond. A piezoelectric polymer serves as the transducer and is mounted at the end of the probe housing between a thin metallic window which serves as one electrode, and a metallized rubber rod which serves as the second electrode and sonically insulates the transducer from the housing. An acoustically absorbent ring affixed to the perimeter of the face of the probe, and a flaring of the back end of the probe, reduce the diffraction and reflection of acoustic waves for improved accuracy in the measurement of submicrosecond pulses.
