Title: System and method for the detection of abnormal radiation exposures using pulsed optically stimulated luminescence
Inventor: MCKEEVER STEPHEN W S
IPC: G01T1/29
Filed: 1999-06-09
Granted: 2009-02-03
Abstract: This invention relates generally to luminescence techniques for imaging radiation fields and, more specifically, to the use of experimental and mathematical methods to distinguish between dynamic irradiation and static - or other abnormal radiation - exposure conditions for applications in personnel and environmental radiation dosimetry, or related fields. In more particular, the instant invention provides a rapid and reliable method of detecting abnormal dosimeter exposur e conditions over a wide dynamic range of radiation doses, while avoiding significant background interference and stimulation light leakage. Additionally, the preferred embodiment of the instant invention uses a pulsed and synchronized luminescence detection scheme. Further, this invention teaches a complete method and system for abnormal exposure detection - including the use of a luminescent thin powder layer, the use of a periodic radiation absorbing filter, the pulsed stimulation and synchronized luminescence detection scheme, and the method of analyzing and interpreting the recorded images. Finally, the system provides a means of mathematically characterizing an ima ge as containing either a normal or abnormal exposure.

Abstract: A window assembly for buses and other vehicles in which a frameless window pane is mounted on a smaller mounting frame that provides a marginal portion of the window overhanging and concealing the backframe and bus wall, so that a row of such windows can be mounted in edge-to-edge relation for a streamlined "all glass" look. The mounting frame is Z-shaped in cross-section and joined to the window pane by an adhesive joint formed by double-sided adhesive tape, and the assembly has an egress frame that is hinged along the top to the backframe and secured by quick-release fasteners to the mounting frame. An alternative embodiment has an insulated glass construction in which a laminated pane smaller than the outer window pane is adhesively secured to the inside of the latter by a spacer that seals the insulating air space and supports the laminated pane. The glass mounting frame covers the edges of the laminated pane in the window assembly, and a support gasket is positioned around the laminated pane within the mounting frame to limit displacement of the laminated pane.

Filed: 2001-08-27
Granted: 2003-11-04
Abstract: The invention is a label gun having a front handle with a curved top surface, the rear portion of the curved surface having a high coefficient of friction. When the front handle is pulled back, the rear portion of the curved surface comes in contact with the backing paper, thereby pulling the labels towards the dispenser. A threaded screw may be used to vary the spring compression for the front handle, thereby varying the distance over which a label is dispensed, and hence being suitable for variously sized labels. The label gun also includes a plurality of elongated, flexible fingers adjacent to the dispenser, which provide even pressure to a label when attaching it to a curved or irregular surface.

Abstract: The present invention provides for an expandable stent for use in an artery or other vessel of a human body. The stent structure maintains the patency of the vessel within which the stent is expanded radially outward. One embodiment of the present invention is a stent having a multiplicity of frames joined together by at least two undulating longitudinal structures which can readily change their length in the longitudinal direction so as to provide increased longitudinal flexibility for the stent for easy passage through and placement within a curved vessel such as a coronary artery. The stent is an embodiment of the present invention having frames joined with longitudinal structures and formed from a single, thin- walled piece of metal by laser cutting or chemical etching. Because the stent is fabricated from a single piece of metal, it provides a multiplicity of closed perimeter cells that are formed as a continuous metal structure.

Granted: 2005-08-02
Abstract: An intake system in a V-type 4-stroke engine for an outboard engine system is provided. A crankshaft of the engine is disposed vertically, and heads of left and right banks are disposed to face rearwards. The engine is covered with an engine hood. In the intake system, an intake air inlet is provided in an upper portion of a longitudinally flat intake air dispensing box disposed between the left and right banks and a rear wall of the engine hood, and leads to an intake passageway in a throttle body. The inside of the intake air dispensing box is divided by a partition wall into first and second dispensing chambers communicating with the intake air inlet and extending longitudinally. An on-off valve is mounted on the partition wall and is capable of bringing the first and second dispensing chambers into and out of communication with each other. Intake ports are provided in the left and right banks to communicate with the first and second dispensing chambers, respectively. Thus, it is possible to provide an intake system for a V-type 4-stroke engine in an outboard engine system, in which the air-charging characteristic can be changed in accordance with the operation state of the engine, while avoiding an increase in size of the engine hood.
