Patent ID: 8183538

Claim:
A sensor interface system for interfacing with a collection of one or more sensors that can sense chemical, biological, radiation, nuclear, and explosives (CBRNE) materials, the sensor interface system comprising: one or more digital and/or analog sensor interfaces for coupling with one or more sensors comprising: chemical sensors, biological sensors, radiation sensors, nuclear sensors, and explosives sensors; a processor, communicatively coupled with the one or more digital and/or analog sensor interfaces, configured for receiving and processing signals from the one or more digital and/or analog sensor interfaces, and when the one or more sensors include a radiation sensor and/or nuclear sensor, the processor further configured for differentiating between gamma pulses and neutron pulses, by: receiving a signal from an output of a neutron detector; analyzing a pulse shape of the signal; differentiating the pulse shape between gamma pulses and neutron pulses; and determining that the pulse shape of the signal is one of a gamma pulse and a neutron pulse.
