Abstract: The present specification discloses a high speed scanning system for scanning cargo carried by rail. The system uses of a two-dimensional X-ray sensor array with, in one embodiment, a cone-beam X-ray geometry. The pulse rate of X-ray source is modulated based on the speed of the moving cargo to allow a distance travelled by the cargo between X-ray pulses to be equal to the width of the detector, for a single energy source, and to half the width of the detector for a dual energy source. This ensures precise timing between the X-ray exposure and the speed of the passing object, and thus accurate scanning of cargo even at high speeds.

Abstract: The present specification discloses a covet mobile inspection vehicle with a backscatter X-ray scanning system that has an X-ray source and detectors for obtaining a radiographic image of an object outside the vehicle. The systems preferably include at least one sensor for determining a distance front at least one of the detectors to points on the surface of the object being scanned, a processor for processing the obtained radiographic image by using the determined distance of the object to obtain an atomic number of each material contained in the object, and one or more sensors to obtain surveillance data from a predefined area surrounding the vehicle.

Abstract: The present specification discloses methods and systems for automatically processing an electronic data structure by receiving the electronic data structure that has categories associated therewith, determining, for a first subset of the categories, to automatically update a first set of states associated with the electronic data structure without routing the electronic data structure to a stakeholder, and determining, for a second subset of the categories, to route the electronic data structure to at least one stakeholder. After routing a portion of the electronic data structure to at least one stakeholder and receiving input from that stakeholder, a second set of states is updated based upon the received input and data is generated that is visually representative of each of the first set of states and second set of states.

Abstract: The present specification describes a system for eliminating X-ray crosstalk between a plurality of X-ray scanning systems and passive radiation detectors. The system includes a frequency generator for generating a common operational frequency, a high-energy X-ray source or scanning system coupled with the frequency generator for receiving the common operational frequency and configured to modify the pulse repetition frequency of the high-energy X-ray source or scanning system in order to synchronize with the common operational frequency and a low-energy X-ray scanning system and/or passive radiation detection system coupled with the frequency generator for receiving the common operational frequency and having a processing module configured to remove data associated with the common operational frequency at an instance of time if the high-energy X-ray source or scanning system has emitted X-rays at the instance of time.

Abstract: The present specification describes a compact, hand-held probe or device that uses the principle of X-ray backscatter to provide immediate feedback to an operator about the presence of scattering and absorbing materials, items or objects behind concealing barriers irradiated by ionizing radiation, such as X-rays. Feedback is provided in the form of a changing audible tone whereby the pitch or frequency of the tone varies depending on the type of scattering material, item or object. Additionally or alternatively, the operator obtains a visual scan image on a screen by scanning the beam around a suspect area or anomaly.

Abstract: The present specification relates to a method for enabling an operator to perform visual layer separation, the method including: retrieving at least one X-ray scan image from a memory in data communication with an inspection system, wherein the image comprises a first area of pixels representative of a target object obscured by a clutter object and a second area of pixels representative of the clutter object; receiving a selection of the pixels representative of the first area; receiving a selection of the pixels representative of the second area; determining if the selected second area meets a predefined quality threshold; if the selected second area meets the predefined quality threshold, generating a modified at least one X-ray image; and if the selected second area does not meet the predefined quality threshold, prompting the operator to select a different second area of pixels representative of the clutter object.
