Abstract: An X-ray inspection system for scanning objects is provided. The system includes a stationary X-ray source made of one or more linear modules positioned around a scanning volume, and defining sparsely positioned multiple stationary X-ray source points from which X-rays can be directed through the scanning volume. An X-ray detector array extends around the scanning volume and is arranged to detect X-rays from the source points which have passed through the scanning volume. A conveyor is arranged to convey the objects through the scanning volume and at least one processor processes the detected X-rays to produce three dimensional images of the items.

Abstract: The application discloses systems and methods for X-ray scanning for identifying material composition of an object being scanned. The system includes at least one X-ray source for projecting an X-ray beam on the object, where at least a portion of the projected X-ray beam is transmitted through the object, and an array of detectors for measuring energy spectra of the transmitted X-rays.

Abstract: The present specification discloses a high power continuous X-ray source having a rotating target assembly that is cooled by circulation of a liquid material in contact with the target assembly, whereby the target assembly has a front surface being impinged by electrons and a mechanism for rotating the target assembly. The cooling liquid is always in contact with at least one surface of the target for dissipating the heat generated by the energy deposited by the stream of electrons, thereby lowering the temperature of the target to allow for continuous operation.
