摘要:
An ion mobility spectrometer including an ion identifying unit, a detector in flow communication with the identifying unit, a gas inlet configured to provide gas carrying a sample of interest, a membrane substantially covering the first opening of the detector inlet, the membrane configured to capture the sample of interest on an exterior surface of the membrane, a heating device coupled to the membrane, the heating device configured to increase a temperature of the membrane to a temperature threshold level once the sample of interest is captured enabling molecules in the captured sample of interest to pass through the membrane and into the detector inlet, and a radiant heat source configured to apply radiant heat to the membrane to increase the temperature of the membrane to the temperature threshold level.
摘要:
A passenger scanning system includes a passenger screening area configured for a person to enter and a shield surrounding at least a portion of the passenger screening area. The shield is configured to reduce a radio frequency interference within the passenger screening area. The passenger scanning system also includes one or more sensors positioned in the passenger screening area at a height configured to be proximate one or more of an abdominal region, a groin region, and a pelvic region of the entered person. The sensors are configured to generate a signal in response to a target substance located in the one or more of the abdominal region, the groin region, and the pelvic region.
