摘要： The present invention relates to the method to identify the source of a signature signal by processing sparse digital data collected by a sensor system in a laboratory, field, or other application. The invention specifically addresses weak, obscured, or partially sampled signatures collected by a sensor system. The method takes advantage of all sources of data using an innovative method that uses Bayes Theorem for performing probability arithmetic and statistical inference. The method requires an exclusive and exhaustive library of candidate signatures. The method finds the most likely signature candidate from the library that has the highest likelihood of being responsible for the measured signal. In addition, the method can work with mixtures of library candidates to find the most likely mixture that explain the data. The method is applicable to a variety of sensor systems that collect and digitize data as signal strength (ordinate) versus measurement attribute (abscissa).

摘要： A neutron detector, and method for fabricating same, having an active layer comprised of organic and inorganic materials such as polymers and/or small molecules. These materials function as a semiconductor host matrix that transports carriers excited by neutron absorption. The active layer is comprised of host semiconductor materials, composites of the host semiconductor materials with other polymers molecules, and particles, or multi-layer structures of the host semiconductor materials with other materials. The host semiconductor materials include in their molecular structure neutron capturing atoms such as 10B, 6Li, 157Gd, 235U, 239Pu, 51V, and 103Rh, or alternatively are blended with molecules or particles that contain the above atoms in addition to electron accepting molecules or particles. Using these materials allows for the simplified fabrication of inexpensive, large area, relatively lightweight, and flexible neutron detectors via film casting from solution, thermal evaporation, inkjet printing, and film laminate, or film extrusion.
