摘要: Systems and methods for charged particle detection including statistical reconstruction of object volume scattering density profiles from charged particle tomographic data to determine the probability distribution of charged particle scattering using a statistical multiple scattering model and determine a substantially maximum likelihood estimate of object volume scattering density using expectation maximization (ML/EM) algorithm to reconstruct the object volume scattering density. The presence of and/or type of object occupying the volume of interest can be identified from the reconstructed volume scattering density profile. The charged particle tomographic data can be cosmic ray muon tomographic data from a muon tracker for scanning packages, containers, vehicles or cargo. The method can be implemented using a computer program which is executable on a computer.

摘要: Methods, apparatus and systems for detecting charged particles and obtaining tomography of a volume by measuring charged particles including measuring the momentum of a charged particle passing through a charged particle detector. Sets of position sensitive detectors measure scattering of the charged particle. The position sensitive detectors having sufficient mass to cause the charged particle passing through the position sensitive detectors to scatter in the position sensitive detectors. A controller can be adapted and arranged to receive scattering measurements of the charged particle from the charged particle detector, determine at least one trajectory of the charged particle from the measured scattering; and determine at least one momentum measurement of the charged particle from the at least one trajectory. The charged particle can be a cosmic ray-produced charged particle, such as a cosmic ray-produced muon. The position sensitive detectors can be drift cells, such as gas-filled drift tubes.

摘要: A portal monitoring system has a cosmic ray charged particle tracker with a plurality of drift cells. The drift cells, which can be for example aluminum drift tubes, can be arranged at least above and below a volume to be scanned to thereby track incoming and outgoing charged particles, such as cosmic ray muons, whilst also detecting gamma rays. The system can selectively detect devices or materials, such as iron, lead, gold and/or tungsten, occupying the volume from multiple scattering of the charged particles passing through the volume and can also detect any radioactive sources occupying the volume from gamma rays emitted therefrom. If necessary, the drift tubes can be sealed to eliminate the need for a gas handling system. The system can be employed to inspect occupied vehicles at border crossings for nuclear threat objects.

摘要: Systems and apparatuses for hanging articles while avoiding removal and/or damage to pre-installed supports and even surfaces are provided. In an embodiment, a device comprises a body configured to mechanically rest on or grip a portion of the pre-installed support, or even to be forcibly strapped to the pre-installed support. Additionally, a linking member, such as a clip, groove, channel, or hook, may be disposed along the body to join an article to the support. In practice, a plurality of devices may be applied to a variety of different types of head rails and other supports to join, for example, curtains to the head rail or other support, whether by forcibly gripping such curtains or supportively receiving a rod fitted with curtains.

摘要: A direct dental bridge, built in the mouth of a patient, comprising Zirconium oxide or Aluminium oxide reinforcement bars (19, 20) onto which the pontic of the bridge is assembled. The ceramic bars of the present direct dental bridge bond better to dental filling materials and dental bonding resins than metal bars, and are easier to use than fiber ribbons and resin bars. Also disclosed is a method of building a direct dental bridge further comprising the use of a dental material gingival wedge bonded on an abutment tooth, demale molds for surface veneers, malleable gingival veneers and occlusal/buccal surface veneers.

摘要: A reinforcement bar combination for a direct dental bridge, the reinforcement bar combination including: first and second elongate bars, each of the first and second elongate bars contacting a single occlusal preparation formed in a single abutment tooth and each of the first and second elongate bars having an end positioned on a central pad of a third elongate bar to form a reinforcement scaffold. The first elongate bar is a first elongate torque bar that is optionally bent. The second elongate bar is a second elongate torque bar that is optionally bent. The third elongate bar is a proximal bar including a central planar pad bound by a perimeter, a coronal facing surface and an apical facing surface, a first insertion arm extending in a mesial direction from the perimeter of the pad, a second insertion arm extending in a distal direction from the perimeter of the pad; a first vertical sidewall extending in a coronal direction from the coronal oriented surface of the pad; a second vertical sidewall extending in a coronal direction from the coronal oriented surface of the pad. A method of using of the reinforcement bar combination to produce a direct dental bridge is also described.
