| 20090101673 | MOTORIZED EXTRUSION TOOL - A fluid extruding device is provided. In one embodiment, the fluid extruding device has a cartridge receiving aperture configured to receive a fluid cartridge with first and second cylindrical chambers. The fluid extruding device further includes an activation mechanism, a motor having a shaft, wherein the motor is configured to selectively rotate the shaft either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, and an elongated screw connected to the shaft of the motor. In one embodiment, a movable body engages the elongated screw, and is connected to a first piston and a second piston. The first piston has a first pushing plate configured to engage a back of the first cylindrical chamber of the fluid cartridge and the second piston has a second pushing plate configured to engage a back of the second cylindrical chamber of the fluid cartridge. | 04-23-2009 |

| 20090026781 | RADIATION DETECTION UNIT FOR MOUNTING A RADIATION SENSOR TO A CONTAINER CRANE - A radiation detection unit includes a housing and isolators unitarily constructed from mechanical energy absorbent material. The housing is attached rigidly to a structure and its major dimensions are selected to exceed corresponding major dimensions of a radiation sensor. The isolators have a body portion and projections extending outwardly therefrom. The body portion engages the radiation detection sensor proximal a respective one of its radiation collection end and its interface end. The projections are disposed intermediate the body portion and an interior surface of the housing and have a distal end contacting the interior surface to carry the radiation sensor in a three dimensional spaced apart relationship to the interior surface. The length of the projections is selected to attenuate substantially mechanical energy that is induced at the distal end and propagates along the length of each projection prior to the propagated energy being incident upon the body portion. | 01-29-2009 |

| 20090248365 | REAL TIME SYSTEM FOR MONITORING CONTAINERS FROM A QUAYSIDE CRANE - In a real time container monitoring system, a data collection computer is in communication with the control computer of a container crane. The electrical signal from each of the radiation detection units carried by the spreader of the container crane is applied to the data collection computer to store as digital data information commensurate with the electrical signal from each of the radiation detection units in response to the control signal being indicative that the container has been engaged by the twist locks. A data analysis computer is in network communication with the data collection computer to download the digital data from the data collection computer and analyze the digital data to determine whether the threat material is present in the container. | 10-01-2009 |

| 20100128852 | Detector Characterization and Calibration - Characterization, calibration and gain stabilization of gamma ray detectors are carried out using one or more spectral features that are present in the background radiation. Such a spectral feature may be the spectral peak associated with Potassium-40 nuclide. The disclosed methods, apparatus and computer program products enable uninterrupted operation of gamma ray detection systems, while eliminating the costs associated with the procurement and integration of external reference sources into these systems, and without compromising the sensitivity of the detection system. | 05-27-2010 |
