Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100112355Aircraft Transparency - A hybrid polymeric aircraft transparency is disclosed. The transparency, e.g., window, is easier to maintain because scratches can be polished out of the surface. Further, the transparency is lighter in weight and relatively tough because it is constructed of polycarbonate layers instead of acrylics. The transparency is constructed using injection-compression-molding techniques.05-06-2010

20080241041Nano-scale metal oxyhalide and oxysulfide scintillation materials and methods for making same - Crystalline scintillator materials comprising nano-scale particles of metal oxides, metal oxyhalides and metal oxysulfides are provided. The nano-scale particles are less than 100 nm in size. Methods are provided for preparing the particles. In one method, used to form oxyhalides and oxysulfides, metal salts are dissolved in water, and then precipitated out as fine particles using an aqueous base. After the particles are separated from the solution, they are annealed under a flow of a water saturated hydrogen anion gas, such as HCl or H10-02-2008

20100230603INTEGRATED NEUTRON-GAMMA RADIATION DETECTOR WITH OPTICAL WAVEGUIDE AND NEUTRON SCINTILLATING MATERIAL - A radiation detector includes a neutron sensing element having a neutron scintillating material at least partially surrounded by an optical waveguide material; and a photosensing element optically coupled to the neutron sensing element. The photons emitted from the neutron sensing element are collected and channeled through the optical waveguide material and into the photosensing element.09-16-2010
20100276602RADIATION DETECTOR WITH OPTICAL WAVEGUIDE AND NEUTRON SCINTILLATING MATERIAL - A radiation detector includes a neutron sensing element comprising a neutron scintillating composite material that emits a first photon having a first wavelength and an optical waveguide material having a wavelength-shifting dopant dispersed therein that absorbs the first photon emitted by the neutron scintillating composite material and emits a second photon having a second, different wavelength, and a functionalized reflective layer at an interface between the neutron scintillating composite material and the optical waveguide material. The functionalized reflective layer allows the first photon emitted by the neutron scintillating composite material to pass through and into the optical waveguide material, but prevents the second photon emitted by the optical waveguide material from passing through and into the neutron scintillating composite material. The photons emitted from the neutron sensing element are collected and channeled through the optical waveguide material and into a photosensing element optically coupled to the neutron sensing element.11-04-2010
20110049697ELECTRONIC PACKAGE SYSTEM - Disclosed herein is an electronic package system utilizing a module having a liquid contact material to prevent mechanically and thermally induced strains in an electrical joint. The conductivity of the liquid contact material provides electrical communication between the required electronic components of the package system. The ability of the liquid contact material to flow prevents the creation of stresses and affords an electronic package design tolerant of small displacements or torsions. Thus, the liquid contact material enables a floating contact with high electrical reliability.03-03-2011
20110089332NEUTRON DETECTION SYSTEM - A neutron detection system comprising a radiation portal monitor is disclosed. The radiation portal monitor includes a neutron moderator sheet and a neutron-sensing panel and is configured to receive incoming neutrons through a neutron collection portal area. The neutron-sensing panel comprises a neutron-sensing material optically coupled to a plurality of optical fibers such that the neutron moderator sheet and the neutron-sensing panel are disposed substantially parallel to the neutron collection portal area.04-21-2011
20110100439RADIOISOTOPE POWER SOURCE - A radioisotope power sources that includes radioisotope nanoparticles and scintillator materials. An embodiment of the radioisotope power source includes radioisotope nanoparticles suspended within a polycrystalline scintillator; additional polycrystalline scintillator at least partially surrounding the polycrystalline scintillator with the radioisotope nanoparticles; and a photovoltaic device in light communication with the surrounding polycrystalline scintillator. A system that employs the radioisotope power source and a method of generating an electrical current are also disclosed. The present invention has been described in terms of specific embodiment(s), and it is recognized that equivalents, alternatives, and modifications, aside from those expressly stated, are possible and within the scope of the appending claims.05-05-2011
