System And Method Of Using Energy Correlated Timing Spectra To Locate Subsurface Objects

US Patent:
2020007, Mar 5, 2020
Filed:
Sep 5, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/561955
Inventors:
- Washington DC, US
STEPHEN A. PRIOR - AUBURN AL, US
ALEKSANDR KAVETSKIY - AUBURN AL, US
GALINA N. YAKUBOVA - AUBURN AL, US
International Classification:
G01N 23/04
G01T 1/29
G01V 5/10
Abstract:
Multiple tagged neutrons are emitted from an associated particle imaging neutron generator. The tagged neutrons penetrate a target material and interact with the target material nucleus—which emits nucleus-specific gamma rays. A gamma ray detector detects all gamma rays—including the nucleus-specific gamma rays. An alpha-gamma timing spectrum is constructed for all detected gamma rays. For a specific energy level (MeV) corresponding with the target material nucleus, a peak in the alpha gamma timing spectrum indicates the presence of the target material. Based on the peaking time of the gamma rays (due to tagged neutrons interaction with the target material nucleus) in the alpha-gamma timing spectrum for the specific energy level, the distance from the neutron generator to the target material can be calculated. The nucleus-specific gamma ray spectrum data can be effectively collimated by programming the system to detect the gamma rays in a time window corresponding to the peaking time.

Methods And Systems For Non-Invasive Measurement Of Soil Chlorine And/Or Nitrogen Content And For Detecting Sub-Surface Chlorine Or Nitrogen-Containing Objects

US Patent:
2020002, Jan 23, 2020
Filed:
Aug 27, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/552238
Inventors:
- Washington DC, US
STEPHEN A. PRIOR - AUBURN AL, US
ALEKSANDR G. KAVETSKIY - AUBURN AL, US
GALINA N. YAKUBOVA - AUBURN AL, US
International Classification:
G01N 23/22
G01N 33/24
G01V 5/00
Abstract:
The presence of chlorine and nitrogen are determined and measured using a non-invasive portable neutron-generating and gamma ray detecting system(s). Portable devices of the present invention can also be used to detect chlorine and/or nitrogen-containing underground objects rapidly and on-site. Devices and systems described herein can be operated remotely and pre-programmed with search patterns, guided by an operator remotely, or programmed to home in on high-chlorine and/or nitrogen concentration areas.

Methods And Systems For Non-Invasive Measurement Of Soil Chlorine And/Or Nitrogen Content And For Detecting Sub-Surface Chlorine Or Nitrogen-Containing Objects

US Patent:
2017030, Oct 26, 2017
Filed:

System And Method For Terminating Cover Crops Using Vehicle-Generated Heat

US Patent:
2016008, Mar 31, 2016
Filed:
Sep 30, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/501424
Inventors:
- Washington DC, US
Stephen A. Prior - Auburn AL, US
Corey M. Kichler - Auburn AL, US
International Classification:
A01B 49/02
A01B 39/06
Abstract:
A cover crop termination system uses heat from a vehicle's exhaust to terminate a cover crop. Preferably, the cover crop termination system is mounted on the front portion of a walk-behind tractor. As the tractor is propelled across a field of cover crops, heat from the vehicle's exhaust is directed to a perforated manifold positioned adjacent to the cover crop so that the exhaust heat terminates the cover crop. The exhaust heat may be supplemented by electrical heaters mounted adjacent to the perforated manifold.
