Filed:

Oct 10, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/545166

Inventors:

Arkady Mikhail Teslyar - Newton MA, US
Joseph Parisi - Armonk NY, US
John J. Reilly - Waltham MA, US

Assignee:

L-3 Communications Security and Detection Systems, Inc. - Woburn MA

International Classification:

G01N 23/04

US Classification:

378 57, 378208

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for inspecting items for the presence of contraband. Trays may be used to hold items as they move through an inspection station. After use, the trays may be mechanically conveyed back to an entry region of the inspection station so that the trays may be used to move other items. Mechanically conveying the trays may enable increased throughput for inspection stations. A tray return may be constructed from multiple modules positioned to the side of an inspection machine. In use at an airport or other similar facility, the tray return may face a passenger use area at an inspection station. Passengers exiting the inspection station may place trays in the tray return. Passengers entering the inspection station may remove a tray from an end of the tray return at an entrance of the inspection station.

International Classification:

G01V 5/00

US Classification:

378 57

Abstract:

Some embodiments of the invention provide a mobile cargo inspection system mounted on a vehicle chassis type which does not include rails that extend from near the front of the vehicle to near the back. As such, detection components may be placed between the front and rear axles of the vehicle without penetrating radiation having to pass through a chassis rail before reaching the cargo to be inspected. As a result, the weight of the vehicle-mounted cargo inspection system may be more evenly distributed from the front of the vehicle to the back, and from one side of the vehicle to the other, thus making the system easier to operate, safer, and less costly to maintain than conventional systems.
