Filed:

Jun 11, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/460509

Inventors:

John H. Huey - Chevy Chase MD, US
Stephen Wolff - San Diego CA, US

Assignee:

Quantum Magnetics, Inc. - San Diego CA

International Classification:

G08B019/00

US Classification:

340521, 340541, 340 512, 340 53, 340 532, 340 57

Abstract:

A combined systems user interface (CUI) may be configured with an advanced technology screening checkpoint (ATSC), which is a passenger-friendly, high performance system for screening passengers and carry-on items to detect assembled bombs, bomb components, metallic and non-metallic weapons, and other contraband items. The CUI may include a baggage, passenger, and secondary screening status regions. The baggage screening status region displays screening information generated by an explosives screening system and a baggage imaging system, while the passenger screening status region displays screening information generated by an explosives detection portal and a metal detection portal. In some implementations, a secondary screening status region displays screening information generated by a body scanning system and an enhanced explosives screening system.

Assignee:

Quantum Magnetics, Inc. - San Diego CA

International Classification:

G08B 13/18

US Classification:

340552, 340522, 378 8, 378 57, 378 86

Abstract:

An advanced technology screening checkpoint system includes a baggage screening zone, a passenger screening zone, and a secondary screening zone. The baggage screening zone may include an explosives scanning system and an imaging system, while the passenger screening zone may include an explosives detection portal and a self-divestment portal to show passengers what to divest prior to screening by a high sensitivity metal detection portal. In some implementations, a secondary screening zone includes a sealed-bottle scanning system, an enhanced explosives detection system, a weapons search routine, and a body scanning system. Centralized monitoring of screening results for individual detection and screening systems of the baggage, passenger, and secondary screening zones may be provided by a combined user interface (CUI).

International Classification:

H04B 900

US Classification:

250199

Abstract:

An optical communications system for coding, transmitting, receiving, and coding digital message signals is described. A beam from a coherent optical source, such as a laser, is transmitted through an aperture in which there is disposed a random phase screen, e. g. , ground glass. One or more isometric bar gratings containing the coded message data in a particular amplitude distribution pattern are disposed adjacent to the ground glass in the optical transmission path. The ground glass, phase screen, introduces a random coding to the message bit. At the receiver a plurality of point detectors sense the signals to facilitate subsequent decoding of the message.
