Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Methods for analytic reconstruction for mult-source inverse geometry CT." This patent discloses methods for reconstructing x-ray projection data acquired using a multi-source, inverse-geometry computed tomography (IGCT) scanner. The first method processes an IGCT sinogram by rebinning first in 'z' and then in "xy," applying feathering during the "xy" rebinning. This results in a multi-axial 3-generation sinogram, which can be further processed using a parallel derivative and/or Hilbert transform. Additionally, a TOM-window technique and a combined backprojection technique may be applied to produce a reconstructed volume. The second method processes an IGCT sinogram using parallel derivative and/or redundancy weighting, along with signum weighting, TOM-windowing, backprojection, and Hilbert Inversion to generate another reconstructed volume.
Another significant patent is "X-ray source and detector configuration for a non-translational x-ray diffraction system." This patent describes a system and method for scanning objects using a non-translational x-ray diffraction (XRD) system. The system includes a scanning area through which an object traverses and a distributed x-ray source with multiple focal spot locations. The x-ray source emits x-rays towards the object as parallel beams, while a stationary detector measures the coherent scatter spectra of the x-rays after they pass through the object. A data acquisition system is connected to the detector to generate XRD data and determine the material composition of the object.
