Title: Innovations of James A Wurzbach
Introduction
James A Wurzbach is a notable inventor based in San Diego, California. He has made significant contributions to the field of technology, holding a total of nine patents. His work primarily focuses on advanced methods and systems for material profiling and non-contact inspection techniques.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "System and method for depth profiling by temporal and spatial range gating based on penetrating electromagnetic radiation." This invention discloses a method, apparatus, and system for profiling the material composition of a volume. A beam source directs a pulsed beam of electromagnetic energy into the volume, and a plurality of backscattered beams is received at a detector. These beams are generated from various depths within the volume in response to interactions with the directed pulsed beam. A processor performs range gating of the backscattered beams to obtain a depth profile of intensity and estimates the material composition at different depths.
Another significant patent is "Methods and apparatus for non-contact inspection of containers using multiple sensors." This invention involves an acoustic source that directs acoustic energy to ensonify a container. It includes a first sensor to detect acoustic energy affected by an object in the container without contacting it, a second sensor to confirm the presence of the object, and a processing module to analyze the detected acoustic energy to identify the object.
