A monitoring installation for containers and trucks is provided making detection of large items, particularly trucks, at minimal expense possible. An X-ray monitoring installation having low X-ray energy, permits detection of stolen passenger cars, is arranged on a monitoring path.

Monitoring installation for containers and trucks

An X-ray device for scanning objects moving on a conveyor path and for processing the detector signals acquired by the scan has a comparator for identifying faulty signals, the comparator being in a control chain for an image storage memory such that, in the event of a faulty detector signal, the contents of a memory row preceding the faulty detector signal are transferred into the memory row into which the faulty detector signal, if a correct signal, would have been stored. The system also includes a correction element for generating a reference signal at 100% radiation intensity in which the mean value of a number of measured signals is formed. The system also includes an element for reducing the amplitude of the useful signal during measurement in comparison to the amplitude allocated to a radiation intensity of 100%.

X-ray scanner & detector signal processing system

A baggage inspection system has a conveying path for moving articles to be inspected through an x-ray beam. The conveyor path is disposed between an x-ray source for generating the beam and a radiation detector. The radiation detector consists of a number of individual detectors, with the number of individual detectors per unit length being greater in a first region of the detector than in a second region thereof. The first region is disposed at the level of the conveying path for optimally displaying smaller articles transported by the conveyor path, while the second region is suited for display of larger articles.

Baggage inspection system

Device for producing X-ray pictures of bodies

An X-ray scanner for examining objects moved through an X-ray beam on a conveyor has a detector array disposed at the opposite side of the conveyor from the X-ray source and a pulse generator connected to the motor which drives the conveyor for generating a pulse trail dependent on the speed of the motor, and hence on the speed of the conveyor. The pulse generator is connected to a scanner for the detector array and controls the scan rate dependent upon the conveyor speed. The conveyor speed is controlled such that the quotient of the scan rate and the conveying speed is maintained constant in order to hold the imaging scale constant.

X-ray scanner

Method for examining the content of containers, which includes weighing the container, comparing the weight of the container with a total weight derived from the net weight of a given load and the product of the volume and the packing weight of the given load, transilluminating the container with a spatially limited high energy X-ray beam, moving the container relative to the X-ray, and determining and evaluating the distribution of the mass attenuation coefficient over at least one surface of the container, and an apparatus for carrying out the method.
