ACCOMPLISHMENTS
- Developed scatter-rejection techniques
that resulted in 98 percent improvement in contrast and 40 percent
- Developed prototype
detector and integrated it into a real-time radiography system for
observing materials while stressed in a load frame
|
COMMERCIALIZATION
- Detector technology incorporated
into the KonoscopeTM volumetric x-ray computed tomography systems
- KonoscopeTM sales have reached almost
$2,500,000. These are to Wright Patterson Air Force Base and the University
of Utah
|
GOVERNMENT/SCIENCEAPPLICATIONS
- Useful in development of advanced
composite materials and in rapid prototyping/reverse engineering
- For use in dimensioning of complex
parts
