Detector system for traffic lanes
TLDR
In this article, the authors propose a mobile detecting apparatus which can include the ability to transmit data to and receive instructions from a remote location, detect multiple objects (e.g. stacked or side by side containers or cargo), and provide efficient traffic flow.Abstract:

Relocatable X-ray imaging system and method for inspecting commercial vehicles and cargo containers
TL;DR: A readily relocatable X-ray imaging system for inspecting the contents of vehicles and containers, and a method for using the same is described in this paper, where the system is relatively small in size, and is used for inspecting commercial vehicles, cargo containers and other large objects.
Patent
Detection of nuclear materials
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for detecting Special Nuclear Materials (SNM) or Radiological dispersion Devices (RDD) is proposed, which conveying an object along a predetermined path, imaging a distribution of radioactive sources associated with the object as it passes along said path, determining the presence and location of one or both of an RDD or SNM radioactive source within the object.
Patent
Composite gamma-neutron detection system
TL;DR: In this article, a gamma-neutron detector based on mixtures of thermal neutron absorbers that produce heavy-particle emission following thermal capture is presented, which can be used in several scanning configurations including portal, drivethrough, drive-by, handheld and backpack.
Patent
Compact mobile cargo scanning system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a self-contained mobile inspection system and method and, more specifically, improved methods and systems for detecting materials concealed within a wide variety of receptacles and/or cargo containers.
Patent
X-ray inspection system that integrates manifest data with imaging/detection processing
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present systems and methods for integrating manifest data for cargo and light vehicles with their X-ray images generated during scanning, which helps the security personnel to quickly determine the contents of cargo.

Single beam photoneutron probe and x-ray imaging system for contraband detection and identification
TL;DR: An inspection system for detecting contraband in cargo containers, vehicles, rail cars, etc having an Xray source and X-ray imaging capability is described in this paper, where a beam converter plate is placed in front of the x-ray beam, converting the beam to a neutron beam.
Patent
Straddle inspection system
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a radiographic inspection apparatus for large containers, vehicles and structures having a movable frame which can straddle the container or object being inspected, and the source or sources and detectors are moved along the length of a container while radiographic image data is being sequentially recorded.
Patent
Relocatable X-ray imaging system and method for inspecting vehicles and containers
TL;DR: A readily relocatable X-ray imaging system for inspecting the contents of vehicles and containers, and a method for using the same is described in this article, where drivers and passengers of vehicles can readily step off of and onto the conveyor mechanism without the aid of steps, railings, and the like.
Patent
A radiographic examination system
TL;DR: In this article, a system for performing radiographic examination, particularly of large items such as international container units, is disclosed, formed as an installation comprising housings (25, 26) for respective linear accelerators, transmitting a beam of radiation across the path of a conveyor along which the units can be displaced continuously or incrementally.
Patent
System for inspecting the contents of a container
TL;DR: In this article, a beam of particles is generated by allowing the radiation to exit from an apparatus through a collimator proximal to the target, and the direction of the beam is determined by the point of radiation production and the corresponding array of transmission regions of the collimators.
