Material identification system

A method and apparatus for identifying a material in an object. An image of the object generated from energy passing through the object is obtained by a computer system. The computer system estimates attenuations for pixels in a sensor system from the image of the object to form estimated attenuations. The estimated attenuations represent a loss of the energy that occurs from the energy passing through the object. The computer system also identifies the material in the object using the estimated attenuations and known attenuation information for identifying the material in the object.

Identification and system parameter estimation methods for a Pyrofusion neutron source - 372

Pyrofusion sources are compact, low power systems which are capable of producing short intense pulses of neutrons from D-D fusion reactions. A model structure has been derived from the underlying physics principles and it is shown that the dominant non-linear dynamics pose significant challenges to the system control. This paper presents the methods under development to construct, estimate and analyse nonlinear grey-box models of Pyrofusion systems from measured data. The methods have been trialled on data sets obtained from the publications of previous Pyrofusion research groups. The results indicate the promising potential application of these methods to the system identification of profusion device characteristics to support model verification, pulse characterisation and prediction of operational capabilities. The identified models are shown to exhibit satisfactory analogous cause-and-effect behaviour. (authors)
