Portable positional scanning lane

A positional lane scanner and method therefor includes a positional lane cargo scanning structure having a first frame portion, a second frame portion, and a top frame portion connected to define a passage lane for a cargo vessel. The first and second frame portions are located on opposite sides and cargo vessels pass therebetween. The first and second frame portions, or both, include a first housing portion and a scanning device mounted within the first housing portion. A lifting member is provided on the top frame portion facing outward, or if the lifting means is on a transport vehicle, such as a reach spreader, a pair of lifting beams may be arranged on the transport vehicle. The lift member removably connects with a boom portion of the transport vehicle for positioning and relocating the scanning structure to be disposed adjacent a cargo vessel lane.

Portable Luminescent Sensor Technologies for Economically Critical Metals

Presentation on the development of sensing materials and compact platforms for the photoluminescence-based detection of economically critical metals, including rare earth elements, cobalt, and aluminum. The important of detecting metals that interfere with critical metal processing, such as iron and aluminum, are also discussed. The presented results represent a significant step forward in reducing the economic and time costs associated with the characterization of metals during prospecting and downstream processing.
