Sealable Microvalve That Can Be Repeatedly Opened and Sealed
ink;color: #0000FF;text-decoration: underline; } INV-1243 Background The typical structure for a MEMS microvalve includes an orifice and a moveable plate that can be actuated to press against the orifice. When the plate does not press against the orifice, fluid can flow through the orifice and therefore through the valve. When the plate is pressed...

Characterization of dielectric slabs attached to the body using focused millimeter waves
INV-16072 Background As people enter secure areas, it is important that they be scanned to ensure that they are not entering with weapons or explosives. In addition, airport departure gates, office buildings, stadiums and similar venues must have fast, accurate and non-intrusive means of detecting threats concealed against a highly conducting background...

Ultrasonics-based system for detection of metallic security threats containers on cargo
INV-15027 Description In prior-art, most security threat detection techniques/procedures use X-ray based detection systems. In general, X-rays are harmful and their prolonged exposure can have devastating effects. Moreover, X-ray based systems are not capable of providing information regarding thickness of the container as X-rays have limited...

On the move millimeter wave interrogation system with a hallway of multiple transmitters and receivers
INV-14050 Description The use of millimeter-wave imaging techniques/systems is well known in prior art. Current techniques/systems generally use portal configuration and/or monostatic radar technology. The images generated using such systems often have reconstructed artifacts, such as dihedral effects, misrepresenting sudden indentations and protrusions....
