Development of test methods to rigorously, reproducibly, and accurately measure the detection performance of walk-through metal detectors

March 1, 2020

Author(s)

Nicholas G. Paulter Jr.

Walk-through metal detectors (WTMDs) are a primary tool for detection of concealed metal contraband and threat items on a person. They are found at almost all security checkpoint stations worldwide. It is important for security that the ability to assess

Best in Class: Leveraging Robot Performance Standards in Academic Competitions to Encourage Development and Dissemination

October 31, 2019

Author(s)

Raymond Sheh, Adam S. Jacoff

Standard test methods and academic competitions share much in common. We detail how we use standard test methods to promote education, research, development and dissemination among the academic community. Since 2014, we have used competitions and open

Discriminative potential of ion mobility spectrometry for the detection of fentanyl and fentanyl analogues relative to confounding environmental interferents

September 27, 2019

Author(s)

Thomas Forbes, Jeffrey Lawrence, Jennifer R. Verkouteren, R. Michael Verkouteren

The opioid crisis and emergence of fentanyl, fentanyl analogues, and other synthetic opioids has highlighted the need for sensitive and robust detection for interdiction at screening points, notably vehicles at border crossings and packages at postal

Interoperability of real-time public safety data: Challenges and possible future states

June 19, 2019

Author(s)

Britta M. Voss, Eric W. Anderson

The proliferation of advanced data sharing technologies and the emergence of a national public safety broadband network (NPSBN) are revolutionizing the communications capabilities of first responders in the United States. Fire departments, law enforcement

Advances in Age-Dating of Individual Uranium Particles by Large Geometry Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry

June 10, 2019

Author(s)

Christopher Szakal, David S. Simons, John D. Fassett, Albert J. Fahey

We present the ability to conduct single micrometer-sized uranium particle age-dating measurements on particles that are younger, smaller, and less enriched in 235U content than previously thought to be possible. Specifically, we use large geometry

Spherical Test Objects for Hand-held Metal Detector Characterization

September 12, 2018

Author(s)

Nicholas G. Paulter Jr., Donald R. Larson, John A. Ely

Measuring the detection performance of metal detectors (hand-worn, hand-held, and walk-through models) is based on the observation of an alarm indication (light, sound, vibration) given by the metal detector when a threat or test object is present. These

Walk-through Metal Detector Testing and the Need to Emulate Natural Body Motion

July 5, 2018

Author(s)

Nicholas G. Paulter Jr., Donald R. Larson, Nicklaus F. Troje

The effect of motion through the portal of a walk-through metal detector (WTMD) has often been considered to contribute to the uncertainty in detecting threat objects being carried through the WTMD. However, typical metrological testing uses a robotic
