HIGH SENSITIVITY PIXEL DETECTOR FOR DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY

Not Available SECOTEC proposes to design specialized sensors capable of measuring the position of the rail fixtures and integrate those sensors with supporting hardware and software for a self-contained sled which can be towed on the rail and provide vertical and horizontal deviations to the fiducial line along the rail. Due to the extreme accuracy requirements, various measurement technologies, such as laser interferometry, will have to be advanced to provide a final product that satisfies all requirements. A fast accurate method of measuring that rail's five surfaces (top, east side, west side, bottom east, and bottom west) would significantly streamline HHSSTT operations, reduce costs, and provide the customer with the highest possible confidence in the test facility. The proposed rail monitoring system could be immediately applied to the Navy's SM-2 Direct Hit and SM-3 Programs, to measure the high speed rail sections and the pull-down profiles prior to each test to make sure it has not moved or been damaged in the previous test.
