Luxbright(LXB) has a disruptive nanomaterial X-ray tube w/ field emission,cold cathode, & electron beam focussing. Itenables high freq pulsing, high flux micro focused beam.LXB tech includes X-ray tubes that are related to an innovative electron emitter & an X-ray device using it, & bring Luxbrightto the forefront of X-ray imaging by offering low dose, low power consumption & fast switching.LXB has an electron guiding & receiving element, the “Eleenna” Embodiment, a micro focus beam with spatial steadiness &efficient internal cooling, LXB extends further with ultra high resolution X-ray imaging & to a broader market place & evenhigh voltage applications.LXB identified that in the security screening, threat detection & non-destructive inspection space there lies some problemsthat officials & device manufacturers are trying to solve:Image clarity & processing intelligence limits effectiveness of systems-Throughput of scanners slow because of need toseparate materials(liquids+tech)Bulkiness & size of scanners is non-portable, non-flexible, & ‘permanent’Radiation exposure to personnel a concernPower footprint of scanners prevents portable imagingExpensive components & slowly evolving technology result in inefficient spendingPostal risks are on the rise, as countries wish to have but cannot afford fast enough a 100% parcel scan solution, & mustresort to ‘spot checking’ for threats.Recent Terror has increased the need for addressing these and it is becoming more urgent & critical. There are more risks,more travellers, more post & more need for security radiology scanners.Is there any new technological solutions that may enable cost, speed, portability or safety increases? LXB aims to address tothese issues, innovating the core of radiology inspection: the x-ray source itself. ColdNano-X projects aims oncommercializing security solutions for portable bag scanning, post scanning, & 3d CT. It seeks tight integration with themedipix & other detectors.
