A direction finding radiation detector for detecting the direction of incidence of radioactive rays, comprising: a plurality of scintillators (41, 42, 43) (101, 102, 103) made of the same material, being arranged to overlap circumferentially at least in part so that they are shadowed by each other from radioactive rays incident in circumferential directions and so that light emitted from one of the scintillators is not incident on the other scintillators; and photoreceptor devices (51, 52, 53) (111, 112, 113) having light receiving surfaces optically coupled to the respective scintillators, wherein a combination of proportions of radioactive rays incident directly on the respective scintillators and radioactive rays incident indirectly thereon, being shadowed by the other scintillators, varies with the direction of incidence circumferentially. This achieves weight saving of the detector, improves the detection efficiency of the radioactive rays, elaborates detection information through measurements in half the circumferential directions or all the circumferential directions, and simplifies setting for improved operability.       Recently Added Patents Robotic toy caterpillar Partial plating method, a laser plating device, and a plated material Providing local access to managed content High-security enclosure Systems and methods to provide a product to a customer before a final transaction term value is established Volatile distillate by-product of mint oil that promotes absorption and/or bioavailability of compounds of bio-medical and nutritional interest Methods of stimulating liquid-sensitive subterranean formations   Randomly Featured Patents Articulated ribbon-guiding structure Method and apparatus for improving the accuracy of a tape servo track seek algorithm by using longitudinally correlated waveforms of lateral tape movement unique to each tape cassette Method and apparatus for consolidating software module linkage information used for starting a multi-module program Combustion chamber Optical waveguide device, variable optical attenuator, and optical switch System and method for configuring a microcontroller clock system Field-assembled raceway forming member Onsite temporary fall protection system Patter correlation type focus detecting method and focus detecting apparatus Emergency escape door © 2006-2008 PatentGenius.
