CEBAF Partner Wins R&D 100 Award
In conjuction with CEBAF and NASA, Digiray Corporation, of San Ramon, CA,
was awarded the R&D 100 Award for work on the reverse geometry x-ray
miniprobe (RGM). The transportable system for realtime x-ray imaging is
being used to find cracks and corrosion in oil refinery piping. It can
locate and measure very small features anywhere on or within the object
being examined.
"We are happy to have objective proof to the usefulness of our efforts,"
says Stan Majewski, staff scientist in charge of the detector group. The
group developed the miniprobe through expertise obtained while developing
detector technology for the CEBAF experimental program. The miniprobe is
composed of a scintillator, light guide and photo detector.
The RGM relies on reverse geometry, which changes the relationship of the
x-ray source to the object being x-rayed and eliminates the need for
precise alignment. The views delivered are sent directly from detector to
computer.

Fall Captain's Choice Golf Tourney Results
Uncertain weather departed and the sun shined, as did the players, in
CEBAF's First Fall Captain's Choice Golf Tournament. Forty-four people
turned out to enjoy a lovely day in the sun and put on their best
performance. It was a close match with the team of Mike O'Sullivan, Mark
Cooper, Bob Gravina, and Mark Geeselin taking the match with a 5 under par
65. Second place went to the team of Omar Garza, Harold Davis, Mike Memory,
and Eric Woodworth with a 1 under par 69.
Thanks to our prize sponsor, Harold Davis of Phillip Morris USA, many
people left with wonderful prizes. Everyone who participated received a
sport duffel bag stuffed with lots of goodies. In addition, the company
donated several major prizes, including golf bags, travel bags, shirts,
putters, umbrellas, and stadium blankets, as well as dozens of golf balls.
Here are some of the winners:
Longest drive on hole 1, Mark Geeselin;
- Longest drive on hole 17, Eric Woodworth;
- Closest to the pin on hole 8, Mark Waite;
- Closest to the pin on hole 12, Buddy Carlton;
- Closest to the pin on hole 18, Robert Casalino with
a tee shot just 2 feet 6 inches from the hole.
Keep your eyes open for the Second Annual Spring Golf Fling already in the
planning. Speaking of planning, the CRC would like to thank Julie Oyer,
Eric Woodworth, and Mike Zarecky for all their efforts to make this happen.
