Jan 30, 2002 Glenbrook Technologies Inc., a leading manufacturer and innovator of X-ray inspection systems, announced today that through the efforts of Mayor and Freeholder Frank Dreutzler and Morris County Administrator Jim Rosenberg, they are donating the use of their patented, mail X-ray screening technology to law enforcement agencies in Morris County, NJ.
Demonstrations were conducted today at Glenbrook's Applications Laboratory to the Mayor, Frank Dreutzler, County Administrator, Jim Rosenberg, Chief of Detectives, Joe Devine, Pat Minutillo of the Prosecutors Office, Lt.

Glenbrook demonstrated how this technology will help prepare Morris County for present and future mail threats. The meeting covered the state-of-the art in x-ray screening, and the various forms that mail threats can take. Actual mail bomb simulates were used to demonstrate the unique capabilities of the Glenbrook system.
Unlike many other X-ray systems in use today, Glenbrook's MXRA (Mail X-ray Analyzer) system has the unique capability of seeing elusive, low-density materials, such as plastics, granules, micro-electronic components and hair-thin wires, through envelopes and small parcels. (The enhanced sensitivity can permit reading of the embossed numbers on plastic cards)
The MXRA employs Glenbrook's patented X-ray camera technology and provides real-time video x-ray images via a convenient, desktop station. The MXRA is also extremely easy-to-use and weighs only 60 pounds. The system is unique because it delivers a level of detail and sensitivity never seen before in the security industry. The system's also has the ability to provide variable magnifications between 7X-40X. When combined with it's ultra-high sensitivity, it makes the MXRA, uniquely suited for mail-content analysis.
