WKU Professor Develops Bomb Software

A Western Kentucky University math professor has been working with a Bowling Green technology company to develop a software product that he hopes will help detect explosives in airports, drugs and contraband and help protect the military from explosive devices.

Professor Bruce Kessler developed an algorithm that programmers and software developers at Hitcents.com converted into programming languages that makes the software accessible through any computer environment.

Peaklet Analysis software analyzes data collected by low-level radiation generated when items such as luggage or explosives are scanned.

The university says WKU Research Foundation and Hitcents representatives are meeting next month with a security screening equipment manufacturer.
