Silent Talker Lie Detector Silent Talker Lie Detector The Silent Talker Psychological Profiler is a camera system which observes and analyses non-verbal behaviour in the form of micro-gestures while a subject is being interviewed, for the claimed purpose of credibility assessment. It is grounded in the psychological theory that non-verbal behaviour is modified by a number of influences when a person is being deceptive. These include arousal (in particular stress), cognitive load, duping delight, and behaviour control. Silent Talker was invented between 2000 and 2002 by a team at Manchester Metropolitan University, Zuhair Bandar, James O'Shea, David McLean and Janet Rothwell. Following its invention,
Pilatus (detector) Pilatus (detector) Pilatus is the name of a series of silicon pixel detectors developed at the Swiss Light Source, and commercialised by Dectris. The common factor is that X-rays are converted to an electrical signal by the photoelectric effect in silicon subject to a substantial bias voltage, and then counted directly by a series of cells in an ASIC bonded to the silicon detector, rather than relying on a phosphor. That is, each pixel has its own amplifier, discriminator (for distinguishing X-rays of the desired energy from noise) and counter circuit; this is possible because the desired pixel size for
