20090285353	Array CT - Embodiments of an Array CT scanning system for x-ray scanning objects (e.g., scanning airline baggage, packages, and cargo) can include a conveyor configured to transport baggage through a tunnel, a bottom mounted x-ray source configured to provide five fan beams through the tunnel, a side mounted x-ray source disposed at a height higher than the conveyor and configured to provide a fan beam through the tunnel, and a plurality of detectors disposed across the arcs of each of the fan beams. An image processing system can be configured to provide 3D type images of a scanned bag as a function of the information received from the detectors. The images can be derived through interpolation of the scan data. An operator can manipulate the image data and partially rotate the bag to discern objects located within. A side tray is provided to allow an operator to remove a suspect bag from an operational flow of bags. Image information can be stored for subsequent review. Multiple scanners can be networked together such that image and passenger information can be transferred to other workstations.	11-19-2009

20090109398	Apparatus for Improving Visual Perception - Apparatus for improving the visual perception ability of a person with respect to a particular eye condition of at least one eye, includes a client terminal including display device for displaying images to the person, and an input device for inputting responses by the person to images displayed in said display device; and a processor system programmed such that in an evaluation phase, the processor controls said display device to display to the person a plurality of images selected to test the visual perception ability of the person with respect to at least one visual defect, and utilizes responses inputted by the person via said input device to select another plurality of images designed to improve the visual perception ability of the person with respect to a detected visual defect; and in a treatment phase, the processor controls said display device to display to the person said another plurality of images to thereby improve the visual perception ability of the person with respect to said detected visual defect. The display device is a head-wearable display wearable over the eyes of said person and controlled by said processor system to display said plurality of images during both said evaluation phase and said treatment phase.	04-30-2009
