Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for tracking the conversion of data from a hardcopy or physical format such as radiograph film to electronic format such as DICONDE format. The method provides the capability of automatic consistency checks of image quality generated by the digitizer as well as allows for process quality checks by users. Authentication and authorization is built into the digitization process to allow access to authorized users for a particular task. The system provides the capability to generate statistical process control (SPC) curves and reports of the consistency checks. Disaster recovery capability is built into the system.
Abstract: A system for the long-term storage and high-speed retrieval of color images stored on semiconductor substrates. The images are stored on semiconductor substrates by utilizing semiconductor fabrication techniques to produce a plurality of images. A transparent thin-film dielectric varies in thickness to product a color palette.
Abstract: A system for the long-term storage and high-speed retrieval of images stored on silicon wafers. The images are stored by utilizing semiconductor fabrication techniques. These images are organized and managed using metadata in the form of a barcode. Each barcode is a unique identifier that contains the location information for each specific image on the silicon wafer substrate. The system further provides an identifier in an electronic database that references the appropriate barcode and describes the contents of the image. The images and barcodes are transferred to specific predetermined locations on the silicon wafer. The stored images are retrieved by use of a software program that searches for a user's queries in the electronic database and outputs the specific barcode to the image reader. The image reader translates the barcode information for the desired image and drives the optics or the silicon wafer to the appropriate location.
