Abstract: Systems and methods to provide an ultrasound scanner with a display interface are described. An ultrasound system includes an ultrasound scanner having an interface configured to display a visual representation, and a first transceiver configured to communicate over a communication link. The ultrasound system includes a display device having a reader configured to read the visual representation displayed by the ultrasound scanner, and a second transceiver configured to, responsive to the reader reading the visual representation, initiate communication with the first transceiver of the ultrasound scanner over the communication link to pair the ultrasound scanner and the display device.

Abstract: Embodiments of ultrasound utility station and methods for using the same are disclosed. In some embodiments, the method includes displaying a status of the ultrasound machine that indicates a location of the ultrasound machine and an amount of charge of a battery of the ultrasound machine, and displaying an additional status that indicates an additional location of the ultrasound utility station and one or more available ultrasound probes on the ultrasound utility station. After receiving a selection of an ultrasound probe of the available ultrasound probes and a user input that determines a schedule for said configuring the ultrasound machine, the method instructs the ultrasound utility station to charge the battery of the ultrasound machine and provide the ultrasound probe for transfer to the ultrasound machine.

Abstract: An assessment system, including methods of and apparatus for producing a targeted assessment scheme comprising battery of tests or assessments and based on a plurality of requirements. Methods described include a method of producing an assessment scheme for assessing the suitability of a candidate, the method comprising: receiving as input from a user at least one candidate requirement and at least one candidate test identifier; constructing a candidate assessment comprising at least one test in dependence on the test identifier; analysing the candidate assessment in dependence on the requirement to predict the accuracy of the assessment in identifying a suitable candidate; and reporting on the predicted accuracy of the candidate assessment.

Abstract: A computer readable medium encoded with a plurality of instructions for execution on at least one processor, the plurality of instructions performing a method of remote screening of items of baggage. The method includes steps of storing information about an item under inspection, linking a unique item identifier with the information to uniquely associate the information with the item under inspection and retrieving the information about the item under inspection in response to a request. The method also includes analyzing the information to determine a screening result for the item under inspection, and storing the screening result with the information about the item.

Abstract: A system for remote inspection of items including at least one inspection machine constructed to examine an item under inspection to obtain information about the item, a database coupled to the at least one inspection machine that receives and stores the information about the item in an item file, the item including a unique item identifier, and an item file inspection device that receives the item file, analyzes data contained in the item file and records screening information based on an analysis of the item file. The system also includes a server that controls transfer of the item file and the screening information between the database and the item file inspection device. The screening information is linked with the item file using the unique item identifier. The item file inspection device is located remote from the at least one inspection machine.
