Abstract: A method of identifying a plurality of items, the method comprising: performing a CT scan of a plurality of items, at least some of said items bearing information tags; reconstructing an image based on the CT scan; and identifying an information tag associated with the items based on the reconstructed image.

Abstract: A system and method for transmitting data includes one or more transmitters connected to each of at least one bus data line via open-driver bus data line drivers, and one or more receivers. In a preferred embodiment, the devices are interconnected by a parallel interface using a bus architecture having the bus data and carrier-sense (CRS) lines each driven by open-collector or open-drain drivers in a wired-and configuration. Pullup resistors and a common clock signal are also provided. Each device is provided with an interfacing unit which connects the device to the bus, and detects collisions by comparing data transmitted by the device with data received from the bus. The invention is particularly applicable to implementation as a backplane connecting intercommunicating printed wiring boards having interfaces such as the IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) Media Independent Interface (MII), the interfacing unit serving to emulate the Ethernet PHY.
