Abstract: A system and method for lifting an enhanced image of a delivery item using a first low-resolution color scanner to lift a first image of the delivery item, analyzing the first image with a processor to determine a color of the delivery item, using the color information to adjust the spectrum of an illuminating device, lifting a second image of the delivery item illuminated with the adjusted spectrum, and lifting a second image of the delivery item using a high-resolution grayscale scanner, the second image having enhanced contrast.

Abstract: An automated file and directory system listing various types of information with links directly to specific electronic documents. This unique flat file directory listing procedure is electronically automated and synchronized to facilitate storage, search, and retrieval of documents. A Subscriber can list an electronic document in the directory. This automated listing process requires the input of specific data relevant to that specific document. This data is then used to create a unique flat file name consisting of fields and/or flags with value, thereby providing the pertinent technical intelligence required for the system to operate. Each value provides a reference that integrates with the ASDDS Search Engine Module. The search and retrieval methodology involved would include an interactive request form, which the User would use to define a listing. Such definition may be as specific, or as broad as the searcher wishes.
