  • Patent number: 7231013
    Abstract: An x-ray inspection is provided featuring a single x-ray source and a planar array of linear sensors aligned in parallel. An article to be inspected is moved between the x-ray source and the linear sensors in a series of passes parallel to the array of linear sensors and substantially perpendicular to the long axes of the linear sensors. Alternately, the x-ray source and the sensors are moved as a unit relative to a stationary article. As a result, a transmission image of the article is captured for each of the linear sensors. These transmission images are then combined mathematically to generate a layer image for each separate conceptual layer of the article. In some embodiments, these layer images may then be interpreted in order to determine the quality of the article.

  • Patent number: 7062534
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method for processing sending information in a sending device. The method comprises receiving at least a fragment of a destination address/number to which information is to be sent; cross-referencing the address/number fragment with a database assigned to the user to see if the address/number matches an address/number saved for that user; and automatically caching the address/number in the user's database if it has not been previously saved. The system therefore comprises logic configured to receive at least a fragment of a destination address/number to which information is to be sent; logic configured to cross-reference the address/number fragment with a database assigned to the user to see if the address/number matches an address/number saved for that user; and logic configured to automatically cache the address/number in the user's database if it has not been previously saved.
