Title: Footwear scanning systems and methods

Abstract

Methods and apparatus for scanning articles, such as footwear, to provide information regarding the contents of the articles are described. According to one aspect, a footwear scanning system includes a platform configured to contact footwear to be scanned, an antenna array configured to transmit electromagnetic waves through the platform into the footwear and to receive electromagnetic waves from the footwear and the platform, a transceiver coupled with antennas of the antenna array and configured to apply electrical signals to at least one of the antennas to generate the transmitted electromagnetic waves and to receive electrical signals from at least another of the antennas corresponding to the electromagnetic waves received by the others of the antennas, and processing circuitry configured to process the received electrical signals from the transceiver to provide information regarding contents within the footwear.

System and method for adaptive range 3D scanning

Patent Rosman, Guy; Rus, Daniela; Fisher, III, John W.

A scanner system is configured for acquiring three dimensional image information of an object. The scanner includes a projector, a camera, a graphics processing device, and a processor. The projector projects one of several pre-defined patterns upon the object. The camera captures an image from the object, which is received by the processor. The processor approximates mutual information from the object and the pattern using the graphics processing device, and selects a second pattern for projecting on the object.

A system and method is disclosed for chromatography and electrophoresis using circular optical scanning. One or more rectangular microchannel plates or radial microchannel plates has a set of analysis channels for insertion of molecular samples. One or more scanning devices repeatedly pass over the analysis channels in one direction at a predetermined rotational velocity and with a predetermined rotational radius. The rotational radius may be dynamically varied so as to monitor the molecular sample at various positions along a analysis channel. Sample loading robots may also be used to input molecular samples into the analysis channels. Radial microchannel plates aremore » « less
