摘要： Disclosed herein is a metal sorting device including an X-ray tube (15), a dual energy detector array (4), a microprocessor (12), and an air ejector array (5). The device senses the presence of samples in the x-ray sensing regio and initiates identifying and sorting the samples (3). After identifying and classifying the category of a sample, at a speci time, the device activates an array of air ejectors located at specific positions in order to place the sample (3) in the prop collection bin (8 and 10).

摘要： A method and apparatus are disclosed for screening articles such as baggage (4), utilizing a computerized touch sensitive screen (10A) or other computerized pointing device for operator identification and electronic marking of objects within the article to be further examined. Baggage is electromagnetically (i.e., x-ray) scanned (1) while traveling on a conveyer (3) and an electronic image (11) is taken of each article and stored in a computer (8). An operator positioned at a computerized touch sensitive screen views electronic images of the articles to be screened as they are conveyed past a sensor array which transmits sequences of images. The present system utilizes a plurality of visual display devices (10A-10C), each with an examiner, which are likely located remotely of the screening operation. Each examination continues such that there is no interruption in the flow of articles should an examiner detect an object worthy of further examination, either by screen or by physical examination.
