By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – From Washington, D.C., NewsRx journali sts report that a patent application by the inventors Foland, Andrew Dean (Welle sley, MA, US); Ortyl, III, Nicholas Edward (Bedford, MA, US), filed on November 15, 2023, was made available online on May 16, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: “Non-contact screening is an important tool to detect the p resence of contraband or hazardous items being carried by an individual entering a restricted area or transportation hub such as a secure building, an airport, or a train station. Various technologies have been used for non-contact screenin g including x-ray and millimeter-wave imaging. Such technologies can be used to produce images that reveal hidden objects carried on a person and/or inside bags or other containers carried by the person that are not visible to plain sight. One approach for such screening is a transportation access point such as an airp ort or train station is to use a series of empty bins picked up by an individual at an input stage of a line and a conveyor system to move the bins into and out of an x-ray system. The individual places items (e.g., bags, keys, phones, shoe s, jackets, and/or the like including combinations and/or multiples thereof) int o a bin in a process known as divesture. The bin is then inspected by an x-ray s ystem or the like. The individual can collect the item(s) from the bin after ins pection. A bin return system returns the bins to replenish bin supply at a dives titure area.”
