Sensor View Capture

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with 37 CFR 404.6, announcement is made of the 
availability for licensing of U.S. Patent Application No. 09/954,678 
entitled ``Digital Radiographic Sensor View Capture'' filed Sept. 14, 
2001. Foreign Rights are also available (PCT/US01/29662). The United 
States Government as represented by the Secretary of the Army has 
rights in this invention.

ADDRESSES: Commander, U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An apparatus including but not limited to a 
charge-coupled device (CCD)-array sensor positioning mechanism, the 
positioning mechanism structured to position a CCD-array sensor to 
capture a first target area; and the CCD-array sensor to capture a 
second target area proximate to the first target area, the first and 
second target areas spatially related such that a first radiographic 
image recorded at the first target area may be combined with a second

radiographic image recorded at the second target area to form a 
composite radiographic image substantially analogous to a single 
radiographic image of an aggregate target area covered by the first and 
second target areas. A related method that includes but is not limited 
to recording a first radiographic image of a first target area using 
CCD-array sensor techniques; recording a second radiographic image of a 
second target area, the second target area proximate to the first 
target area, using CCD-array sensor techniques; and displaying a 
composite image constructed from the first and second image.
