Abstract
A system for transporting objects includes an endless belt to transport objects. Optically visible indicia may be associated with a position on the endless belt. Machine-detectable indicia correlated with the optically visible indicia may be associated with a substantially similar position on the endless belt as the optically visible indicia.
Claims16
A system for transporting objects, comprising:
- an endless belt configured to transport objects;
- optically visible indicia associated with a position on the endless belt;
- and
- machine-detectable indicia correlated with the optically visible indicia on the endless belt and detectable by a machine, the machine-detectable indicia being associated with a substantially similar position on the endless belt as the optically visible indicia.

An airport security system for non-invasively inspecting baggage items, comprising:
- a non-invasive imaging system from providing an image of contents of a baggage item;
- a display device in communication with the non-invasive imaging system and configured to display the image;
- an endless belt configured to transport baggage items through the non-invasive imaging system;
- and
- a container for placement on the endless belt and comprising optically visible indicia and machine-detectable indicia correlated with the optically visible indicia.
2 more elements
An airport security method for inspecting objects, comprising:
- receiving an object within a container, the container having optically visible indicia and machine-detectable indicia correlated with the optically visible indicia;
- conveying the container to a non-invasive imaging system for imaging the object and the machine-detectable indicia;
- displaying an image of the object and the machine-detectable indicia on a display device in communication with the non-invasive imaging system;
- and
- correlating the machine-detectable indicia in the image with the optically visible indicia on the container after the object has exited the non-invasive imaging system to identify the object.
2 more elements
A system for transporting objects, comprising:
- a container configured to transport objects;
- optically visible indicia associated with the container;
- and
- machine-detectable indicia correlated with the optically visible indicia on the container and detectable by a machine to enable optical correlation with machine detection of the machine-detectable indicia.
