The present 3D-Flow OPRA is a revolutionary electronic instrument for multiple applications: advancing science, saving lives, finding and tracking fast moving objects, etc. It allows to build a flexible, scalable, technology-independent, cost effective powerful tool to uncover the unknown and to confirm or exclude the existence of a subatomic particle predicted by theoretical physicists. When used for Medical Imaging applications the 3D-Flow OPRA allows to accurately measure minimum abnormal biological processes of diseases at an early curable stage such as cancer in a 3D-CBS (3-D Complete Body Screening), improving diagnosis and prognosis to maximize reduction of premature deaths and minimize cost per each life saved. Both instruments, the 3D-Flow OPRA and the 3DCBS can benefit from the additional ER/DSU invention also described in this non-provisional patent application, which allows to record real data from detectors.
A technology-independent, modular, scalable, ultra-high performance, low cost 3D-Flow OPRA system, implementable in different hardware form factors such as VXI, VME, VPX, ATCA, etc. for processing data signals arriving from a matrix of transducers or from an array of memory modules at several Terabytes per second per each crate, executing programmable complex Object Pattern Recognition Algorithms (OPRA) in real-time and capable of executing several functions when the desired trigger condition on the object sought is met. The innovative steps of this invention provide disruptive advantages compared to the state of the art. A 3D-Flow OPRA system for approximately 10,000 channels, sustaining an input data rated of a few Terabyte per second can be built in a VXI crate at a component and manufacturing cost of the order of $100,000. In comparison, the state of the art at CERN Research Laboratory in Geneva built a system with fewer number of channels, less performant at a cost of over one hundred million dollars.
A technology-independent, modular, scalable, high-speed, low cost data recorder and generator ER/DSU (Event Recorder and Detector Simulator Unit) implemented in several hardware form factors capable of reaching a transfer rate in/out of the order of a few Terabyte per second on a 9U VXI crate. A ER/DSU unit for approximately 10,000 channels, sustaining an input data rated of a few Terabyte per second can be built in a VXI crate at a component and manufacturing cost for less than $100,000. Commercially available instrumentation with less performance cost over ten times.
