Abstract
The present specification discloses a storage system for enabling the substantially concurrent storage and access of data that has three dimensional images processed to identify a presence of a threat item. The system includes a source of data, a temporary storage memory for receiving and temporarily storing the data, a long term storage, and multiple workstations adapted to display three dimensional images. The temporary storage memory is adapted to support multiple file input/output operations executing substantially concurrently, including the receiving of data, transmitting of data to workstations, and transmitting of data to long term storage.
Claims23
A storage system for enabling the substantially concurrent storage and access of data, comprising:
- a. A source of data, wherein said data comprises a three dimensional image wherein said three dimensional image has been processed to identify a presence of a threat item;
- b. A random access memory for receiving and temporarily storing said data, wherein said random access memory is adapted to at least four file input/output operations executing substantially concurrently and wherein said data is received from said source of data via one of said at least four file input/output operations executing substantially concurrently;
- c. At least two workstations for accessing said data, wherein each of said workstations is configured to access the random access memory through one of said at least four file input/output operations executing substantially concurrently;
- and
- d. A long term storage system for accessing and storing said data, wherein said long term storage system is configured to access the random access memory through one of said at least four file input/output operations executing substantially concurrently, wherein, if said data is not associated with an alarm or a threat, the random access memory transmits the data to long term storage and does not retain said data for access by the workstations.
A process for high speed storage and access of data wherein said data comprises a plurality of three dimensional images and wherein said three dimensional images have been processed to identify a presence of a threat item system, comprising:
- a. Receiving said data into a random access memory through a first file input/output operation;
- b. Transmitting said data to a first workstation through a second file input/output operation;
- c. Transmitting said data to a second workstation through a third file input/output operation;
- and
- d. Writing said data to a long term storage through a fourth file input/output operation, wherein said first, second, third, and fourth file input/output operations execute substantially concurrently and wherein, if said data is not associated with an alarm or a threat, the random access memory transmits the data to long term storage and does not retain said data for access by the workstations.
