A method for correcting inaccuracies in a three-dimensional (3D) rendered volume of an object due to deviations between an actual scanner translation speed and an expected scanner translation speed, the method comprising: placing a pre-measured reference adjacent to the object which is being scanned so that the pre-measured reference and the object are in the same scan field; scanning the object and the pre-measured reference so that the object and the pre-measured reference are both incorporated in a 3D rendered volume produced through scanning; comparing the 3D rendered volume of the pre-measured reference against the 3D volume of the true pre-measured reference and generating a correction map indicative of how the rendered 3D volume of the pre-measured reference should be adjusted so as to produce a more accurate 3D rendering of the pre-measured reference; and using the correction map to adjust the rendered 3D volume of the object.

A new and improved anatomical imaging system which includes a new and improved movement system, wherein the movement system comprises an omnidirectional powered drive unit and wherein the movement system can substantially eliminate lateral walk (or drift) over the complete stroke of a scan, even when the floor includes substantial irregularities, whereby to improve the accuracy of the scan results and avoid unintentional engagement of the anatomical imaging system with the bed or gurney which is supporting the patient.

An ion implanter for low energy ion implantation includes an ion beam generator, a older for supporting a workpiece, such as a semiconductor wafer, and a voltage source electrically connected to the workpiece. The ion beam generator includes an ion source for generating ions and an extraction electrode having an extraction voltage applied thereto for accelerating the ions to form an ion beam. The voltage source applies to the workpiece a bias voltage that is of opposite polarity and smaller magnitude than the extraction voltage. The ions in the ion beam are implanted in the workpiece with an energy that is a function of the difference between the extraction voltage and the bias voltage.

A device is provided for conveniently holding a flexible bag open and extended so as to be filled and which is particularly designed to enable a user to quickly and easily form a tightly twisted closure for removal of a loaded bag. The device features a base upon which a support platform and stand are rotatably mounted with the stand having a wirelike frame construction promoting access to a loaded bag for efficient removal from the support platform upon spinning the bag to form an open top of the bag into a tightly wound closure serving as a handle for the bag.

Apparatus for facilitating the collection of debris comprises a ramp having a receiving end and a discharging end, a support for the ramp positions the receiving end adjacent the debris and elevates the discharge end, and a container for the debris is supported by the ramp support adjacent the discharge end for receiving debris, such as leaves, therewithin. The ramp and its support may comprise a unitary structure in one embodiment. In another embodiment, the debris container may comprise a cart, one or more walls of which may serve to support the ramp and the ramp may be detached therefrom or it may be pivotally supported thereby for rotation into position as a cover on the cart. The ramp, its support, and the debris container are constructed for portability and facile assembly and disassembly.
