Project News
The bcsi software architecture
and engineering team continues to provide expertise in our
areas of specialty. The project news below describes some of our most notable current and
past projects, with links to partner or client web sites where more
information about the products and companies can be found.
DICOM Connectivity Framework
Developed in continuing collaboration
with the software products division of bcsi,
Laurel Bridge
Software, the DICOM®
Connectivity Framework (DCF) is a
DICOM toolkit that
provides the medical imaging community with the industry's
most reliable, portable and robust high-performance
implementation of DICOM protocol services.
This
DICOM software toolkit is an
advanced, object-oriented collection of software
components implementing the DICOM v3.0 protocol for OEM
medical imaging systems, enabling a medical imaging system
-- printer, scanner, archive device, workstation -- to
communicate with other devices over a network, using the
DICOM protocol.
Codonics, Inc. is the industry leader
in multi-media imagers, has over 20,000 installations
worldwide. Software engineers from bcsi
worked on the Horizon®, a
family of multi-media, multi-size imagers. Horizon
supports film, color film, color paper and grayscale
paper, with no operator intervention to switch between
medias. Innovations which our developers contributed to include a
CORBA distributed object architecture, an embedded Linux
OS, flexible and configurable user interfaces, and control
and security systems.
The imagers are compatible
with many industry standard protocols including
DICOM and
Windows network printing. Horizon also features direct
modality connection, with up to 12 DICOM connections
simultaneously. High speed image processing, networking
and spooling are standard.
To assist DuPont Color Communication in its ongoing
product development, including the CromaPro XP Digital Color Proofing
System®, bcsi
software engineers and developers have
designed, implemented, tested and maintained major
product components.
From Java user interface and remote
proofing connectivity, Epson and HP large-format
printer drivers in C and C++, to configuration management
and product update delivery systems, our engineers have
made, and continue to make, significant contributions to
DuPont's efforts to provide industry-leading software
solutions to the digital printing and proofing industry.
Direct radiography (DR) is one of the most significant advances
in the field of radiology in recent years. DR systems allow x-rays of a patient to
be taken digitally for immediate display on a high-end, diagnostic-quality
computer display or storage to a radiological information system (RIS)
for later retrieval, display or distribution.
Software engineers from bcsi
are involved in the ongoing development of software
control, processing and communications systems for the
Hologic direct-to-digital radiography systems.
Among our
contributes to the product are development of user front-end and
device control systems, network software support and system testing.
The DuPont Solid Imager is an
integrated system developed for the automated layer-wise
fabrication of solid, three-dimensional parts (defined by
solid or surfaced 3D-CAD data) from liquid photopolymers
by using a laser to solidify or "cure" one layer of
photopolymer at a time until a complete part is produced.
Engineers from
bcsi were involved in the design,
specification and implementation of the Somos control system on both
Windows and Solaris platforms, including porting the original system
from Windows to
X-Windows.
The solid imaging system was
originally developed by the DuPont Somos® Solid Imaging Materials
group located in New Castle, Delaware. The Somos materials business has
subsequently been sold. Now known as DSM Somos, it is part of to DSM Desotech,
an innovative formulator and manufacturer of high quality
ultraviolet and electron beam curable materials.
