Renumber Scans 1.0
Renumber Scans - Put scanned pages in the correct order more>>
Can your document feeder only scan one side of the page at a time? Tired of manually feeding in double sided pages so that they will be scanned in the correct order?
Renumber Scans is an AppleScript that lets you scan all of side 1 of the pages with the document scanner, then scan all of side 2, then renames the scanned files to put the pages in the correct order.
Virex Folder Scan Scripts 1.0.1
Virex Folder Scan Scripts - AppleScript to autoscan downloaded files more>>
You can attach this script to multiple folders, I use my desktop and my Erage attachments folder.
Enhancements:
- added a file/folder size compare loop for the downloads. It compares file sizes every 3 seconds, and when they match, downloads done, scan. This is obviously not foolproof, especially on balky modem lines, but if need be, I can increase this. just email me, jwelch@mit.edu, and let me know.
The Virtual Microscope 6.2.2
The Virtual Microscope - supports interactive viewing of high-resolution, multi-dimensional datasets from various microscopes more>>
The Virtual Microscope is a tool that supports data from a Philips Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM), and a Fluorescence Light Microscope.
Interface Controls
The interface provides a simulation of our actual microscope interface(s). Controls common to all datasets include brightness, magnification (usually up to 1800x), navigation, measurement, and annotation. SEM samples include a contrast control, and some also include a focus control.
The navigation and magnification controls allow the user to explore any point of interest on the sample. This differs from other virtual microscopes that have been produced which provide only a few hot spots that can be magnified and explored.
Focus
The focus control is a real focal plane adjustment instead of a blurring of the image. Our automated data capture software (see below) allows us to capture an arbitrary number of focal planes. Thus, the focus control on the Virtual Microscope allows the user to glide through those planes interactively, bringing items closer and farther into focus. This is particularly useful with thick specimens viewed in the SEM.
Annotations
We have included a full set of specimen annotation tools so that experts and laypeople alike can mark up the datasets for future reference. These annotations are useful for teaching details about the data, as well as for allowing teachers to ask students to identify data features as homework. The annotations can be saved and reloaded as XML files.
Automated Data Collection
It can take thousands of images to fully describe a single specimen so that the user can explore any point at varying magnifications with multiple focal planes. As a result, some our datasets are many gigabytes (GB) in size. In order to accurately and sanely collect this data, we have written various software programs that automatically control the instruments.
The Bugscope Connection
The software for our SEM is based off of a work on a previous project called Bugscope. Bugscope is an online educational outreach project that provides real-time access to our SEM over the web so that school children can look at bugs from their own backyards.
We have leveraged the remote-control software we wrote for Bugscope into an automated data-collection package for the SEM. On the Light Microscope, we are using Openlab, and will be distributing our tiling scripts in case you have a similar system.
Specimen IDs
Each Virtual Microscope specimen gets its own unique specimen identification number. For those building new samples, click the button below to generate a new specimen ID. Generated IDs expire after two months, so dont grab one until you need it. When specimens are submitted, we will verify they have a valid ID automatically.

CGvirusscan 1.1
CGvirusscan is a user-friendly, secure and reliable (and reasonably effective) virus scanner for the CommuniGate Pro web server. more>>
CGvirusscan 1.1 is a user-friendly, secure and reliable (and reasonably effective) virus scanner for the CommuniGate Pro web server.
It relies on Virex and the Unix "munpack" utility ((C) Copyright 1993,1994 by Carnegie Mellon University, All Rights Reserved). While "munpack" is included, you'll need to buy your own copy of Virex. Incoming messages are decoded and scanned against whatever Virex DAT file is currently installed. If a virus is found, the sender is notified, a log entry is created, and a copy of the message is stored. As an added bonus, a script for automatically updating Virex DAT files is also included. This may even be of some use to people who aren't using CommuniGate Pro.
This program has worked remarkably well on the server for the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences at The Ohio State University for roughly six months. It scans around 25,000-30,000 messages a day on a 500MHz G4.
Requirements:
- Mac OS X 10.0 or higher
- Mac OS X Server 10.0 or higher
- Virex 7.0 munpack (included)

Scan Again 1.0
Scan Again - A GUI front-end for SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) more>>
These were originally developed for Linux, but work on other operating systems, including Mac OS X.
I had this problem with an HP scanner I picked up at a rummage sale, and was able to get it to work using SANE. The trouble was that the SANE utilities are all command-line, and I got tired of typing.
I decided to make a GUI shell to interface with the command-line utilities, and I did this using RealBasic .
The resulting program runs the command-line utilities for you. It searches for scanners, putting the results into a pop-up at the top of the window ( see screen shot ).
It then interrogates the selected scanner for available options, and populates the spinners and pop-ups with the options available for the given scanner.

Universal Checker 1.1c
Universal Checker comes as an essential tool for scanning and indentifying Universal/X86/PPC executables/libraries properly. more>>
Universal Checker 1.1c comes as an essential tool for scanning and indentifying Universal/X86/PPC executables/libraries properly. With the technology of Rosetta, users can run universal app, i386 app and even ppc applications without knowing what they are.
To be a smart user, you may want to know what the kind of the executable/library is since:
- You may want to know what kinds the appliations on your machine are. Then you may update the ppc versions to universal versions. This app can SCAN your disk very FAST for you and list the results for you! Just ONE click.
- Sometimes, an application takes long time to load and is slow to run, it may be a ppc app on x86 machine.
- For a single applicaton, it may contain a lot of executables, and, some of them may be ppc or i386 only.
- As a developer, you may need to deliver different targets with different architectures. So, use this to make everything is right.
- What architecture the binaries in your system folder are? Honestly, some is still PPC on your Intel machine.
- Scan! Scan! Scan! no need to use whatever slow method or any funky tool. Image you may have thousands to check...
- FAST algorithms for scan and indentifying
- PRINT or save your whole results!
Requirements: Mac OS X 10.2 or later.

- line color: this specifies the color that the scan lines are drawn in.
- separation: this tells the plug how far apart the scan lines should be generated.
- thickness: this defines the thickness of the scan lines
- opacity: this slider controls how transparent the scan lines are.
