(Nasdaq:OSIS), a vertically-integrated provider of specialized electronic products for critical applications in the security and healthcare industries, announced today that its Security division, Rapiscan Systems, has entered into a private label distribution agreement with Brijot Imaging Systems, Inc., a leading provider of passive millimeter wave technology.
