Abstract: A system for collecting fake identification documents includes a central controller coupled to scanners and external systems. The scanners scan identification documents and report images of fake or suspected fake identification documents to the central controller. Documents may be automatically detected as fake by matching against known fake ID templates or by detecting that information extracted from the document appears manufactured or incorrect. Documents may also be manually flagged as suspicious by scanner operators either on-the-fly during routine scanning or in batch operations. Scanned documents may further be sent from scanner to central controller during audit events. The central controller enables human review if desired, and, when reported documents are confirmed to be fake, images of the fake IDs along with metadata thereof are added to a fake ID database. The external systems are then notified and may retrieve fake ID templates from the database for a variety of applications.

Abstract: A robot system and method for conditionally stopping a robot, wherein a maximum stopping time and/or distance are defined by a user or integrator through a user interface as safety limits based on the risk assessment. The method provides the continuous calculation of the time and/or distance, which the robot would need to stop under maximum motor torque and/or brake appliance. The robot is stopped or the speed of the robot is reduced, if the calculated time and/or distance exceeds the maximum limit values set by the user or integrator. The method may also be used to program or generate the trajectories of the robot as not to exceed the speed of the movement under the condition of keeping the set maximum stopping time and/or distance as defined by a use.

Finally, the computing device may generate an alert based on the updated models when any changes in the previously collected data are above a predetermined threshold corresponding to a current security or operational condition associated with the facility.

Abstract: IP addresses may be allocated to devices in an industrial control system by applying starting address information in combination with each device's relative position in a local network. The starting address information, which may include an IP subnet address, gateway address, subnet mask, subnet size, and/or local network group identifier, may be provided to a first positioned, or “initiator,” device in a local network. The initiator device may determine its IP address by applying the starting address information and knowledge of being the first positioned device. The initiator device may send the position information and at least a portion of the starting address information to a next device, which may determine its relative position based on the received position information, and which may apply its relative position with the portion of the starting address information to determine its IP address. This process may continue sequentially for each device.

Abstract: A system is provided in which a position for each device (relative to other devices) in a topology, and a corresponding device ID for each device, may be predetermined. Then, the predetermined position and corresponding device ID for each device may be compared to actual devices in a topology having preprogrammed device ID's and pre-assigned IP addresses. If the comparison produces a match, the pre-assigned IP addresses in the actual devices may be utilized. However, if the comparison does not produce a match, the condition may be reported for further action.
