Abstract: Wavefront sensors are provided herein. An aperture mask is configured to receive incident light the wavefront of which is to be measured and comprising irregularly spaced apertures that respectively transmit sub-beams of the incident light. A diffuser is configured to receive the sub-beams transmitted by irregularly spaced apertures of the aperture mask. A camera, having a focal plane in which the diffuser substantially is located, is configured to obtain a digital image of the diffuser and thus to obtain a digital image of the incident light the sub-beams of which the aperture mask transmits onto the diffuser. A controller is configured to electronically receive the digital image of the diffuser and to measure the wavefront of the incident light based on the digital image. Methods also are provided.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a failure management apparatus. The failure management apparatus includes a processor configured to detect a failure in an ATM (Automated Teller Machine) and create state information for the ATM, including information about the failure and a communication unit configured to send the state information to a user terminal connected with a management server for managing a state of the ATM via a network.

Abstract: The invention provides a convenient platform in the form of a dealership utility through which customers and dealers can manage vehicles and service appointments. Customers may log-in to access a customer module of the dealership utility through which they may receive notifications pertaining to their vehicle, view vehicle status information, adjust their preferences and settings, schedule and manage service appointments, contact the dealership and view service histories associated with their vehicles. Dealers may log-in to access a dealer module of the dealership utility through which they may manage employees, customers and service appointments, as well as review customer surveys and business reports. The dealership utility may be implemented as a web application, software application, or mobile application, and/or in combination with a text messaging system, usable by customers and dealers on any computing device such as personal computers and mobile phones.

Abstract: Embodiments of apparatuses, methods and systems for deployable projection screens are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: A system and method for securing a central processing unit and/or encrypting pin pad (EPP) for an automated teller machine from tampering is disclosed. A user input is provided that has a plurality of input keys for allowing associated users to enter information by depressing the input keys. The input keys include key contacts and conductive traces that lead to a processing unit and other security features. In general operation, the key contacts and traces are measured and/or read for capacitance and resistance and are compared against prior readings to establish base for next sequences. If base readings are significantly out of tolerance or if other security features generate a fault condition, a tamper response is triggered, which causes erasing (e.g., zeroing) of cryptographic information contained in the security processor and renders unit inoperable.
