  • Patent number: 8230005
    Abstract: The information system and method for collecting, transferring and administrating quality control data, and particularly HACCP data disclosed allows bi-directional communication between a plurality of remote wireless measurement devices and a central web server through a local com/data link. The com/data link provides wireless communication with the various measurement devices and communication with the web server via an Internet connection. An Internet based database and website interface provides centralized data storage and easily accessible data management and analysis. Administrator/users can access and manage the data from any location or device with Internet connectivity. The measurement devices allow their operation and functions to be configured and reconfigured by uploading customized device “data packets” into the devices system memory.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20030009687
    Abstract: A method for facilitating the integrity validation of data files includes providing a portable cryptographic device having a software verification key, and coupling the portable cryptographic device to a computing device. The method also includes identifying a target data file for validation on the computing device, and generating a software verification value for the target data file using the software verification key. An apparatus for facilitating the integrity validation of data files includes a software verification key that is provided on a portable cryptographic device. The apparatus also includes a security logic that is coupled to the software verification key. The security logic is operable to receive as input a target data file loaded on a computing device, and to generate a software verification value for the target data file using the software verification key.

  • Publication number: 20020082067
    Abstract: An electronic board game tests the players' knowledge of certain subject matter, such as religion. The players move their game pieces along a path and answer multipe-choice questions each turn, heading for a finish line. Points are awarded based on the speed with which the players answer the questions, the difficulty level of the questions, the player's age, or a combination of these. At the end of the game, an award certificate can be generated for the winner. The certificate can be used to enter a contest sponsored by an organization, with the ultimate winner being awarded a prize.
