Abstract: A mobile device is provided with software monitoring a programmatically controlled process of the mobile device. The software communicates a status of the process to an alert device that, in turn, communicates process status information to the monitor. The monitor is equipped to take appropriate action, such as by providing notifications if operation of the process has failed, rebooting a program on the mobile device to restart the failed process, rebooting an operating system of the mobile deice to restart the failed process, or providing programmatic instructions to alter operation of the process according to a preterminated schedule or sequence of events.

Abstract: An image processing sensor system functions as a standalone unit to capture images and process the resulting signals to detect objects or events of interest. The processing significantly improves selectivity and specificity of detection objects and events in a series of motions that may precede a patient who is at elevated risk of falling.

Abstract: A secure election system provides a downloadable ballot viewer object for the casting of ballots. The ballot viewer object authenticates the user, permits user interaction in the casting of ballots, seals the cast ballot image by encryption, and transmits the cast ballot to election headquarters. The ballot viewer object may be used to perform secure voting on the Internet.

Abstract: A ballot packaging system is automated to place ballots in envelopes. The ballots are printed by an assigned type according to voter information stored in a database. Each ballot includes a first printed indicia allocated to the ballot type, but this identifier does not particularly identify the voter. The first printed indicia is scanned to produce a scanned identifier signal. The ballot is placed in an envelope, which is printed with comparison indicia that enables a comparison to ascertain whether the ballot within the envelope does contain the intended ballot type.

Abstract: An electronic voting system includes a controller and one or more voting stations. The voting stations each have a liquid crystal display that is electronically configurable to present voters with ballot information. A mobile ballot box includes memory storage that is used to transport electronic ballot data to and from an election headquarters. The visual display on the LCD at the casting of each ballot is checked against electronic records of votes, as they are stored. The electronic ballot information includes a plurality of ballot styles that the controller selectively provides to the voting stations depending upon voter authorization corresponding to a particular style. The voting stations may be retrofitted with access units that facilitate voting by disabled or physically challenged persons. A complete audit trail is maintained of all operator interaction with the controller.

Abstract: A compact disk identification system (50) utilizes a destructible adhesive sticker (20) to identify the owner of a compact disk (40). The sticker includes a top layer (22) that is marked with printed indicia (26) providing ownership information. The top layer is backed by an adhesive face (34) covered with an adhesive providing an adhesive strength exceeding the tear strength of the top layer. The top layer is affixed to the compact disk using a base plate (52) and a pestle (54) having a central cylinder (62). A very close tolerance between the cylinder, the disk, the top layer, and the pestle provides a substantially perfect central alignment of the top layer on the disk.
