Abstract: Digital fingerprints include data indicative of interior features or structures of an object. The physical object may be rigid or malleable. The digital fingerprints may also include data indicative of features on an exterior surface of the object. Digital fingerprints may uniquely identify an object with respect to other objects, even with respect to other objects of a same type or class of objects. The technology may be relatively invariant to changes in scale, rotation, affine, homography, perspective, and illumination as between a reference digital fingerprint and a later acquired or generated digital fingerprint. Digital fingerprints may be used to authenticate an object as being a second instance or appearance of a previously digitally fingerprinted object.

Abstract: An actuator apparatus includes an actuator rod with a interior cavity and a set of rod holes extending through the actuator rod to the cavity. The apparatus includes a light assembly positioned to light the cavity and an actuator block with an opening sized to conform to an outer surface of the actuator rod and one or more block holes in the opening. Each of the block holes is positioned to align with each of the rod holes as the actuator rod moves with respect to the actuator block. The actuator block includes a light sensor positioned to sense light coming through a rod hole aligned with the block hole. The apparatus includes a verification module with a light modulator that modulates light of the light assembly to transmit a position signal, and a verification circuit that transmits a verification signal after the light sensor receives the position signal.
