Abstract: A low-power, fully self-contained fingerprint capture, enrollment and verification method and device (100). The device includes a logic unit (110), a memory (120), a fingerprint sensor (130) and an interface (150) to an external unit (140). Included in the memory is a program (126) that includes a sensor data capture module (200), an image processing module (202), a minutia extraction module (204), a template creation module (206), a template compare module (208), and a database (210). The processes for capturing, enrolling and verifying a fingerprint are designed to be minimally computationally intensive. This allows implementation of these processes in a portable, battery-powered unit using hardware with limited memory and computing capability, or implementation in a PC with substantial performance advantages relative to known fingerprint capture, enrollment and verification processes and devices.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved method of alerting a remote device in an idle state over a channel. A value R1, which is the location of an initial PI bit within an initial half of at least one time slot on the channel, is computed based on a hashing algorithm defined in IS-2000 that uses information about the remote device. The initial indicator bit is assigned a binary value by the base station. Then, a value R2, which is the location of a further bit on a further half of the at least one time slot on the channel, is computed based on an improved hashing algorithm. Then, the further indicator bit is assigned a binary value by the base station. Then, the remote device in the idle state is alerted over the channel based on the assigned bit location R1 and further bit location R2.

Abstract: A golf ball stacking and dispensing apparatus comprising a hopper having two pyramidal shells each of different dimensions. Each of the shells is truncated and has a respective open substantially rectangular rim defining a respective open base of a different dimension than that of the other. The shells are joined together where each is truncated so as to converge together and define a funnel opening between the shells. Each of the shells is configured to form a self-supporting stack of golf balls atop each other as a stacking tray closes the open base of one of the shells and the golf balls are poured through the other of the shells. A method of forming different size pyramidal stacks of golf balls by pouring golf balls through one pyramidal shell of a hopper to fill the other pyramidal shell thereof.

Abstract: Telephone network service logic relating to calls over the telephone network to a customer terminal, uses both terminal functions and network functions. The terminal has a service logic script for execution at the terminal to control the terminal functions. To control the execution of this script remotely from the network, a script-control message is determined and sent over the telephone network to the terminal. This may use the GR30 message format, with an additional call qualifier specific to the terminal service logic script, and the type of control being requested, e.g., start execution or terminate the script. This enables the reliability of the interaction between the service logic at the network side, and the service logic script at the terminal to be improved. This enables announcement type services to be provided in which a loudspeaker on the terminal can be remotely controlled to make verbal announcements without requiring customer action to lift a receiver.

Transmission channel quality information associated with at least two of the base stations is received at predefined intervals. Loading information associated with the base stations is received at further predefined intervals. A respective one of the base stations is selected as a function of the quality information and the loading information. An indication that the respective remote station is to commence communication with the selected one of the at least two base stations is sent to the respective remote station.

Abstract: A sensor mountable within a hydraulic cylinder provides a precision signal indicative of the position of the piston. The sensor includes a flexible connector attached between the cylinder piston and a converting element for sensing the piston displacement. The converting element comprises a pick-up spool, under tension, coupled to the other end of the connector and rotatable about an axis. A lead screw engages threads on the spool, and translates linearly when the spool rotates. A non-contacting electromechanical transducer senses the position of the lead screw, and provides an output signal proportional to the motion or position of the movable element. The transducer may be an LVDT or other transducer. A high-pressure seal assembly provides an electrical path between the sensor and an external connector. A piston stop prevents the piston from damaging the sensor.
