  • Patent number: 9560046
    Abstract: Methods and systems for device notarization and verification are provided. In one implementation, various integrity values are concatenated to generate a concatenated value that is used to generate a transaction data signature (TDS). In one implementation, the concatenated value is a concatenation of a device value, an application value, an application encryption (AE) module value, and an authentication generation (AG) module value. The TDS or notarization code is generated by applying the concatenated value to the AG module. In one implementation, subsequent use of the application on the device involves generation of a new TDS, which is compared against the notarization code to determine whether use of the application on the device is authorized. In one implementation, the AE module and the AG module are seeded with a seed value which includes a device value, an application value, a user specific value, and a pseudo random number.

  • Patent number: 9275277
    Abstract: A method of determining hand features information using both two dimensional (2D) image data and three dimensional (3D) image data is described. In one implementation, a method includes: receiving a 2D image frame; receiving 3D image data corresponding to the 2D image frame; using the 3D image data corresponding to the 2D image frame, transforming the 2D image frame; and using the 3D image data corresponding to the 2D image frame, scaling the 2D image frame, where the transforming and scaling results in a normalized 2D image frame, where the normalized 2D image frame is a scaled and transformed version of the 2D image frame, and where the scaling and transforming is performed using a computer.

  • Publication number: 20040230809
    Abstract: A portable wireless system for providing a user with access to a computer-based system includes a BARB Badge to interface with the user's body, responsive to a disruption in the interface and including a transceiver to communicate with an external source, a BARB Base to detect a presence of said BARB Badge in a vicinity of said BARB Base and relay secure communications between said BARB Badge and said computer-based system; and an administrator subsystem to regulate interfacing operations of said BARB Badge and said computer-based system based on predetermined administrative protocols. In this way, the overall security of the computer-based system is enhanced while the amount of operational burdens associated with accessing the computer-based system are reduced.

  • Patent number: 6622127
    Abstract: A warehouse management system that maximizes throughput and reduces carrying costs by reducing the number of stops that a container makes in the process of fulfilling a customer order. This is accomplished by allocating inventory to orders using the following series of considerations. First, the system selects a pod in order to maximize throughput. If there are multiple locations within the pod that stock the same inventory item, then the method chooses one of those locations based upon the expiration date. Finally, if multiple of these locations have units that expire within the same expiration period, the location with the fewest units is chosen.

  • Patent number: 5240108
    Abstract: A sharps disposal system (2) includes a fiberboard container (6) mounted to a wall (8) by a lockable cage (4). The container has an entrance opening (70) formed through the top (20), sized for the deposit of sharps into its interior. A baffle (60) extends within the interior from the back downwardly and forwardly and is sized and positioned to discourage manual access to the interior while directing sharps into the interior. The container also includes a lid (84) hinged to the top for movement between stable opened and closed positions to permit one hand operation when opened. For disposal the lid is secured to the top using a foam adhesive strip (104) to provide a secure, substantially leakproof seal. The container is coated on the inside surface with a hydrophobic material and has the seams and corners sealed to make the interior of the container substantially leakproof. A view port (50) can be provided to permit the user to determine when the container is full.
