Abstract: Methods are disclosed for performing an update to a biometric access system. An instruction is received at a handheld device defining the update. An encoded signal is generated from the instruction to be transmitted to a biometric terminal from the handheld device. An acknowledgment is received from the biometric terminal at the handheld device that the encoded signal has been received and acted upon. Update information is transmitted from the handheld device over a network to a server to record the update.

Abstract: Biometric terminals are disclosed that include a biometric reader, an input device, and a processor coupled with the biometric reader and the input device. The processor has instructions to read a biometric measure from a user with the biometric reader. It also has instructions to receive an encoded signal from a handheld device with the input device, the encoded signal including an instruction to update a biometric access system. Instructions are included to decode the encoded signal and to modify biometric access by the user to the biometric access system in accordance with the instruction to update the biometric access system. Update of the biometric access system is acknowledged.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for transmitting information from a handheld device to a terminal. The information is encoded as a barcode pattern. The barcode pattern is generated on a display of the handheld device. A size of the barcode pattern is periodically modulated on the display while maintaining internal relative dimensions within the barcode pattern. The periodically modulating barcode pattern is displayed to an optical reader of the terminal.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for production of an electromagnetically shielded connection between a plug arrangement (which has at least one plug) of a first unit and a socket arrangement, which has at least one corresponding socket, of a second unit. The at least one plug and the at least one socket form a plug connection when connected to one another. The plug connection is surrounded by a shielding device which provides good electromagnetic shielding for it and is formed by the at least one plug and the at least one socket independently.

Abstract: The invention relates to a securing apparatus for a portable electronic unit to an adapter, which is electronically and/or mechanically connected to a physical unit, in particular an aircraft. The adapter is provided with a locking device which has a control element that is mounted via a shaft, with the shaft being provided with an eccentric device, and with the eccentric device pushing the portable device (which is inserted into the adapter) to a vibration-proof locked position by operation of the control element beyond the dead point of the eccentric device.
