Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for authenticating an online user. Authentication involves sending a code from a server to a user device equipped with a source of illumination and a camera capable of capturing video imagery of the online user. The user device receives the code, modulates the source of illumination in accordance with the code, and captures video imagery of the user while the source of illumination is being modulated according to the code. The captured video imagery of the online user is sent to the server where it is analyzed to detect evidence of changes in illumination that correspond to the code. If good correspondence is found, the user may be authenticated. Similar methods may be applied to other biometric data. Applications of the authentication include identify validation, pseudonym verification, and distinguishing human from non human access attempts.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products provide near real-time feedback to a user of a camera-enabled device to guide the user to capture self-imagery when the user is in a desired position with respect the camera and/or the display of the device. The desired position optimizes aspects of self-imagery that is captured for applications in which the imagery is not primarily intended for the user's consumption. One class of such applications includes applications that rely on illuminating the user's face with light from the device's display screen. The feedback is abstracted to avoid biasing the user with aesthetic considerations. The abstracted imagery may include real-time cartoon-like line drawings of edges detected in imagery of the user's head or face.

Abstract: An exercise device includes a support frame and a running platform supported by the support frame. The support frame includes a front, a rear, a left side, and a right side and defines a horizontal plane having a longitudinal axis and a lateral axis. The running platform includes at least one support member extending longitudinally between the front and the rear of the support frame. A left track and a right track are each rotatably connected to the at least one support member and the support frame for lateral rotation. The left track and the right track are each operable between a horizontal position and an inclined position. The left and right tracks are substantially parallel to the horizontal plane in the horizontal position and are laterally rotated relative to the horizontal plane in their respective inclined positions.

Abstract: A communication device (1) for computer local networks of the cordless type uses a modulator (MOD) able to perform FSK modulation on the data (DDI) to be transmitted, with optimum characteristics thanks to a digital switch (SW) controlled by the data (DDI) which commutes during transmission between two fixed frequencies received from a quartz oscillator, in association with a filter of the surface acoustic wave type (SAW). The device (1) permits a significant improvement in circuit integration and is simple and of low cost.

Abstract: A communication procedure suitable for a cordless telephone system involves time division duplex radio communication between a handset 11 and a base station 3 using alternating bursts of transmission over a single radio channel. Once a radio link has been set up, initial transmissions carry a synchronisation logical channel S and a signalling logical channel D multiplexed together, but the link may switch to bursts carrying a communications logical channel B for the speech data and the signalling logical channel D. Burst synchronisation is achieved by the asynchronous detection of words in a synchronisation channel S. These words have bit patterns reducing the probability of incorrect asynchronous detection of them. If one part ceases to receive handset signals from the other, it transmits a special signal, informing the other part. This enables both parts to detect the failure of a link at substantially the same time, so that their actions to re-establish the link are synchronised.
