Abstract: A method for reducing the amount of acrylamide in recovered water from a fryer stack. This invention provides a method to treat acrylamide in the waste water/process water. Organic compounds such as phenols, acrylamide and phenolic compounds can be oxidized in the presence of oxidizing compounds like hypo and Fenton reagent. Fenton reagent is a product of reaction of Iron Salts (like Ferrous Sulphate-FeSO4) and Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2). It generates OH* (radical) which has significantly more oxidation power compared to traditional oxidizing agents such as Chlorine . The fryer stack water is collected and treated using Fenton reagent such that the Acrylamide levels are reduced to less than 0.1 ppb in the recovered water.

Abstract: A method for automated authentication of a security label comprises capturing a first image of the security label under a first lighting condition and capturing at least a second image of the security label under a second lighting condition. Further, the first image and the second image are verified to check whether the first image and the second image meet pre-defined expectation under the first lighting condition and the second lighting condition respectively. Authenticity of the security label is confirmed by the processor if the expectation is met.

Abstract: This invention proposes a per-piece unique optical randomness on security labels that enables a unique color profiling. Verification of Color-profiling is fully automated. Color profiling is captured under a light homogenizer. Color profiling starts at certain intersection point (within security label) of line joining reference circle to centre of security label. To detect duplication, multiple color-profiles are acquired with scanner flash light switched-on & switched-off. Even if same label is reapplied after tampering the asset the color profiling gets auto changed and can be automatically verified. Color profiling based security is layered on fundamental layer of spatial orientation. Also optically variable region can be leveraged to quickly verify if label is original without matching with stored color profile in cloud during registration scan.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems, methods, and software for previewing a dashboard report comprising displaying a graphical object on a dashboard design canvas of a design graphical user interface (GUI), receiving a user input to display a preview GUI of the dashboard design canvas, and displaying a preview of the dashboard design canvas on the preview GUI according to a preview mode. The preview mode is user-selectable and includes a monitor device preview mode that causes the preview GUI to display the preview of the dashboard design canvas as the dashboard design canvas would appear when viewed on a monitor device having a screen resolution greater than a monitor threshold and an alternate device preview mode causes the preview GUI to display the preview of the dashboard design canvas as the dashboard design canvas would appear when viewed on a preview device having a screen resolution less than the monitor threshold.

Abstract: Techniques to facilitate offline access control for an application associated with an industrial automation environment are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, a a user login prompt for the application is displayed on a display system of a computing system, wherein the user login prompt provides an offline access option for a user to request offline access to the application for a period of time. User login credentials are received along with a selection of the offline access option, which are transferred for delivery to an authentication server, wherein the authentication server authorizes the user for the offline access to the application for the period of time based on the user login credentials. An authentication response is received from the authentication server, wherein the authentication response instructs the application to authorize the user to operate the application for the period of time without requiring authorization from the authentication server.
