Abstract: A method for generating an input key for authenticating access to a resource, the method including obtaining an input media; determining a reference point in the input media; sampling the input media in response to determining the reference point to define an input media sample; generating cell data from the input media sample; and generating the input key using the cell data.

Abstract: Method, apparatus, and computer products are provided for creating a network design and simulating communication traffic over the network design on a computer. Input of network elements is received, and the network elements are operatively connected by links to form a network design. Each network element and each link include parameters representative of software and hardware. Input is received of a test condition for a simulation of communication traffic over the network design. The test includes the type of communication traffic, the amount of communication traffic, and the times at which the communication traffic occurs. The computer executes the simulation of the test condition for the network design to determine a survivability for the network elements and the links connecting the network elements. The computer executes an impact analysis on the output of the simulation to determine if there are excessive loads on the network elements and links.

Abstract: A digital camera for providing a short burst of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signal samples in a picture data file with an approximate time for reading by a computer apparatus some time later for determining the geographical location and an accurate time of the picture.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining a GNSS position of an event where an event capture device writes a short burst of GNSS signal samples with an approximate time into an event data file and a GNSS sample processor reads the event data file some time later for determining the geographical location and an accurate time of the event.

Abstract: An intelligent power port device comprising an outlet providing power and a controller located adjacent the outlet which monitors current and voltage at the outlet, and which is programmable to control power supplied by the outlet. The controller is in electrical communication with controllers of other intelligent power port devices, forming an intelligent power port network.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a process for the lowering of increased cholesterol and/or increased neutral fat levels in the blood of humans by administering to such humans a completely acetylated monoglyceride having the general formula ##STR1## wherein one of the groups R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 is the acyl radical of a fatty acid having from 12 to 22 carbon atoms while the other two groups represent acetyl groups, or a mixture of several such completely acetylated monoglycerides, preferably orally and in a daily dosage ranging from 1 to 15 cc. of the pure acetylated monoglyceride or mixture of such acetylated monoglycerides, either in pure form or together with usual pharmaceutical carriers or diluents, possibly together with other lipid lowering agents, or incorporated in dietetic food products.
