Abstract: One embodiment includes hardware-based cybersecurity devices that create a physical barrier (“hardware security barrier”) between a computer's (or other device's) processor and a public or private network. Hardware security barriers typically use immutable hardware in accomplishing cybersecurity activities including generating and distributing cryptographically secure numbers, encryption, decryption, source authentication, and packet integrity verification. This hardware security barrier protects against remote threats and guarantees that all exported and received data are strongly encrypted. A hardware security barrier can be included in any computing or networking device that contains a network interface. One embodiment of a hardware security barrier is implemented as part of a network interface, such as, but not limited to being part of a network interface controller, or as a standalone unit between a communications interface of a host system and a connection to a network.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a computer includes one or more processors; a computer readable storage medium comprising a sequence of instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause: transmitting, to a second computer over a network, a first subset of patient data; receiving, from the second computer, a command for additional data, wherein the command is based on the first subset of the patient data; identifying a second subset of the patient data based on the command; transmitting, to the second computer, the second subset of the patient data; wherein the first subset of the patient data and the second subset of the patient data were collected by one or more biometric sensors within a same medical examination session.

Abstract: A computer includes one or more processors; and logic coupled to the one or more processors and comprising one or more stored sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform: collecting first patient data, associated with at least one attribute, from a patient by one or more biometric sensors based on a first protocol; evaluating the first patient data based at least on a portion, of aggregate medical information, associated with the at least one attribute; based on the evaluating, determining a second protocol for collecting additional patient data; collecting the additional patient data by the one or more biometric sensors based on the second protocol.

Abstract: A method comprises obtaining, by a computer, patient information associated with a patient and operator information associated with one or more biometric sensors; determining, by the computer, a protocol for obtaining patient data from the patient based on the patient information and the operator information; obtaining, by the one or more biometric sensors, the patient data from the patient based on the protocol.

Abstract: In an embodiment, precise measurement on a mobile computing device is facilitated with a computer comprising one or more processors; a computer readable storage medium comprising a sequence of instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform displaying, in a touch-sensitive computer display unit: an image of an object; over the image, a first reticle at a first position and a second reticle at a second position that is spaced apart from the first position; a measurement value representing a linear distance between the first reticle and the second reticle with reference to the object; one or more fine positioning icons each associated with a different direction; obtaining a selection of one of the first reticle and the second reticle as a selected reticle; obtaining user input selecting one of the fine positioning icons; in response to the user input, re-displaying the selected reticle in a new position in a particular direction associated with the se
