Abstract: A method of installing software on a computer associated with a user, the computer being coupled to a system including one or more document handling devices connected to the computer via a communications network. The method includes, in a document handling device, determining a user identity associated with the user, and in at least part of the system, identifying the computer using the determined user identity and causing a software package to be transferred to the computer via the communications network, thereby causing the software to be installed.

Abstract: A vapor deposition source including a crucible configured to hold a quantity of molten constituent material and at least one nozzle to pass vapor evaporated from the molten constituent material out of the crucible.

Abstract: A method and interactive screen system for identifying orthologous genomic regions between two or more species can be provided. The method can involve performing a BLAST search using each of the two or more species against each of the other of the two or more species and identifying the best ortholog matches. The interactive screen system can display one or more of (a) a map viewer which can show genomic sequence information of the two or more species with markers therein, (b) a TA viewer which can show at least one contig and fragments which generated the contig, (c) an evidence viewer which can anotate transcribed regions of the genomic data, (d) a synteny viewer which can show syntenic relationships between the genomic sequence data, (e) a multiple sequence alignment viewer which can show multiple sequence alignments of genomic sequences, and (f) a trace viewer which can show single nucleotides in genomic sequences.

Abstract: A card reader operated in proximity to secured area control point including an operating system therein to provide multiple operating modes. The card reader is operable to provide access to a secured area by entry of an identification code, which is read by the card reader, or entered to the keyboard. The user will be granted access to the controlled area when the user access requested corresponds to the level of access provided by the identification codes presented. The card reader has a programming mode, to allow a station manager to program the reader for presenting a programming code. The card reader system also has a degraded mode of operation, which allows user access after power fail and reader restart. A keypad having an interchangeable faceplate is used for all three modes of operation to provide communication and programming with the reader by the system user.
