Abstract: A method of enrolling a user at a biometric lockset is described. The method includes receiving user access information from a mobile device of an administrative user of the biometric lockset. The user access information indicates to the biometric lockset to enter an enrollment mode in which a user identity is associated with fingerprint data in a user entry within a memory of the biometric lockset. A plurality of different light codes are displayed on the lockset, each one of the plurality of light codes representative of a different state of fingerprint data capture. A message is transmitted to the mobile device, and corresponds to the light code displayed at the lockset. The completed fingerprint data is stored in association with the user identity of the user in the user entry.

Abstract: A method of database recovery includes starting a first database server, starting a second database server, starting a third database server, and starting an application server after starting the first database server, the second database server, and the third. The first, second, and third database servers are configured to store data according to first, second, and third database management systems, respectively, and the application server is configured to run application modules of a set of application modules. The method of database recovery further includes starting a search module, starting a product catalog management module, starting a web connectivity module after starting the search module, starting a graphical user interface module after starting the web connectivity module, and starting at least one business operations module.

Abstract: A tuning array selection circuit, together with a decoder and a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), can be employed to overcome some disadvantages of previous methods of phase locked loops. For example, a VCO can include a coarse tuning array and a fine tuning array. A coarse tuning array can be used to tune a VCO to generate a signal within a wide frequency range. A fine tuning array can be used to tune a VCO to generate a signal within a narrow frequency range. In one embodiment, the narrow frequency range is within the wide frequency range. The tuning array selection circuit can coordinate selection of appropriate fine tuning devices and narrow tuning devices to reduce transition jitter and the risk of fail locking of phase locked loops.

Abstract: An input device includes a plurality of orientation blocks each representing a portion of a catheter assembly and a controller configured to determine an orientation of the plurality of orientation blocks relative to one another. The controller is further configured to output a control signal that causes a tip of a catheter assembly to adopt the orientation determined by the controller. A system includes an actuator configured to manipulate a position and orientation of the catheter assembly. The controller of the input device is configured to output a control signal to the actuator to make a tip of a catheter assembly adopt the orientation determined by the controller. The input device can be virtually represented on a computing device.

Abstract: A signal testing apparatus is provided. The signal testing apparatus generally comprises a recording device that is configured to receive a plurality of signals representative of a plurality of electromagnetic waves that correspond to a pre-defined period of time. The recording device is further configured to record a plurality of digital representations of the signals such that each digital representation corresponds to a separate signal. A processing device is coupled to the recording device, wherein the processing device is configured to introduce at least one operational parameter to each of the digital representations. A play-back assembly is coupled to the recording device and to the processing device, wherein the play-back device is configured to play each of the digital representations simultaneously in real-time to facilitate verification of each of the signals.
