Abstract: Card member apparatus, and an associated method, for storing and permitting selectable use of informational data associated with a subject. Identifying indicia stored at a first storage element, and the informational data is stored at a second storage element, together disposed upon a substrate, or otherwise supported to permit carriage by a subject. The card member is presented for reading at a card reader, and analysis is made of the identifying indicia stored at the storage element. If the identifying indicia is ascertained to correspond to the subject that carries the card member, permission is granted for the access to the informational data stored at the card member. The informational data, once accessed, is used pursuant to a transaction associated with the subject.

Abstract: An apparatus and an associated method facilitate analysis of events associated with a network system. Event occurrence items are compared with event rules of an event rule set to determine whether the items are potentially significant. If considered to be potentially significant, a scorer assigns a score to the event occurrence item to provide a relative indication of the potential significance of the event occurrence item.
