Abstract: A method for improving the curvilinear running speed of railway vehicles and the small tilting system: when the railway vehicle is driven on a curve, the raising and falling of air springs on both sides of the railway vehicle are controlled by a control assembly to realize small tilting of the railway vehicle toward the inner side of the curve; the transverse component of gravity after the small tilting of the railway vehicle is used for balancing part of the centrifugal force and reducing the influence of the centrifugal force, thereby improving the curve driving speed of the railway vehicle; and at the same time, an adjustable torsion bar system is controlled to provide a unidirectional anti-rolling torque for preventing the railway vehicle from rolling toward the outer side of the curve without hindering the railway vehicle from tilting slightly toward the inner side of the curve.

Abstract: A method for camera processing using a camera application programming interface (API) is described. A processor executing the camera API may be configured to receive instructions that specify a use case for a camera pipeline, the use case defining at least one or more processing engines of a plurality of processing engines for processing image data with the camera pipeline, wherein the plurality of processing engines includes one or more of fixed-function image signal processing nodes internal to a camera processor and one or more processing engines external to the camera processor. The processor may be further configured to route image data to the one or more processing engines specified by the instructions, and return the results of processing the image data with the one or more processing engines to the application.

Abstract: A method for secure communication and printing, comprising: user entering user and destination information to host; authentication server producing, saving encryption key for the job, user, and destination information into database, and sending to host; host encrypting the job using encryption key and sending job to destination; user entering user and destination information to device; authentication server retrieving encryption key from database, and sending to device; and device decrypting the job using encryption key and releasing job. Authentication at both host and MFP sides disables unauthorized, malicious attack to a user's mailbox, and results in jobs to a mailbox having different dynamic encryption keys, and no password or mailbox PIN trafficking on network. Furthermore, host and MFP can be at different domains. Methods also include secrecy encrypting encryption key; hashing key generator using SHA1, MD5, etc.

Abstract: A method for secure printing, comprising: job-issuing user entering to job-issuing package user identification and access rights for job-receiving users, and destination print server; creating privilege table comprising allowable action profiles, and sending the print job with attached privilege table to print server; job-receiving user entering into MFP user identification and print server; MFP retrieving print job with the attached privilege table; and upon verifying legality of the action, releasing the print job. Job-receiving users in possibly different domains have access rights of print only, print and delete if last, and print and send acknowledgement back. Privilege table may contain user-specified threshold retention-period value which along with threshold capacity value is used to delete oldest jobs in print server.
