Abstract: A method and system for recognizing and verifying the identity of a driver and front seat passenger of a vehicle. A vehicle owner uploads profile data for several individuals who may be a driver or passenger to a database in the vehicle. When a driver or passenger enters the vehicle, the system uses the profile data—which can include height, weight, and gender information about the individual—along with vehicle data such as seat position, to identify the driver or passenger from the database. The profile data for the known individual is then used to adjust the position of the seat and other components in the cockpit. The profile data is also used by various safety and convenience systems onboard the vehicle.

Abstract: A multi-level security system includes a storage medium partitionable into a plurality of partitions, a file system coupleable to the plurality of partitions, and a plurality of enclaves. Each enclave is assigned a security classification level. Each enclave resides in a different storage partition of the storage medium.

Cryptographic separation occurs at the disk block level, allowing individual blocks to be read and decrypted. The system also includes a reference monitor that enforces a system security policy that governs access to information between the enclaves. The reference monitor allows an enclave having a first classification level to securely read-down to an enclave having a second classification level lower than the first classification level and to write to another enclave having the first classification level.

Abstract: A stub of a via formed in a printed circuit board is backdrilled to a predetermined depth. A capacitance probe is positioned within the via. Then the capacitance probe is used to obtain a test capacitance measurement. The test capacitance measurement is compared to a predetermined baseline capacitance measurement. Residual conductive plating material in the backdrilled stub causes the test capacitance measurement to exceed the predetermined baseline capacitance measurement. An indication is made that the predetermined baseline capacitance measurement has been exceeded.
