Abstract: The present invention provides a new and useful paradigm in wide area imaging, in which wide area imaging is provided by a step/dwell/image capture process and system to capture images and produce from the captured images a wide area image. The image capture is by a sensor that has a predetermined image field and provides image capture at a predetermined frame capture rate, and by a motorized step and dwell sequence of the sensor, where image capture is during a dwell, and the step and dwell sequence of the sensor is synchronized with the image capture rate of the sensor.

Abstract: A method of identifying the fraudulent use of a cellular telephone includes the step of identifying an initial call made from the cellular telephone. An automated challenge-response authentication operation is then executed with a rotating subscriber query, resulting in a first authentication failure. In response to the first authentication failure, an operator assisted escalated challenge-response authentication operation is performed with a rotating subscriber query to generate a second authentication failure, indicating the fraudulent use of the cellular telephone.
