Abstract: Message transformation rules for integration platforms are represented in a computing system using transformation rule trees of objects in map object models. The transformation rule tree is an intermediate representation of the transformation rule. The objects in the tree are instantiated from classes of one or more message transformation class hierarchies. Some example classes include iterator statement, conditional statement, and expression classes. Some example expression classes include constant, variable, function, and selector classes. In a message transformation architecture, transformation rules map incoming message schemas to outgoing message schemas. Transformation engines transform incoming messages to outgoing messages by applying the map object models to select data fragments of an incoming message and construct an outgoing message, from the fragments and from computational results of routines invoked on the fragments.

Abstract: A message transformation program consisting of key-value pairs that represent executable instructions is used to transform data exchanged in messages having different message formats and schemas between two enterprises with an enterprise integration system. The message transformation program is written in a programming language having program constructs that enable a developer to generate a message transformation program to transform data between disparate message formats and schemas regardless of the message format and schema used in a message.

Abstract: According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, a fingerprint verification device is provided, comprising a fingerprint image sensor and a processing unit, the fingerprint verification device being configured to operate in a first resolution mode and in a second resolution mode, wherein the first resolution is higher than the second resolution, the fingerprint verification device further being configured to operate in a verification mode in which: the fingerprint image sensor captures a fingerprint image in the second resolution mode and the processing unit processes the captured fingerprint image; the processing unit selects one or more areas of the captured fingerprint image; the fingerprint image sensor recaptures the selected areas in the first resolution mode and the processing unit processes the recaptured selected areas.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to sensing apparatuses and methods. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, analog signals are obtained from a plurality of sensors and used to provide an output for particular ones of the sensors as follows. Analog signals are obtained from a particular sensor and one or more adjacent sensors. Different weighting factors are applied to the analog signals, based on the position of the sensor or sensors. The signals with the weighting factors applied thereto are combined to provide an output signal.

Abstract: A real-time pixel correction algorithm is proposed for on-the-fly repair of pixel information from dead or disturbed pixels from a pixel array. The algorithm can be used for both CCD and CMOS imagers.
