Abstract: The present invention provides a mechanism for efficiently displaying a web site and its content on a mobile device independent of whether the mobile device is connected or disconnected from the network. When the mobile device requests a server hosting the web site, the server compresses the page elements which compose the web site content. The server transmits the compressed page elements in response to the mobile device's request. The mobile device decompresses the page elements and locally stores the decompressed page elements. The mobile device displays the web site content which is locally stored when a user of the mobile device so requests.

Abstract: The method utilizes a passport identification number as an element of a homomorphic encryption used to stamp a passport with country entry/exit data to form a digital representation of a subset of information in the passport. As a result, exchange of the digital representation is permitted to allow a selective transfer of information without exposing a user-sensitive passport identification number. The homomorphic encryption comprises a support for exposing a trusted photo and a trusted group containing country travel entry and exit information. The digitally signed passport stamp may then be used to provide verification of the individual by ensuring linkage to that user's passport. The individual's identity and passport verification may occur unconnected, i.e., without having to connect to a central database.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for delivering a digital identity document. A request is received to purchase a digital identity document from a user by a system. An acquisition uniform resource locator (URL) with parameters corresponding to the identity of the user and the requested digital identity document is created and provided to the user. The user utilizes the received URL to communicate with an issuer to request the digital identity document. The system then receives the requested digital identity document in encrypted form from the issuer. The system then delivers the encrypted digital identity document to the user. In this manner, the system can deliver to the user an identity document in digital form that has been vetted as trusted in a secure manner thereby reducing the number of occurrences in providing improper identity documents as well as lessening the ability to generate falsified identity documents.

Additionally, the decryption key may be applied to the encrypted ID document to obtain a decryption result in response to a display request. The decryption result can be output via a display of the mobile device, wherein the encrypted ID document can be sent to a challenge terminal if a challenge request is received.

Embodiments of the present invention can access the server to test the published digital card template design using sample data and deploy the published digital card template design to an issuing service. Embodiments of the present invention can, responsive to receiving an acquisition URL from the issuing service, build an instance of a digital identification card from information included in the acquisition URL.

Abstract: The apparatus is designed to modify the quality of a beam of light while maximizing the amount of light directed along a desired trajectory. The light optimization device contains an aperture, a diffuser, a modifying substrate, and a mirror. The aperture enables light to travel through the mirror. The diffuser splits a single beam of light traveling towards the modifying substrate into multiple beams of light, which are traveling towards the modifying substrate. The modifying substrate becomes excited when struck by light, and then produces light with desired characteristics. The mirror reflects light that is generated by, or reflected off of, the modifying substrate, and traveling along suboptimal trajectories. As such, the reflected light is redirected towards the modifying substrate.

Abstract: A laser lighting device provides a broad range illumination for an area, such as a smoke filled space, a hallway or an underwater environment with certain turbidity. This lighting device contains a laser diode as a light source and a diffraction grating that is able to diffract an input laser light beam generated from the laser diode into a plurality of output laser light beams with the cross section of the plurality of output laser light beams forming a pattern comprising a plurality of light spots. In addition, this pattern may be in a donut shape. That is to say, the power of a light spot formed by a zero order light beam is lower than other light spots' power. Further, this laser lighting device is used to provide lighting with depth perception and forward visibility.

Abstract: Sensitive pieces of information stored on an individual's device can be protected using a device identification system that applies, for each sensitive piece of information, a function that integrates an identifier of the individual with a respective sensitive piece of information to create a respective identity element. Each identity element can be signed with a signature to create a trust group. The identity element and signature can be uploaded to the individual's device using an application that is configured to provide a subset of the sensitive pieces of information in response to a query.

Abstract: A system and method of generating perceived white light by laser. The system comprises a laser, a phosphoric substrate, and optionally a diffraction grating. In one embodiment, a blue laser beam from the laser penetrates the phosphoric substrate to create perceived white light in a Gaussian distribution appropriate for emergency lighting. In another embodiment, the blue laser beam is split into multiple beams by the diffraction grating. The multiple beams penetrate the phosphoric substrate to create perceived white light in a Gaussian distribution appropriate for emergency lighting.

Abstract: A method for detecting turbidity using coherent light uses a coherent light emitter such as a laser calibrated to emit a specific wavelength. A light sensor adjacent to the coherent light emitter monitors incoming light to detect the specific wavelength. The coherent light beam will not contact the light sensor unless reflected back to the light sensor, thus detecting the specific wavelength indicates turbidity caused by the presence of smoke, which reflects the coherent light beam back to the sensor. The magnitude of the specific frequency that is detected indicates the amount of smoke detected.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for privacy control. A unique identifier for each data element of a group of data elements (e.g., driver's license contains a group of data elements, such as name, driver's license number) is created. These identifiers may be stored along with documentation (e.g., label) of the associated data elements in a manifest file. Alternatively, the identifiers may be stored in a file outside of the manifest file. In this manner, by utilizing a data element identifier which corresponds to a random number, security of privacy information is improved as one would only be able to obtain such sensitive information by obtaining such an identifier. Furthermore, the user only needs to send the requested data elements, as opposed to all the data elements of the group of data elements, to the challenger. In this manner, the user is preserving the security of other privacy information.

Abstract: A first digital identification document is transmitted from an identification authority to a mobile device of an identified individual. This first digital identification document is digitally signed and includes a set of attributes about the identified individual. In the same manner, a second digital identification document is also transmitted to the identified individual's mobile device. The second digital identification document is also digitally signed but includes a different set of attributes about the identified individual. The identified individual is then confronted by a series of challengers, wherein each challenger requires a different amount of information about the identified individual. Based on the identity of each challenger, the identified individual selects an appropriate identification document and transmits it to the applicable challenger's device.
