Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for storing digitally printable security features used in the creation of secure documents and, more particularly, to a system and method for storing incomplete portions of digitally printable security features (used in the creation of secure documents) on different devices/systems, and for merging the incomplete portions to form a fully formed complete security feature for printing by a printer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method of securing a printer. The system includes a printer, having a nontransitory storage medium, configured to: store a password encrypted with a first encryption scheme; re-encrypt the stored password with a second encryption scheme upon a predetermined interval/event; receive a data stream from a host computer; determine whether the received data stream contains the password encrypted with the second encryption scheme; and print a document upon determining that the data stream contains the password encrypted with the second encryption scheme.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system used to ensure that a printer which is capable of printing security patterns loses its ability to print these patterns if the printer is disconnected from an approved system and, more particularly, to a method and system including a printer containing an encrypted key and password loaded into its memory, where the stored password must match a password present in a data stream sent from the host software application in order to print a requested print job.

Abstract: A supplemental wipe dispenser apparatus is removably attachable to a spool mounted paper roll. The apparatus includes a housing having an interior that contains a plurality of separately usable wipes or sheets (dry or pre-moistened). A dispensing opening on the housing enables a user to remove wipes or sheets from the housing. Left and right support arms on the housing each include a lower end portion attached to the housing and an upper end portion having a specially configured hanger that at least partially surrounds an opening. The hanger includes a first circumferentially extending portion having an inner edge, an outer edge, and a first free end portion. The hanger includes a second circumferentially extending portion having an inner edge, an outer edge, and a second free end. A gap is located in between the first and second free end portions.

Abstract: A secondary dispenser readily attachable to a standard toilet-tissue dispenser of a roll type for positioning next to the primary toilet-tissue dispenser for dispensing supplemental materials such as pre-wetted toilet sheets. The sheets can be withdrawn from an open door. A compact auxiliary device providing wetted or self-wetting sheets for releasable proximate mounting in conjunction with a conventional toilet-tissue dispenser of dry sheets; comprises an inexpensive container or magazine component pre-loaded with the supplemental sheets. The magazine can be snapped into functional position rapidly. It serves an improved health care and cleanliness function.

Abstract: A system and method for securing a data stream containing data to be embedded in a bar code. The system comprising a printer, having a nontransitory storage medium, configured to: receive a data stream from a host computer, the data stream having at least one trigger identifying at least one portion of data to be embedded in a bar code; identify each trigger in the received data stream; extract each data portion identified by the trigger; and print a secured bar code embedded with the extracted data portions.

Abstract: A system and method for securing a printer. The system including a server, comprising a nontransitory storage medium, storing program code configured to: receive a disconnect notice having a disconnect timestamp, the disconnect timestamp representing a time a printer was disconnected from a host computer; receive from a reader a request for validation, the request having a print timestamp derived from a security feature printed by the printer; compare the disconnect timestamp with the print timestamp to determine if the security feature was printed after printer was disconnected from the host computer.

Abstract: A system and method for embossing a media substrate used for secure transactions. The system includes, but is not limited to, a printer, having a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having program code for: storing a first plurality of security features, wherein the first plurality of security features comprise embossment features; printing a first embossment feature of the first plurality of security features on the media substrate upon a first predetermined interval; printing a second embossment feature of the first plurality of security features on the media substrate upon a second predetermined interval; and printing the first embossment feature and the second embossment feature on the media substrate of the first plurality of security features upon a third predetermined interval.

Abstract: Techniques for processing an IP packet at a router that supports SS7 signaling include receiving IP routing data that associates a network link and a destination IP address for a node in a signaling network that includes a plurality of signaling nodes. When an ingress IP data packet is received, it is determined whether conditions are satisfied for locally processing an SS7 payload within the ingress IP data packet. If it is determined that conditions are satisfied for locally processing the SS7 payload, then the SS7 payload is processed locally, i.e., without sending the SS7 payload over a network link to a different node in the signaling network. If it is determined that conditions are not satisfied for locally processing the SS7 payload, then the ingress IP data packet is routed normally. These techniques allow reduced numbers of expensive STP devices and expanded routing options in a signaling network.
