  • Patent number: 6233588
    Abstract: A system for controlling access in multiple regions is provided in which each region comprises one or more sites having building areas to which access is controlled. The system includes multiple regional databases, where each regional database is associated with one of the regions, and a master database storing system information, cardholder information and access control information. A master computer system is coupled to the master database, and a regional computer system, capable of data communication to the master computer system, is coupled to each of the regional databases. Initially, the master computer system downloads the system information and cardholder information from the master database to each of the regional databases, and each regional computer system uploads the access control information from its regional database to the master database to provide the stored access control information for the region at the master database.

  • Patent number: 5533148
    Abstract: A method for restructuring information stored in physical design image form, such as an image of a layer in a semiconductor package, into a hierarchical area specification model useful in automated design applications. The restructuring results in recognizing identical patterns in the image and storing common information about the patterns in a single location to decrease storage space required and improve access efficiency by design application programs needing the information. Parameters controlling the method can be adjusted to produce a hierarchical model that is particularly suited to the needs of a particular application program.
