Abstract: Systems and methods for performing behavioral authentication of Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices are described. These methods may capture one or more behavioral characteristics of a specific USB device and may generate a device fingerprint based on the captured characteristics. When the USB device is plugged in again in the host device, the behavioral characteristics of the USB device may be re-captured and may be compared to those of the device fingerprint. If it is determined that such behavioral characteristics substantially match, authorization may be granted. In one example, timing characteristics may be used as behavioral characteristics, in which the timing of a series of transactions is sensed by the host device. A timing characteristic may include, for example, the time it takes the USB device to complete a transaction. The transactions are part of an enumeration process in some embodiments.

Abstract: The invention is an assist apparatus ideally used by the visually impaired. Within a housing unit is an identifier mechanism such as a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). The RFID generates a unique radio signal which is received by and triangulated by a group/grid of receivers within the building. The triangulation allows a computer to identify the position/location of the user for assistance or to generate a set of instructions for the visually impaired user to move to a specific location. The instructions are communicated to the user, ideally through a tactile interface, allowing the visually impaired to navigate in a strange environment.

Abstract: A system and method for managing workflow including the ability to manage system-level workflow strategy, manage individual workflow activity, and provide suggestions to optimize individual workflow activity, is provided. The system may provide suggestions to workers based on their schedules and activities that the workers have to perform. Users of the system may configure the criteria used in determining which suggestions to provide to workers. The system may refine the suggestions provided to workers based on feedback received regarding the suggestions previously provided.
