Abstract: A system for optimizing at least one of a design, production, or testing process of a product in a mass manufacturing process includes: a central processing unit; a network interface operatively connected to the central processing unit; a storage device; a memory including logic for execution by the central processing unit, wherein the logic includes: a server handler made up of a client applet and a client interface servlet which are configured for enabling authorized end-user communication; an error data collection handler configured for gathering error data; an error data classification handler; an analysis handler; a suggested actions report handler; and the system further includes a server database configured for storing, modifying, and deleting data.

Abstract: Compression of message headers. A message including an uncompressed header, a message including a compressed header or a request to support header compression is received. In response, a determination of the impact of header compression on performance is determined. If the determination is favorable, then header compression is supported for subsequent communications. However, if the determination is not favorable, then header compression is not supported for subsequent communications. If the impact of header compression on performance is determined to be favorable, then an identifier for a reference header is returned. The identifier is for use in a subsequent compressed header. The subsequent compressed header comprises the identifier and changes relative to the reference header. A server receives a message including a compressed header. The server determines whether it has sufficient memory or storage to support header compression.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of optimizing at least one of a design, production and testing process in a mass manufacturing process includes steps of: collecting error data relating to a product; classifying the error data into categories of symptoms; mapping the symptom to a revealing condition of the product; mapping the revealing condition to a test type; mapping a scope of a fix to phases of error injection mapping; and recommending modifications to an end user for at least one of the design, production, delivery, and testing process based on the scope of the fix.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of optimizing at least one production or testing processes in a mass manufacturing industry, includes steps of: collecting error data relating to a product at a plurality of points along its production and distribution chain; classifying the error data into categories of errors to provide classified error data; analyzing relationships among the classified error data; and suggesting modifications to at least one of the production or testing processes based on the analysis.

Abstract: A system and method to schedule data for transmission. The system comprises data generating means, developing means, and transmission scheduling means. The data generating means generates data comprising content data and metadata relating to the content data. The developing means develops a set of input data. The transmission scheduling means produces a continuously updating schedule for transmission of copies of the content data based on the metadata and the set of input data.

Abstract: A document printer includes an authenticity verifier for examining an electronic document to verify predetermined authentication information in the electronic document. The authentication information may be an electronic signature, or a digital watermark. The authenticity verifier may be included in the printer controller, and examines the authentication information of the document to verify that the document is unchanged from when it was transmitted by the source computer, and for authenticating the source of the document. If the authenticity verifier confirms the authentication information, the printer automatically performs one print function, such as printing the document with an authentication mark. If the authenticity verifier does not confirm the authentication information, the printer automatically performs a different print function, such as not printing the document, or printing the document with an authenticity warning.
