Abstract: Generators, systems, and methods can comprise a resistance temperature detector (RTD) module; a controller area network (CAN) module; and an optical interface between the RTD module and the CAN module. The optical interface can be directly connected to each of the RTD module and the CAN module. The RTD module can be configured to convert first optical signals from the optical interface to first RTD signals and to convert second RTD signals to second optical signals for transmission through the optical interface to the CAN module. The CAN module can be configured to convert the second optical signals from the optical interface to first CAN signals and to convert second CAN signals to the first optical signals for transmission through the optical interface to the resistance temperature detector (RTD) module.

Abstract: A workflow container is established that is associated with a profile, where the profile specifies a set of actions. A set of data items can be received in the workflow container, and multiple actions can be performed on the set of data items based on the profile. In implementing the workflow, one example provides or a first set of operations are performed for a given data item in parallel with a second set of operations. The first set of operations communicate the first data item to at least a first destination, and the second set of operations communicate the given data item to at least a second destination.

Abstract: A method relating to ascertaining and adjusting friction between media pages in a document feeder. The method includes: detecting slipping of a media page when traversing from a stack of media pages to passing through a path defined by the document feeder; and sending a signal to a fluid-containing cartridge to spray small drops of fluid onto the slipping media page soon after the slipping is detected while the media page passes through the document feeder. A system and apparatus are also associated with the above method.

Abstract: An apparatus for recording physiological data from an ambulatory subject. The apparatus includes a sensor circuit configured to detect input analog signals including input analog signals resulting from eye movement of the ambulatory subject, and a signal processing circuit, in communication with the sensor circuit, configured to receive the input analog signals and to generate an output digital signal based at least in part on the received input analog signals. The apparatus has physical characteristics suitable for portable use by the ambulatory subject.

Abstract: An imaging system comprises a scanning device adapted to scan a front surface of a media object and an automatic document feeder (ADF) adapted to scan a back surface of the media object. The system also comprises a universal serial bus (USB) hub adapted to transfer data between the scanning device and the ADF to facilitate scanning of the media object.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for improving the efficiency of testing a process by focusing the testing in the highest risk areas of the process. One application of this computer-implemented system and method is in software testing to improve the effectiveness of software testing by focusing the testing efforts on the parts of the software that have a highest risk of failure and also by focusing the testing on the types of tests needed to reduce the risk.

Abstract: A device for facilitating the simultaneous synchronization of wireless devices such as Palm computing devices is disclosed. A host computer system running proprietary synchronization software is connected to multiple wireless device connection nodes. The computer system manages synchronization with multiple wireless devices simultaneously. During the synchronization process, data can be (i) transmitted from a central store to all wireless devices connected, (ii) from a central store to certain wireless devices connected based on pre-defined parameters, (iii) from all wireless devices to a central store, and (iv) from certain wireless devices to a central store based on pre-defined parameters.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to a system for protecting content stored on a storage medium device. The system may comprise: a processor for executing code to access a user password and a recorded serial number; a storage medium device, the storage medium device being operable to return its associated serial number, and the storage medium device providing a device interface that requires the password to access data stored on the storage medium device; and code for booting the system, wherein the code for booting comprises: code for requesting the storage medium device to return its associated serial number; code for comparing the serial number returned by the storage medium device against the recorded serial number; and code for providing the user password to the storage medium device when the code for comparing determines that the serial number returned by the storage medium device matches the recorded serial number.
