Abstract: A scannable object is sensed and scanned. A map is constructed based on the scan results. The map is compared to one or more stored templates. Results of the comparison are provided. In some implementations, a secured processor may construct the map and may provide reduced resolution (and/or other versions that contain less information) versions of the map and/or the stored templates to one or more other processors. The one or more other processors may determine a match-set based on matching between the reduced resolution map and stored templates. The secured processor may then identify whether or not a match exists between the map and any stored template based on the match-set.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a marketplace for inter-network links between a high-altitude network and a terrestrial data network. An example method may involve a computer-based purchasing agent: (i) determining a demand for inter-network bandwidth between a high-altitude network and a terrestrial data network, (ii) determining one or more offers to provide an inter-network link, wherein the inter-network link provides inter-network bandwidth between the high-altitude network and the terrestrial data network, and wherein each offer is associated with a corresponding client device, (iii) based at least in part on a comparison of: (a) the demand for inter-network bandwidth and (b) the one or more offers to provide an inter-network link, selecting one or more of the offers to provide an inter-network link, and (iv) initiating a process to establish an inter-network link at each client device that corresponds to one of the one or more selected offers.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide improved techniques and devices for reducing transformer commutation distortion caused by large load currents. Traditional power supplies which have two or more phases typically commutate a transformer during the end of each phase. When the load current is large, energy stored in the transformer's leakage inductance can cause undesirable effects during commutation. Embodiments of the present invention reduce these effects by lowering the voltage across the primary side of the transformer prior to commutation. In one embodiment, a capacitor is added to the primary side of the transformer. A switch directs current through the capacitor prior to commutation, allowing the capacitor to absorb the transformer's leakage inductance energy and lower the primary side voltage. Other suitable components, such as resistors, diodes, transistors, or additional transformer windings, may also be used to reduce the primary-side voltage prior to commutation.
