20090106042 | SYSTEM FOR PRODUCT AUTHENTICATION BY MOBILE PHONE - An authentication system enabling a customer to verify the authenticity of a product in a foolproof, secure and simple manner. plurality of secret sets of numbers is generated, each set comprising a challenge portion and a response portion. These sets are stored on a remote server. Each set is associated with a different product. The customer sends a challenge portion to the server, and prompts the server to provide a response. If the response matches that of the product in hand, the product is known to be authentic. In another embodiment of the system, cellular transmission is used to power an electronic tag attached to the product and carrying authentication data. In a third embodiment, the full manufacturer database is divided into separate databases, possibly related to product vendor, such that an authentication process can be performed without the need to access the manufacturer's entire database of products. | 04-23-2009 |

20100079322 | High noise environment measurement technique - An electronic measurement system for extracting a small AC signal from a dominant DC background signal, which can be changing at a rate similar to that at which the desired signal changes. The invention is particularly useful for pulse rate measurement of a subject even while undergoing vigorous motion such as running, by means of pulse oximetry. The measurement technique utilizes a moving window for selecting a part of the input signal, and processing in an A/D converter, an offset part of the signal which falls within a range which covers the window. The method is also more generally employable to any measurement task, where the signal to be extracted is a small AC signal buried within a dominant DC or quasi-DC background, which itself can be changing, and even at a rate similar to that expected of the sought-after AC signal. | 04-01-2010 |
20130201316 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SERVER BASED CONTROL - A system and method in a building or vehicle for an actuator operation in response to a sensor according to a control logic, the system comprising a router or a gateway communicating with a device associated with the sensor and a device associated with the actuator over in-building or in-vehicle networks, and an external Internet-connected control server associated with the control logic implementing a PID closed linear control loop and communicating with the router over external network for controlling the in-building or in-vehicle phenomenon. The sensor may be a microphone or a camera, and the system may include voice or image processing as part of the control logic. A redundancy is used by using multiple sensors or actuators, or by using multiple data paths over the building or vehicle internal or external communication. The networks may be wired or wireless, and may be BAN, PAN, LAN, WAN, or home networks. | 08-08-2013 |
20130332588 | MAINTAINING APPLICATION PERFORMANCES UPON TRANSFER BETWEEN CLOUD SERVICES - Technologies are presented for tracking of used resources and ensuring a similar level of computing resources to be provided at a new cloud-based service provider for a migrating application, even if the new service provider has a different mix of resources. Computing resources in use by the migrating application and a level of used computing power may be identified. Each of the computing resources may be assigned a score according to an associated service level. An overall score generated as a weighted combination of the individual scores according to their influence on application processing and networking status may be used for comparison of service levels between an existing service provider and the new service provider to ensure the migrating application receives a similar performance level. Additionally, the individual and overall scores may be employed by the new service provider to properly allocate its resources to provide similar performance level. | 12-12-2013 |
20140143410 | MONITORING A PERFORMANCE OF A COMPUTING DEVICE - Technologies are generally described for systems, methods and devices configured to monitor a performance of a resource of a device. In some examples, a processor may receive an application code. The application code may include at least one application thread configured to implement at least one task for the application code. The application code may be configured to spawn a performance thread. The processor may execute the application thread on the computing device. The application thread may be configured to use at least one resource of the computing device. The processor may further execute the performance thread on the computing device. The performance thread may be configured to calculate a value relating to the resource. | 05-22-2014 |
20140330958 | COMPUTING DEVICE PERFORMANCE MONITOR - Technologies are generally described for systems, devices and methods effective to monitor performance of a computing device. A computing device may receive a specified counting rate. The computing device may count at the specified counting rate to generate a sequence of counting numbers. The computing device may identify a first output of a process, such as results from computations performed on data, and may identify a first counting number when the first output is identified. The computing device may identify a second output of the process, such as additional results from the computations, and may identify a second counting number when the second output is identified. The computing device may then determine whether an alert should be generated based on the first and second counting numbers such as when a difference between the first and second counting numbers exceeds a threshold value. | 11-06-2014 |
