| 20080201578 | Computer security using visual authentication - A physical token to the user in the form of a unique card having a grid of images thereon. Each column and row of images has a unique text string of text. In addition, each user knows a special image, not necessarily present on the token card, on which one particular point or zone functions as an extra authentication feature. Users may be queried for a username, then shown a random one of the images on their card, and asked for the row text string plus column text string identifying the image. Users are also prompted to select their particular point or zone within their known special image, which is displayed, among a jumble of other images, by the computer system requesting authorization, such display serving to authenticate the computer system to the user. The system may be combined with password protection and methods to identify a user's machine. | 08-21-2008 |

| 20090089029 | ENHANCED EXECUTION SPEED TO IMPROVE SIMULATION PERFORMANCE - Systems and methods are provided to facilitate simulation(s) of components of an industrial control system. Simulation(s) execution time can be decreased by conducting the simulation in a parallel computing platform, and coupling the simulation with an optimization component that restructures the simulation code. Such automated reconfiguration removes inhibitors for parallelism, resulting in optimized code to execute the simulation, with the ensuing reduction in execution time. Execution time can also be reduced by applying an adaptive time step during state propagations that are part of the simulation. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090089030 | DISTRIBUTED SIMULATION AND SYNCHRONIZATION - System(s) and method(s) facilitate a distributed simulation of an industrial control system. A model of the industrial control system is generated and computing resources are scheduled for simulating portions of a simulation according to the model. Computing resources are scheduled to mitigate computational bottlenecks in the simulation and synchronize portions of the simulation deployed in disparate computing resources. Sub-processes of a control process can be simulated in dedicated computing resources as a part of a distributed simulation of the control process. Execution time of one or more portions of a distributed simulation can be increased or slowed down to synchronize said portions. | 04-02-2009 |
