20090021795MARKING IMAGES OF TEXT WITH SPECKLE PATTERNS FOR THEFT DETERRENCE - The present invention provides methods and apparatus for embedding an identifying pattern of visible speckles into the digitized image of each page of a document. A speckle is a cluster of black or white pixels. Speckles are printed as black speckles on the white paper, or conversely, as areas of missing black removed from the black text characters, called white speckles. The collective pattern of all embedded black and white speckles on a single document page is called a specklemark. A specklemark can survive contrast manipulations on photocopiers and binary rasterization done by fax scanning prior to data transmission. The random pattern of the black and white speckles visible in the digitized image of a document page can be detected automatically, and by systematically matching the detected pattern with those known to have been embedded into marked copies of a document page, a specific document copy can be identified. Methods for composing, embedding and detecting specklemarks are the subject of this patent.01-22-2009

20090044722Processing for producing zein articles with limited solubility - Zein articles are prepared by a melt process where zein is mixed with glyoxal and an inorganic base solution at temperatures above about 40° C. The melt processing can take as a batch process (e.g., as in a torque rheometer) or in a continuous process (e.g., as in reaction extrusion using a screw extruder). This process provides a zein article that has greatly reduced solubility in most of the standard organic solvents that will dissolve unaltered zein.02-19-2009

20110105823Medical Template Device and Method for Use in Positioning Therapeutic Probes at a Target Tissue - Medical template device and method for use in positioning therapeutic probes at a target tissue are provided. The template device includes a frame and a pierceable probe guide secured by the frame. The probe guide has a probe guide pattern such as a grid pattern, wherein the pierceable probe guide is capable of being pierced at any location along its surface by a therapeutic probe. In one embodiment, the pierceable probe guide is a film having a solid surface without any pre-formed apertures. This allows a physician to more accurately position the probes with narrower spacing.05-05-2011

20100122326Systems and Methods for State-Less Authentication - Systems and methods for providing user logon and state-less authentication are described in a distributed processing environment. Upon an attempted access by a user to an online resource, transaction, or record, a logon component asks the user to supply a logon ID and a password. The logon component verifies the provided information, and upon successful identification, a security context is constructed from information relevant to the user. The security context is sent to the user and is presented to the system each time the user attempts to invoke a new resource, such as a program object, transaction, record, or certified printer avoiding the need for repeated logon processing.05-13-2010
