20090300212 | HEURISTICS PROCESSING - The invention provides a mechanism for a transaction coordinator to indicate to a transaction participant that it supports a heuristic outcome, where a course of action has occurred which means that the transaction participant is unable to honor a transactional prior commitment to the transaction coordinator. The mechanism is such that a transaction participant that is incapable of communicating a heuristic outcome may ignore any such indication. A transaction participant may be incapable because it does not understand the concept of a heuristic outcome at all or because it does not have the ability to inform the transaction coordinator that a heuristic outcome has occurred. | 12-03-2009 |
20140046849 | HEURISTICS PROCESSING - An indication is provided to a transaction participant as part of a message originating from a transaction coordinator. The message indicates that the transaction coordinator supports a heuristic response. The transaction coordinator coordinates commitment of transactions as requested by an application in response to a determination by the transaction participant of a heuristic outcome. Heuristic outcomes include situations where transaction participants determine they are unable to honor transactional prior prepared commitments made to the transaction coordinator during first prepare phases of two-phase commits associated with the transactions. The heuristic response is received from the transaction participant in association with a transaction coordinated by the transaction coordinator and indicates that the transaction participant is unable to honor a transactional prior prepared commitment made by the transaction participant during a first prepare phase of a two-phase commit associated with the transaction coordinated by the transaction coordinator as requested by the application. | 02-13-2014 |

20100153270 | AUTHENTICATION OF MESSAGE RECIPIENTS - A user receives a message via a network service platform at their mobile handset. The user is required to input a PIN, password or other authentication data, before the received message is displayed. The service platform generates a partial encryption key and embeds this within a message which is subsequently encrypted and transmitted to the receiving device. The receiving device or handset receives the message and decrypts it using a previously stored pseudo-random seed, combined with a user entered PIN. The receiving device or handset extracts the partial key delivered with the message and uses this key data to generate a new pseudo-random seed which, in turn, is used to generate a sequence of characters in apparently random order. This sequence of characters or numbers is presented in a text-only form with a cursor or other highlighting method selecting the first character in the pseudo-random sequence. The user is then able enter their PIN by using cursor control keys, such as the right/left keys. The device or handset validates the data entry, assuming that the secure data is valid, displays the message content. | 06-17-2010 |

20130232549 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SECURING NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS - A method for securing communications in a communications network between a first network component (e.g. user's device) and a second network component (e.g. service apparatus). At the first network component a first data set represents user-perceptible content which is reproduced for perception and selection by a user of the first network component. The method includes forming a network communications link between the first network component and the second network component subject to conditions requiring at least that a user input is received at the first network component indicating selection of the reproduced user-perceptible content by the user. The first data set is then replaced at the first network component with replacement data to represent the user-perceptible content for perception and selection by a user of the first network component in subsequently so forming a said communications link. | 09-05-2013 |

20120069354 | Vision recognition system for produce labeling - A vision recognition system is provided for use with a high speed, automatic produce labeling machine. The system uses laser profiling to direct a sheet of light transversely to the longitudinal axis of a produce feed conveyor. The sheet of light periodically impacts, and generates laser profiles of, the surfaces of the produce items, such as pears, being fed by the conveyor to one or more labeling machines. The laser profiles are used to generate real world (x,y) coordinates of the domes of the incoming produce items, which are passed to the labeling machine or machines. Real world height (or z) coordinates may also be created and passed to the labeler. | 03-22-2012 |
