20130093136 | JAM SENSING AT DOCUMENT FEEDING STATION - A method for preventing damage to a document by a document transport apparatus provides a member for receiving the document as a stack of sheets to be serial fed to a feeding station. At least two spaced-apart microphones are disposed at the feeding station and responsive to audio to produce signals representing audio energy received by each microphone respectively. The energy received from each microphone is compared to determine if it is ambient noise or if it indicates that two attached sheets are being fed or a single sheet is being damaged. The document transport apparatus is shut off to prevent damage to documents when it has been determined that two attached sheets are being fed or that a single sheet is being damaged. | 04-18-2013 |

20080246917 | Common face and iris imaging optics - A duplex camera with common face and iris imaging optics locates an iris in a scene and images the iris without requiring multiple camera alignment or a rapid zoom capability. A wavelength selective mirror separates the light from an imaged scene into visible and infrared components. The visible component supplies a face image in which an iris location can be determined. Visible light optics and a visible light sensor array provide a scene image to an image processor that determines the iris location. Infrared optics and an infrared sensor produce an iris image centered on the iris location. Upon determining an iris location, a motorized stage can position the iris image in the infrared sensor. The common face and imaging optics allow the image sensors to be permanently aligned to one another. | 10-09-2008 |
20080273547 | Apparatus and method for acknowledging successful transmissions in a wireless communication system - An initiating device in a wireless network transmits a data message to at least three responding devices. None, one, some, or all of the responding devices may successfully receive the data message. Any responding device that successfully receives the data message sends an acknowledgement to the initiating device, which may or may not receive the acknowledgement. The responding devices may use any suitable technique to determine an order in which the acknowledgements are communicated to the initiating device, such as by using an ordering of the network addresses of the responding devices. With adequate spatial and angular separation of the responding devices from the perspective of the initiating device, the likelihood of a lost (unsuccessfully received) data message in the wireless network can be reduced significantly. This may be useful, for example, in industrial process control systems used to control industrial processes. | 11-06-2008 |
20080277601 | Eye-safe near infra-red imaging illumination method and system - A method and system for eye-safe near infra-red (NIR) optical imaging illumination. An eye of an intended subject are imaged with visible light or NIR light at an unconditionally eye-safe illumination level and the maximum permissible eye-safe NIR illumination that can be applied to the eye is determined from the captured images. The eye of the intended subject can then be illuminated with at least one substantially maximal NIR light pulse having a pulse intensity and duration selected to provide the substantially maximum permissible eye-safe NIR illumination intensity at the eye. NIR light pulse illumination can be inhibited in response to detection of other subjects either within the vicinity of a volume extending between an NIR illuminator illuminating the eye and the intended subject. The likelihood that an intended subject has been recently illuminated can also be determined and statistical measures can be used to avoid re-illuminating subject unnecessarily. | 11-13-2008 |
20090292913 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR COUNTER-BASED COMMUNICATIONS IN WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS AND OTHER NETWORKS - A method includes wirelessly receiving a message at a receiving node. The method also includes extracting a partial counter value from the message, where the partial counter value represents a subset of bits from a complete counter value of a transmitting node. The method further includes decrypting and authenticating the message based on the partial counter value. Decrypting and authenticating the message could include examining a bitmap to identify a bit value associated with the partial counter value, decrypting and authenticating the message if the identified bit value has a first value, and discarding the message if the identified bit value has a second value. Decrypting and authenticating the message could also include identifying at least one complete counter value at the receiving node based on the partial counter value and attempting to decrypt and authenticate the message using the at least one complete counter value. | 11-26-2009 |
