Abstract: A device coupled to a smart card reader may request random data from a smart card inserted into the smart card reader, and the smart card reader may incorporate the random data into its randomness pool. A device having a source of random data may have a driver installed thereon for another device and the driver may extract random data from the source and transmit it securely over a wireless communication link to the other device. The other device, which may be a smart card reader, may incorporate the extracted random data into its randomness pool. A smart card reader may incorporate traffic received from a smart card inserted therein into its randomness pool.

Abstract: Communications between a computing device and a smart card reader configured for communication with a smart card are facilitated through the use, by the computing device, of a smart card resource manager and a smart card reader service. The smart card reader service acts as a relay for commands between the smart card resource manager and the smart card reader. Appropriate configuration of the smart card reader service obviates a redundant downloading of certificates from smart card to computing device subsequent to loss of a connection between the computing device and the smart card reader. However, upon re-establishing a previously lost connection to a smart card reader and determining that a communication link between a smart card and the smart card reader has been ended and reestablished during the loss of connection, the smart card reader service may indicate to the smart card resource manager that smart card is absent and, subsequently, that the smart card is present.

Abstract: A circuit board tester that uses a dual-stage translation to bring a unit under test (UUT) into physical and electric contact first with a series of tall probes, then with a series of short probes. Initially, the UUT is mounted on a support plate, and spaced apart from both the tall and short probes. First, in order to perform a functional test on the UUT, a first vacuum stage is engaged, and atmospheric pressure translates the UUT longitudinally until contact is made with a first hard stop, defining a first position. At this first position, the UUT is in contact with a series of tall probes, and is spaced apart from a series of short probes. After a function test is performed, a second vacuum stage is engaged in addition to, and independent of, the first vacuum stage. Atmospheric pressure translates the UUT longitudinally until contact is made with a second hard stop, defining a second position.

Abstract: The proposed solution relates to methods and systems for automatically synchronizing data between an email server and a handheld computing device based on an event occurring on a personal computer communicating with the server. A module in the personal computer monitors events in the operating system of the personal computer that signifies that the user is either away from the vicinity of the computer or is about to leave the computer. Upon detecting these events, the module initiates an automatic synchronization of data between the server and the handheld computing device. This way, emails which have already been seen or responded to by the user on the computer will appear as such on the handheld computing device.

Abstract: A wireless communications link may be made more secure by imposing additional security measures at the application level to create a secure channel. These measures are compatible with and transparent to any security measures which are applied at the link level. A secure keep-alive heartbeat may be created on the secure channel to ensure that both devices are within range and able to communicate throughout the connection.

Abstract: A system and method routes messages based on an intended recipient's availability to receive messages. Each network user's current status is determined by tracking when the user activates and deactivates an auto-reply feature. The user's current status, return date and alternate contact(s) are specified in the auto-reply and stored and updated on a user status server which periodically communicates to each user the current status information for each contact listed in that user's address book. When the current status information indicates that the intended recipient is unavailable, message routing options are presented to the sender. These options include sending the message to the user regardless of the intended recipient's current unavailability, not sending the message at all, routing the message to at least one specified alternate contact, sending the message to the intended recipient while sending a copy of the message to the alternate contact.

Abstract: A portable wireless user communication device is wirelessly coupled to a second device over a monitored link. If the link is lost or endangered, then a user alarm is activated at the portable wireless user device and/or at the second device to which it is linked (which may also be a portable electronic device). The type of monitoring and/or the type of alarming may be user selectable.
