An LED polarimeter is described which is suitable for measuring the stress in photoelastic materials. The polarimeter comprises a sequential arrangement of an LED light source, a first polarizer, a ¼ wave plate, and a second polarizer substantially aligned along a central axis. The relatively monochromatic LED light source essentially eliminates errors caused by chromatic abberations and heat damage to the polarizing film. Preferrably, the LED light source emits in the green region of the visible spectrum to take advantage of the sensitivity of the human eye to this part of the spectrum.

An injection device including a housing for containing a syringe having a bore extending from an end surface, a needle communicating with the bore through the end surface and a dispensing piston movable in said bore towards said end surface so as to expel the contents of the syringe through the needle, the housing having an opening at one end through which the needle may extend, a resilient member for biassing the syringe and the needle inwardly off the housing, a first coupling element moveable towards said one end so as to move the needle of the syringe out of the opening and to move the dispensing piston of the syringe towards the end surface, a mechanism operable to release the syringe such that the needle moves inwardly off the housing, a drive coupling for extending from said first coupling element to the dispensing piston of the syringe so as to transfer movement of said first coupling element to the dispensing piston wherein the mechanism is triggered to release the syringe and includes components to delay release of the syringe until a predetermined period after being triggered such that it can be ensured that the dispensing piston reaches the end surface before the syringe is released and/or the mechanism includes an inertial mass moveable with the first coupling element and drive coupling and a release member actuable by the inertial mass to release the syringe such that when the dispensing piston releases the end surface of the syringe and the first coupling element and drive coupling stop moving, the inertial mass continues to move so as to actuate the release member to release the syringe.

A system for coordinating the submission and processing of a bill according to predictive payment data of a plan. The system comprises a provider interface and an integrated database for receiving a predictive payment plan submitted from the provider interface. The system also has a predictive payment request of the plan storable in the database, the request including a plurality of predictive payment parameters. An adjudication engine is coupled to the integrated database, and an insertion function is used for inserting the predictive payment parameters, when stored in the database, into an adjudication rule set of the adjudication engine. The adjudication rule set is used for eventual adjudication of the predictive payment data, wherein adjudication of the predictive payment data results in the generation of the bill. The system also has a workflow engine coupled to the integrated database for coordinating the processing of the electronic bill and for updating the bill information in response to the bill processing. A management system is coupled to the integrated database for monitoring the contents of the integrated database accessible by the provider interface, wherein the provider can coordinate real-time retrieval of submission and status details for bill information contained in the integrated database.
摘要:
Alphabetic filtering of the speech recognition of words uses a key press to indicate a desired character in an alphabetic filter string, where each key press represents two or more letters. The key presses can be disambiguated by recognizing a key-disambiguation utterance in association with a given key press. A user can select a desired recognition candidate from a choice list produced by such filtered word recognition. Ambiguous alphabetic filtering can be performed iteratively in response to the addition of successive ambiguous key presses. A user can select to re-recognize the utterance using filtering based on ambiguous key input after seeing the results of recognition without such filtering. Unambiguous alphabetic filtering can be performed by using multiple presses of an ambiguous key to disambiguate which letter is intended. A user can select between entering text by either large vocabulary speech recognition or by spelling text by pressing phone keys.

摘要:
The combination key sets in mm fabrication are identified by a single color and SAE (American Standard) with a different color. Each Key has been printed in the number corresponding to the size of the logo with a different color for each color code. The Ratchet combination Key has an arrow and the numbers go in the same direction indicating the direction in which it should be used. On one side are green to tighten and on the other are red to loosen. Additionally, each key set has protective coverings that are also matched and coordinated by colors.

A hardware-based digital random number generator is provided. In one embodiment, a processor includes a digital random number generator (DRNG) to condition entropy data provided by an entropy source, to generate a plurality of deterministic random bit (DRB) strings, and to generate a plurality of nondeterministic random bit (NRB) strings, and an execution unit coupled to the DRNG, in response to a first instruction to read a seed value, to retrieve one of the NRB strings from the DRNG and to store the NRB string in a destination register specified by the first instruction.
摘要:
A method and device for securely provisioning trust anchors includes generating a database wrapper key as a function of computing device hardware. The database wrapper key encrypts a key database when it is not in use by a trusted execution environment and may be generated using a Physical Unclonable Function (PUF). A local computing device establishes a secure connection and security protocols with a remote computing device. In establishing the secure connection, the local computing device and remote computing device may exchange and/or authenticate cryptographic keys, including Enhanced Privacy Identification (EPID) keys, and establish a session key and device identifier(s). One or more trust anchors are then provisioned depending on whether unilateral, bilateral, or multilateral trust is established. The local computing device may act as a group or domain controller in establishing multilateral trust. Any of the devices may also require user presence to be verified.

Embodiments of methods, systems, and storage medium associated with providing access to encrypted data for authorized users are disclosed herein. In one instance, the method may include obtaining a derived value for an authenticated user based on user personalization data of the authenticated user, and generating a user-specific encryption key based on the derived value. The derived value may have entropy in excess of a predetermined level. The user-specific encryption key may enable the authenticated user to access the encrypted data stored at the storage device. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
