An anti-theft tag deterring theft of a ring is provided. The anti-theft tag includes an elongated housing for accommodating an EAS marker, a product support member that locks into the housing and which supports the ring, and a flexible, tear resistant strap for securing the ring to the support member, the strap being disposed at least partially within the housing during use. In one embodiment, the support member includes an arcuate seat portion for supporting a circular shank portion of the ring, and a locking member that locks into a corresponding cavity in the housing. In use, the tear resistant strap extends over the ring shank, and the strap ends are received within the cavity of the housing to protect the strap from unauthorized removal by a consumer.

A solute concentration measurement device is disclosed. The device may comprise a filter membrane, an exchange chamber, a sensing chamber, a separator, and a sensor. The device may be configured to be placed in fluid communication with a sample solution containing a solute and a solvent. The filter membrane may provide selective fluid communication between the solution and the exchange chamber. The separator may separate the exchange chamber from the sensing chamber and cause a change in a condition of the sensing chamber corresponding to a change of a condition of the exchange chamber. The sensor may sense the condition pertaining to the sensing chamber and calculate the concentration of the sample solution corresponding to this change.

A method is disclosed by which a customer places an order for the provision of a service with one of one or more vendors that utilize electronic ordering terminals to process service orders, by transmitting information between the customer's computer and a server. The disclosed method comprising the steps of associating with each vendor a plurality of coordinate points defining the vertices of a polygonal geographic region within which region the vendor provides service, receiving information from a customer indicating the location to which service is to be provided; converting the received information into a coordinate point indicating the point to which service is to be provided; selecting each of the defined polygonal geographic regions that encompass the customer coordinate point; identifying the vendors associated with the selected polygonal geographic regions; choosing the vendor with which the order is to be placed, and placing an order with the chosen vendor.

A system and method provide efficient, secure and highly reliable authentication for transaction processing and/or access control applications in which only biometric input is required from the user. A Personal Digital Key stores a biometric profile that comprises a representation of physical or behavioral characteristics that are uniquely associated with an individual that owns and carries the PDK. The PDK wirelessly transmits the biometric profile over a secure wireless transaction to a Reader for use in a biometric authentication process. The Reader compares the received biometric profile to a biometric input acquired at the point of transaction in order to determine if the transaction should be authorized.

Methods and systems are disclosed related to optical elements. An apparatus for making an optical device can be configured to divide an angular pattern into a plurality of sub-angular regions. Then, micro-wedge configurations can be determined for directing light to the sub-angular regions. Subsequently, an array of micro-wedges can be generated according to the micro-wedge configurations, such that adjacent micro-wedges in the array have different configurations.

Various technologies and techniques are disclosed that improve text rendering contrast. The shape of one or more characters is converted from an original format, such as a vector format received from a font, to an overscaled bitmap format. The width of the shape of the character is adjusted based on a text contrast setting. For example, the width of the shape can be adjusted by extending a right or other edge of the shape by the number of pixels corresponding to the numerical value of the text contrast setting. The shape is made wider or thinner based on the text contrast setting. A filtering procedure is used to determine density values for how the shape corresponds to a set of screen pixels. The density values are blended with color values related to the display device to form a modified shape ready for output. The modified shape is then displayed.
