摘要:
A system integrates an intelligent storage switch with a flexible virtualization system to enable the intelligent storage switch to provide efficient service of file and block protocol data access requests for information stored on the system. A storage operating system executing on a storage system coupled to the switch implements the virtualization system to provide a unified view of storage to clients by logically organizing the information as named files, directories and logical unit numbers. The virtualization system may be embodied as a file system having a write allocator configured to provide a flexible block numbering policy to the storage switch that addresses volume management capabilities, such as storage virtualization.

A method of preventing fraud at a self-service terminal is described. The method comprises: receiving a signal from an electromagnetic sensor located in the vicinity of an electromagnetic signal transmitter; monitoring a drive signal being delivered to the electromagnetic signal transmitter; and comparing the drive signal with the electromagnetic sensor signal. The method then ascertains if a state of the electromagnetic sensor signal is inconsistent with a state of the drive signal; and triggers an alarm when the state of the electromagnetic sensor signal is inconsistent with a state of the drive signal.

An electromagnetic signal transmitter for fraud prevention in a self-service terminal is described. The electromagnetic signal transmitter comprises a plurality of coil drives. The plurality of coil drives may include a first inductive coil drive comprising a first pair of opposing poles; and a second inductive coil drive comprising a second pair of opposing poles, where the second pair of opposing poles are offset from the first pair of opposing poles in at least two dimensions.

A produce recognition method which uses hierarchical Bayesian learning and kernel combination, and which offers classification-oriented synergistic data integration from diverse sources. An example method includes providing a classifier having a plurality of inputs, each input being adapted to receive produce data of a different modality; mapping the produce data to the respective input of the classifier by a computer; for each input, independently operating on the data relating to that input to create a feature set by the computer; comparing each feature in the feature set to respective pre-trained data for that feature to produce a similarity description set; combining all similarity description sets using a dedicated weighting function to produce a composite similarity description by the computer; and deriving a plurality of class values from the composite similarity description to create a recognition result for the produce item by the computer.

Method and system for booting two or more computing systems from an operating system image. Image may be stored in persistent memory on a host computer in communication with remote computing systems. Remote systems boot in a read only fashion from operable system image. Remote computing systems may not include a hard drive, but store identifying information, function, services, file systems, etc. in volatile memory.

A system and method are provided for identifying a one- or multi-dimensional spatial code comprising a plurality of security tags with one or more characteristic emission profiles. The spatial codes are identified on the basis of the combined spatial and spectral information. The system for identifying such spatial codes is comprised of a beam source, a detector, and a processor. The method includes illuminating the code, recording the light emission at a plurality of wavelengths, decoding the spatial information, resolving the spectral profiles, and identifying the code based on the spatial and spectral information. The system and method are applicable to validating a spatial code.
摘要:
A method of deriving a cryptographic key from a token. The method comprises ascertaining an attribute of an emission from the token; processing the attribute to generate a seed; and deriving a cryptographic key from the seed. The attribute may be luminescence intensity values of a token. The method may be implemented by a self-service terminal, such as an automated teller machine.
摘要:
A reader for a secure tag. The reader comprises a first excitation source (such as one or more LEDs) that stimulates at least one transition in the secure tag. The reader also comprises a second excitation source that stimulates more transitions than were stimulated by the first excitation source. The reader has a detector for detecting luminescence from the secure tag in response to excitation from the first excitation source and in response to excitation from the second excitation source to ensure that luminescence is detected at a pre-determined wavelength in response to the second excitation source but not the first excitation source.
