Abstract: A system for aligning an aircraft-engaging end of a passenger boarding bridge to a doorway along a lateral surface of an aircraft includes a bridge controller for performing automated alignment of the aircraft-engaging end of the passenger boarding bridge to the doorway. A user interface is located aboard the aircraft for receiving, from a user aboard the aircraft, an input signal relating to a command for aborting automated alignment of the aircraft-engaging end of the passenger boarding bridge, and for providing data relating to the input signal. A transmitter is also located aboard the aircraft and in communication with the user interface, the transmitter for receiving the data relating to the input signal and for transmitting a first signal including the data relating to the input signal. Furthermore, a receiver is located at a location that is remote from the aircraft and is in communication with the bridge controller, for receiving the first signal and for providing to the bridge controller an electrical output signal relating to the first signal. During use, the bridge controller aborts an automated alignment process already in progress in dependence upon receiving the electrical output signal.

Abstract: Vertical alignment of a movable bridge with a doorway of an aircraft is achieved by moving a sensor disposed on the movable bridge in a generally downward direction so as to sense a position of an upper surface of the aircraft. The upper surface of the aircraft has a known elevational relationship relative to the doorway of the aircraft, which is used along with the sensed position to align an aircraft engaging portion of the movable bridge with the doorway. The method accommodates different heights of a same model of aircraft resulting from differences in the aircraft loads and is easily implemented using either contact or non-contact sensors.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for improving portability of secure encryption key data files. The method provides for re-securing key data files according to different security processes for mobility. For porting an encryption key secured using a fingerprint authentication process to a system having only a password authentication process, a user selects password authentication process, provides a fingerprint and is authorised, provides a new password and then the encryption key is accessed according to the fingerprint authentication process and secured according to the password authentication process. This allows the use of specialised security hardware at one location while retaining an ability to transport encryption keys in a secure fashion to other locations, which do not have similar security hardware.

Abstract: A fingerprint sensing system for providing data in dependence upon fingerprint information to a computer is disclosed. The system comprises an imaging device for capturing a fingerprint image. The fingerprint image is processed to provide associated data such as a portion of an encryption key. The associated data are secured prior to transmission by encoding into an image frame forming part of a video data signal. The data are encoded at predetermined locations within the image frame instead of image pixel data. The video data signal comprising the associated data are then transmitted to a computer. Upon receipt at the computer the received video data signal is processed to extract the encoded data from the predetermined locations within the image frame.

Abstract: An optical imaging device such as a fingerprint imager has a platen formed of a plurality of parallel prisms and a light source for illuminating a portion of the platen. An optical sensor is disposed so as to receive light from the light source reflected off a surface of the platen and directed toward the optical sensor. The platen is mounted moveable relative to the sensor so as to allow scanning of a fingertip in contact with the platen during relative motion of the platen and the sensor. Preferably, the platen is formed of a microprism structure.

Abstract: A fingerprint identifying device includes a transparent prism having a fingerprint receiving face, a fingerprint viewing face at an acute angle to the fingerprint receiving face, two opposed parallel faces perpendicular to the fingerprint receiving face and a further light-absorbing face generally opposite to the fingerprint viewing face. A light source in the form of a bank of LEDs is provided for transmitting light into the prism. A light diffuser is provided for light transmitted from the light source such that in operation diffused light is transmitted into the prism through both of the parallel faces and against the fingerprint receiving face to provide substantially uniform illumination of a finger contacting the fingerprint receiving face, a fingerprint image being visible through the fingerprint viewing face. Preferably, the bank of LEDs is disposed at the two opposed parallel faces adjacent to the fingerprint receiving face. It is also preferred if the light source extends above the plane of the fingerprint receiving face to illuminate the edges of a finger from outside of the prism.

Abstract: A method for guiding an aircraft toward a stopping position within an aircraft stand of an airport includes receiving a radio frequency (RF) signal from a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag that is carried by the aircraft. The RF signal comprises aircraft-type data that is retrievably stored in an integrated circuit of the RFID tag, the aircraft-type data being indicative of a type of the aircraft. A current location of the aircraft is sensed, and based on the aircraft-type data and the sensed current location of the aircraft, instructions are determined for guiding the aircraft from the current location thereof to a predetermined stopping position for the type of the aircraft. Using a visual docking guidance system (VDGS) associated with the aircraft stand, the instructions are displayed in human-intelligible form for being viewed by a user aboard the aircraft.

The system includes a sensor for sensing an orientation of a first passenger boarding bridge tunnel section when it is in an aligned condition with a first doorway of the aircraft, and for sensing an orientation of a second passenger boarding bridge tunnel section when it is in other than an aligned condition with the second doorway of the aircraft. The sensor is in communication with a controller. The controller is for receiving a signal from the sensor, and for determining the orientation of the first passenger boarding bridge tunnel section and the orientation of the second passenger boarding bridge tunnel section in dependence upon the signal. Based upon the determined orientation information, as well as stored information relating to a location of the second doorway relative to the first doorway, the controller determines a movement for moving the second passenger boarding bridge tunnel section into an aligned condition with the second doorway of the aircraft.
