Abstract: Apparatus, and a method for its use, for automatically verifying the identity
of a person seeking access to a protected property that is remotely located with respect
to the apparatus, such as a remotely located computer file or building alarm system. The
apparatus, which is disclosed in the form of a handheld device (14) or other portable
device (14'), includes a sensor (16) for reading biometric data, such as a fingerprint
image, from the person, and a correlator (28) for comparing the sensed data with a
previously stored reference image (32) and for determining whether there is a match. If
there is a match, the device (14) initiates an exchange of signals over a communication
network, with the "door" (10) that protects the property. Specifically, the device (14)
generates a numerical value, such as a cyclic redundancy code, from the stored
reference image (32), encrypts the numerical value, and transmits it to the door (10) as
confirmation of the person's identity. For further security, the person registers this
numerical value at each door (10) to which access is desired. Upon receipt of identity
confirmation from the device (14), the door (10) compares the received numerical value
with the one stored during registration, before granting access to the protected property.

Abstract: A catalytic converter of an engine, such as might be found in an automotive
engine system, is capable of being quickly and electrically heated in order to reduce
pollution emissions during critical cold start conditions. During cold start conditions, i.e.
upon starting the engine, for a predetermined period of time the catalytic converter
directly receives electrical power  via  a quick heating path connecting a catalyst power
switch to the catalytic converter. Following the predetermined period of time after which
the catalytic converter has been electrically heated, the catalyst power switch is
connected to a junction block, such as a starter motor assembly, of the automotive
engine system  via  a normal path.

Abstract: In an audio/video server (100) blocks of data are read from a storage medium (110) by a reader (180) and supplied to users in the form of data streams. The storage medium (110) comprises a plurality of record-carrier based storage units (102, 104, 106, 108). A reader (180) reads a batch of data units from a storage unit in a single relative movement of a reading head of the storage unit with respect to the record-carrier of the storage unit. A scheduler (170) controls reading of blocks from the storage medium (110) by determining from which storage unit(s) data unit(s) need to be read for the block and placing a corresponding carrier access request in a read queue. The scheduler (170) extracts for each of the storage units a batch of carrier access requests from the queue and issues the batch to the reader (180) in an asynchronous manner, in response to the reader (180) having substantially completed reading data units for a previous batch for the storage unit.
