Title: Systems and methods for adaptive authentication
Inventor: HERNANDEZ HENDRICH M
IPC: G06F21/00
Filed: 2006-03-22
Granted: 2007-12-12
Abstract: The Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) defined in IETF RFC 3748 can support 256 authentication methods. When a device joins a network the access point offers various methods to the device until it finds a compatible one. This procedure can be time consuming. The inventive authentication server logs historical records of the authentication methods utilised by clients joining the network (514-516) and checks against this record when a request for authentication is received (502-504). It will initially try the most recently used method for the client device (506-508). If this fails (510, 518) it will then try the most often used method for the device (520-524). If this also fails (526-528) or if there is no historical data for the client device the system reverts to the trial and error process (530). The invention should, on average, select the correct authentication procedure in less attempts than the prior art, thereby reducing system latencies.

Title: Visual information system arrangements
Inventor: MARGETSON GUY EDWARD JOHN
IPC: G09F19/22
Filed: 1996-01-11
Granted: 1999-12-08
Abstract: A visual information system includes an array of light emitting elements located at the side of a train track. The elements are individually energizable by a controller in response to a predetermined program stored in a memory and representative of a predetermined visual image. The controller causes selected elements to be turned ON and OFF, some repetitively, in a predetermined sequence as dictated by the program with a time span of 0.015 seconds. A sensor activates the controller upon the approach of a train so that a passenger gazing at the array as the train passes will perceive the image apparently extending over an area substantially greater than the area of said array.
