Title: Synchronizing database and non-database resources
Inventor: DAWSON ERIKA MARIANNA
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2010-10-08
Abstract: A system to synchronize a database and a non-database resource includes an application to transmit a request to a service provider to perform an action. The service provider receives the request and performs the action, the action not being under commit coordination. The service provider further inserts an entry into an action-reversal table to reverse the action and makes the insertion permanent. The service provider, on behalf of the application, then deletes the entry from the action-reversal table. The application may then be configured to perform one of the following: (1) make the delete permanent by performing a COMMIT; and (2) roll back the delete by performing a ROLLBACK. At a later time, the service provider may reverse the action in the event the entry remains in the action-reversal table. Corresponding methods and articles of manufacture (i.e., computer-readable media) are also disclosed herein.

Title: Synthetic latent fingerprint images
Inventor: KIRWAN THOMAS
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2014-06-06
Abstract: A method of manipulating a fingerprint image, with associated feature points, to create a synthetic latent fingerprint image. The method comprises; receiving an original image 2; transforming the initial image 4 onto the background of a synthetic image, but using different transformations on separate regions of the fingerprint; using the same transformations for each associated region, to map the original position features 6 to the correct points on the synthetic image; outputting 8 the synthetic latent fingerprint image. The transformations may include resizing, rotating, smearing, or adding image noise. An original image may be used to generate one or more different synthetic images, which in turn may each be used to generate more. Feature points may include pores, dots, incipient ridges, ridge end protrusions, or minutiae, which in turn may comprise ridge endings, ridge bifurcations, short ridges, islands, spurs or crossovers.
