Abstract: A system and method for generating a fingerprint of a data signal that
combines signature generation, encryption, and preferably random number
feedback, which may be employed both to secure data, and to validate secured
data to ensure that the data has not been tampered with by unauthorized users.
The system generates a fingerprint of a data signal (DATA_IN) which comprises
one or more data components (〈DATA_1〉···〈DATA_M〉). A first level
signature generator (202, 604) receives and generates a signature on at least one
of the data components to produce a first level signature. A first signal combiner
(204, 608) receives and combines a second set of the data components and the
first level signature into a combined signal. A data encryptor (206, 610) receives
the combined signal and generates an encrypted signal. A second level signature
generator (208, 612) receives the encrypted signal and generates the fingerprint.
The system may include at least one other first level signature generator (606)
which receives and generates a signature on a third set of data components to
produce at least one other first level signature, such that the first signal combiner
(608) also receives and combines the additional first level signature into the
combined signal. A random number generator (602) which generates a random
number for use by at least one portion (604, 606, 608, 610, 614) of the system
may be included to introduce randomness into the fingerprint. The system may
also include an encoder (614) which encodes the random number or a signature
of the random number into the fingerprint. The random number may also be
used in generating the first level signature or the combined signal.

Abstract: A post production processing application receives and manipulates
document print images, in particular to integrate postage printing and
accounting into the document finishing, without the need for a specialized
postage printing system. The post production processing application may run
on a main frame, together with the application(s) that generate the document
print images, or on some other computer platform. The post production
processing application calculates postage for each document and interacts with
a postage metering functionality to obtain digital tokens. Each token includes
an encrypted cipher for use in validating applied postage indicia. The mail
processing system uses the tokens to generate postage indicias, containing the
ciphers, during the subsequent document printing and finishing processes. The
meter functionality may reside in software (e.g. as part of the post production
processing application), in a meter device associated with and connected to the
platform that runs the post production processing application or in a remote
data center in communication with that platform. The mail processing system
may print the indicias on the documents or on envelopes that will carry the
documents.

Abstract: A new printing system is disclosed for drop on demand printing.
This printing mechanism divides the printing process into two stages; a drop
selection means to select drops to be printed which generates a difference in
meniscus position between selected drops and unselected drops of fluidized ink; and
a drop separation means, attracting the ink of said drops to a substrate, the
attraction being insufficient to overcome the surface tension of drops in an
unselected meniscus position but being sufficient to overcome the surface tension of
drops in a selected meniscus position so as to cause movement of the drops to the
substrate. The drop selection means can produce a difference in meniscus position
in the absence of the drop separation means. 
     The separation of drop selection means from drop separation means
significantly reduces the energy required to select which ink drops are to be printed.
Only the drop selection means must be driven by individual signals to each nozzle.
The drop separation means can be a field or condition applied simultaneously to all
nozzles.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods, systems and computer program products are disclosed that
optimize a programmed loop that stores pointer variables in an array in a card-marked heap.
These methods also optimize garbage collection operations on these pointer variables. Instead
of implementing a write-barrier in the body of a programmed loop, the loop is pararneterized.
This parameterization is associated with the pointer array stored in the heap. This
parameterization specifies the first and last modified elements in the array. It further specifies
the stride (which indicates how many elements are skipped to reach the next modified element
of the array). The parameterization is modified by successive loops that access the array.
During a garbage collection operation, the array's pararneterization is used to optimize the
process of locating modified elements in the array.

Abstract: For a world that has a portion of the world distant from the point of view of the
user represented in only two dimensions as a video on a video screen, when an object on
the video screen undergoes a trajectory that takes at least a portion of it to a location in
the world that is not represented by the video but instead is a location in the world that is
represented by computer graphics, in addition to being able to continue to see such an
object when it is rendered as computer graphics in the computer graphics part of the
world, i.e., popped out from the video, one is able to interact with such an object. Thus,
an object which pops out from a video into the computer graphics part of the world may
be "investigated" by a viewer of the world. For example, the user could enter a store
which popped out of the video, and engage in virtual shopping therein. The particular
store which is actually entered may be customized on a per user basis, e.g., as a function
of geography. When the proprietor of a virtual store, or his representative, e.g., electronic
agent, detects the avatar of one or more persons in the vicinity of the avatar of a store for
which such proprietor's store corresponds to the virtual store for such passing persons, a
message may be transmitted to such passing persons.
