Abstract: A method and apparatus is proposed for providing automatic user access authentication
of any user who is a member of a set of authorized users of a computer enterprise
from any one of a plurality of geographically dispersed user workstations, onto one
of a plurality of predetermined local security servers, through the use of a single log-on.
A person server resident on a local security server compares the user-provided
identification information to entries contained in a local authentication database. If
the person server finds a match, the user is granted access to the local security server.
If the person server does not find a match, the person server then searches a network
database to determine whether the entered user name is known to the enterprise. If
the person server finds a single user name matching the previously entered user name,
it returns the name of the local security server associated with the computer enterprise
whose local authentication database may have the information necessary for
allowing proper authentication of the user. Upon receiving the name of the newly-identified
server, the client then automatically retrieves the server's logical location
from a service mapping file and then repeats the authentication request to the new
local security server.

Abstract: Disclosed is the use of a polymer material in an optical
waveguide structure. The polymer material may be used in either the
cladding (120) or the core material (105) of an optical waveguide. The use of
polymer material as such is advantageous in that the index of
refraction of polymer material varies significantly with changing
temperature. The polymer material is subjected to a heating mechanism (205)

Abstract: An ocular biometer utilizing a light emitting source (7) and corresponding optics to illuminate areas of the eye in order to analyze the wavefront of t he reflected light. Aperture sharing elements, such as "hot mirrors" (4) are us ed to allow the eyes (1) to view the world, as the ocular biometer measures various characteristics of the eye such as the refractive (i.e., accommodative) state, the gaze angle and the pupil diameter at any instant o f time and continuously. Optical wavefront conditioning and wavefront sensing techniques are used to determine the refractive power of the eye and the instantaneous accommodative state. Reflected light is projected through a reticle (26) or plurality of reticles (26, 28). Spatial characteristics of t he resulting shadow pattern uniquely determine the characteristics of the eye. These shadow patterns can be measured directly or by causing a modulation of  the lines with a second identical reticle placed appropriately between the first and the imaging plane. The bright pupil and a Purkinje image may be us ed to compute the gaze angle (or, line-of-sight). A bright pupil on a dark background will provide the pupil diameter measurement. The ocular biometer can be configured in a binocular manner so that both eyes can be investigate d simultaneously for strabismus, stereopsis and convergence measurements. The depth of modulation of the modulated shadow pattern provides an indication o f the acuity of the ocular media and the retinal surface thus providing a mean s for screening such medical anomalies as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and cataracts.
