Abstract: An access control system (10) comprises a server (12) suitable for controlling access; a biometric signal sensor (11); and an interface device (13) suitable for hooking up with the server and with the sensor, access being authorized to a person associated with a reference signal. The server and the interface device manage a common parameter that takes different values over time, and, respectively a first and a second non-invertible transformation function, these functions being parametrized as a function of the common parameter. The sensor senses a biometric signal and provides it to the interface device. At the interface device level, a transformed biometric signal is obtained by applying the first function to an element from the group comprising a characteristic emanating from the sensed signal and the sensed signal, then transmitted (14) to the server. At the server level, a comparison of the transformed biometric signal with a comparison signal is performed, said comparison signal resulting from the application of the second function to an initial signal arising from the reference signal. Finally, a decision is made on the basis of the comparison as to whether access is authorized.

Title: Temperature-sensing and transmitting assemblies, programmable temperature sensor units, and methods of making and using them
Inventor: OWEN WILLIAM H
IPC: G01K7/00
Filed: 2007-06-02
Abstract: In an exemplary embodiment, a temperature sensor and a 4-20mA transmitter on a single flexible circuit subassembly with a separate housing suitable for use in industrial control or HVAC applications. In a preferred embodiment, a narrow flex circuit substrate includes a silicon diode-based surface-mount sensor at a sensor end, a surface-mount programmable transmitter IC on a flex circuit substrate in the transmitter section, conductive traces connecting the sensor to the transmitter IC, and two conductive pads at an output end for connecting the 4-20mA output to a pair of external wires. Additional traces on the flex subassembly are provided for testing and programming the transmitter IC and sensor. The sensor end of the flex subassembly is mounted in a metal sensor tube, filled and sealed in the same manner as RTD or thermistor sensors with leads are currently assembled for use in industrial control or HVAC applications. The sensor tube assembly is attached to a connection head following industry standard practices. A separate plastic housing, compliant with existing industrial control or HVAC industry standards for transmitters, is mounted in the connection head and is configured to hold the transmitter end of the flex circuit. A two position terminal block is used to connect external wires to the 4-20mA output pads. A programmable transmitter is used to calibrate both the sensor and transmitter which are mounted together on the same subassembly. This provides total system accuracy better than +/- 0.3°C over a 200°C span, compared to +/-.8°C accuracy for existing IEC class A RTD- based systems. The programmable transmitter reduces the component cost by eliminating the need for any high precision components in the system. Manufacturing and testing costs are reduced by fabricating, assembling, and testing many flex circuits together on one panel at the same time.

Inventor: HAAR HANS-PETER
IPC: A61B5/151
Filed: 2007-07-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for collecting samples of body fluids, comprising at least one lancet, which has a lancet body with at least two tips of different length. The device is characterized in that it has a selection means, with the aid of which only one tip is selected prior to the puncture procedure. This selection means can have different functions and shapes. The selection means is used to select one tip from a plurality of lancet tips of different lengths and to make only this tip available for use in the puncturing procedure. Since the various tips are mounted on a lancet body, it is possible to employ a buckling element, for example, to make only one lancet tip available for use, which buckling element buckles one of the various tips out from the plane of the lancet body. This is especially preferable in lancet tips that are arranged linearly in relation to one another.

Title: Bank issued contactless payment card used in transit fare collection
Inventor: DIXON PHIL
IPC: G06K19/06
Filed: 2007-12-04
Abstract: An architecture for a contactless smart card or payment device, where the smart card is intended for use in both commerce transaction payment and transit fare payment (or other venue access) environments. The payment device may function as both an electronic wallet for commerce transactions and as a transit system card, for access to and fare payment of transit services. Implementation of both functions may be achieved by use of a dynamic memory management system that permits data for both the payment and transit applications to be stored on the card, with the transit data and storage locations isolated from those used to store data intended for use in paying for commerce transactions. The transit application specific data may include access control data (keys, passwords, identification data) or data required for fare calculations (rates, historical data on system use), for example.
