Title: Method and system for hybrid mail with distributed processing
Inventor: CARLIN PAUL N
IPC: G06Q10/08
Filed: 2001-04-12
Abstract: A method and system are provided for distributed processing of hybrid mail.  There are gateways, that collect and store variable data. There are also system management sites, having storage for fixed data. Also provided are mail production sites. The gateways may be dedicated or shared among customers, and collect variable data for mailings from the customers. The gateways group the data by geographic location, and transmit the variable data to one of the appropriate geographically located mail production facilities. The mail production facility sends a transmission to the system management site, responsive to receiving variable data from the gateway, requesting and receiving the corresponding fixed data. The mail production sites produce mail pieces, including said fixed data and the corresponding variable data. The finished mail pieces are further sorted and produced so as to take advantage of, for example, geographically grouped mailings.

Patent CA-2407037-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CAPPUCCIO LOUIS W
IPC: E01F9/04
Filed: 2002-10-09
Abstract: The present invention rotates to a stringline guide system for setting required vertical and horizontal distances, while laying out and preparing a road, sidewalk, driveway or similar construction surface. The system is adapted for use with string, twine, wire, fishing line, tubing, or other similarly and commonly used construction type lines. Circular collars are positioned on the marking rods or stakes of the system. The collars have internal and external surfaces and are mounted on the rods or stakes at and through their interior spaces. The collars are adjustably mounted on the rods by wing nuts extending through the collars to the rods. The collars have dual grooves which substantially encircle the exterior surface of the collar. The grooves are configured to accept and maintain the stringline, thus securing the lines in position on the collars. Stringlines with external diameters which approximate the width of the grooves can be compressed within the grooves for added securing ability. In an alternative embodiment, the collar can include transverse grooves which interconnect the dual grooves allowing the line to extend from one groove to another. The stringline system permits easy and ready adjustment of individual collars, which assists in the setting of proper distances.

Title: A portable device having biometrics-based authentication capabilities
Inventor: POO TENG PIN
IPC: G06F21/34
Filed: 2002-03-22
Abstract: Apparatus and method for implementing biometrics-based access control to a restricted resource. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention is realized using a portable device. Specifically, in one embodiment, the portable device includes a microprocessor, a non-volatile memory coupled thereto, and a biometrics-based authentication module controlled by the microprocessor. Preferably, the biometrics technology used is fingerprint authentication technology. The authentication module is capable of registering a gfingerprint upon firstuse of the portable device, storing an encoded version of the fingerprint in the non-volatile memory. Subsequently, the authentication module can read a person's fingerprint and reliably determine whether the fingerprint matches the registered fingerprint stored in the non-volatile memory. If a match is found, access to the restricted resource is granted to that person; otherwise, access is denied. Embodiments of the present invention thus provide a highly convenient, secured and reliable method and system for user authentication and access control which was not achievable in prior art password-based authentication approaches.
