Systems and methods for enciphering data are provided. In one embodiment, information is enciphered using a variable block length cipher that returns the encrypted symbol set in the same format as the plaintext symbol set. The cipher can be based on DES, AES or other block ciphers. In one example implementation a method for enciphering token information the invention provides for enciphering token information by constructing a tweak of a defined length using token information; converting the tweak to a bit string of a defined size to form a first parameter; converting a number of digits of plaintext to a byte string of a defined size to form a second parameter, wherein the number of digits converted varies; defining a data encryption standard key; applying the data encryption standard key to the first and second parameters; computing a specified number of encryption rounds; and receiving enciphered token information.

In one embodiment, information is enciphered using a variable block length cipher that returns the encrypted symbol set in any defined symbol set with a radix greater than or equal to the plaintext format. The cipher can be based on DES, AES or other block ciphers. In one example implementation a method for enciphering token information the invention provides for enciphering token information by constructing a tweak of a defined length using token information; converting the tweak to a bit string of a defined size to form a first parameter; converting a number of digits of plaintext to a byte string of a defined size to form a second parameter, wherein the number of digits converted varies; defining a data encryption standard key; applying the data encryption standard key to the first and second parameters; computing a specified number of encryption rounds; and receiving enciphered token information.

A security system includes machine readable passenger and employee wrist bracelets and baggage tags in conjunction with a computerized control system, electrically remotely actuated locks, alarms, and communications links to monitor and control the movement of passengers, employees, and baggage. The system prevents security breaches through lost security badges, misplaced keys, or access codes being given to or obtained by unauthorized individuals, and may include double doors having remotely actuated locks to selectively detain unauthorized individuals between a pair of locked double doors. The wrist bracelets and baggage tags are preferably constructed so as to be difficult to remove and may include electronic circuitry to provide an indication of tampering or removal. The system preferably includes a database associated with at least one data display and input terminal to maintain information pertaining to flight data, passenger data, employee data, baggage data, and facility data. The system may employ a relational type of database structure to provide convenient access to all types of data pertaining to a particular individual, flight, bag, or facility. The system may include GPS sensors to enable current real time display of status and location information associated with a particular bag, flight, or individual.

Apparatus (10) for generating motion around a remote center of motion (RCM), comprising a distal link (L12, LR) arranged to revolve about the remote center of motion and to translate through the remote center of motion, a proximal link (L10, LI) arranged to revolve about a proximal center of motion (LCM), coupled to a base link, through a rotational joint (150) and a sliding joint (181), a first mechanism comprising a first link (L9, BE) pivotally coupled to the proximal link (L10) and to the distal link (L12) and operable to transfer motion of the proximal link relative to the proximal center of motion to a motion of the distal link relative to the remote center of motion by maintaining a parallelogram (PAR1), and a second mechanism operable to move the first link with two degrees of freedom in a plane parallel to the plane of motion of the proximal link, characterised in that the second mechanism comprises one link or a serial connection of links (L4, L8, L3, L7, L2, L6) connecting the base link to the first link, configured to have an orientation of instant motion which is different from an orientation of instant motion of the proximal link (L10), relative to the base link.

The transaction card of the invention comprises a Card Verification Value (CVV) generator unit that generates a new CVV code each time the card user is invited to enter his CVV code, typically in a remote transaction. The CVV code is displayed on a screen on the transaction card. The screen can be a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen or any similar or newer display technology.

A data dependency path calculator for a semantic search engine is provided. A body of semantically related data is modeled according to a semantic data model. A user is presented a list of data elements from which they may select desired data elements. The system automatically calculates all of the possible paths through the database that may be used to retrieve meaningful data based on the selected data elements. The available data dependency paths are returned to the user for selection. The system further provides a type of data permission that allows restricted data elements to be used as a pass-through data element for relating, connecting and retrieving non-restricted data. Thus, a user can use restricted data to create data dependency paths to retrieve meaningful data. The system further provides for defining access privileges for all levels of data structures, allowing data to be secured with an increased level of granularity than previously possible.

Robotic and/or surgical devices, systems, and methods include kinematic linkage structures and associated control systems configured to facilitate preparation of the system for use. In some embodiments, actively driven joints will move a platform structure that supports multiple manipulators in response to movement of one of the manipulators, facilitating and expediting the arrangement of the overall system by moving those multiple manipulators as a unit into alignment with the workspace. Systems and methods are also provided to keep one, some, or all joints of the kinematic chain off a hardstop or physical range of motion limit associated with the joint or to otherwise maintain a desired range of motion for one, some, or all joints of the kinematic chain when exiting a set-up mode.

A system and method for masking a boot sequence by providing a dummy processor are provided. With the system and method, one of the processors of a multiprocessor system is chosen to be a boot processor. The other processors of the multiprocessor system execute masking code that generates electromagnetic and/or thermal signatures that mask the electromagnetic and/or thermal signatures of the actual boot processor. The execution of the masking code on the non-boot processors preferably generates electromagnetic and/or thermal signatures that approximate the signatures of the actual boot code execution on the boot processor. One of the non-boot processors is selected to execute masking code that is different from the other masking code sequence to thereby generate a electromagnetic and/or thermal signature that appears to be unique from an external monitoring perspective.

The soft weight strength trainer includes a selectively fillable pouch with a strap positioned so that a person can fit a hand or foot in-between the strap and the fillable pouch. The soft weight strength trainer can be utilized in a variety of exercises that strengthen various muscle groups. None of the exercises that are performed with the soft weight strength trainer require a close fisted grip, which makes the soft weight strength trainer ideal for use by a person with reduced hand strength due to age or injury. Additionally, the soft weight strength trainer will not cause damage or injury if inadvertently dropped due to its non-rigid construction.
