The disclosed invention relates to an apparatus and method for making secured transactions. Such an apparatus may include a smart card device configured with a display for display a static or dynamic number for making a secured transaction. The display is configured to display a valid card number after the user's identify has been verified using a biometric verification process. The device may further comprise a programmable magnetic strip that is programmed with user data after the user's identify has been verified. The apparatus may further include a cloning process to allow a second device to perform secure transactions. One such second device is a smart module associated with a vehicle.

A technique for authenticating a first party to a second party is applicable to electronic transactions. In addition to employing personal passwords, and a device operational parameter fingerprint, two signatures are employed, one being characteristic of the first party, and the other being associated with the computer or communications device of the first party. The signatures mutate at random intervals, responsive to mutation requests made by the device of first party to the device employed by the second party. The mutated signatures invalidate previous signatures, and are stored in the computing or communications devices of both parties. The mutation process authenticates the computer or communication device, and may also authenticate the password holder.

In connection with a project in which a user generates a predictive model based on historical data about a system being modeled, and in which the project includes a series of user choice points and actions or parameter settings that govern the generation of the model based on rules, which direct the user to select and apply an optimal model.

An enhanced transfer framework for source or process verified products, in which, from disparate selling entities, event data is received certifying that animals separately processed by the disparate entities each satisfy requirements associated with source or process verified animal products, and the animals are aggregated for sale as a group of certified source or process verified animals. As the group, the sale of the certified source or process verified animals is effected to a purchasing entity, the event data that identifies the disparate selling entities is filtered out, and the filtered event data is transferred to the purchasing entity.

A system and method for ontology-enhanced traceability in design and management applications employ ontology nodes embedded in a processor executable traceability link (network) coupling processor executable requirement modules to processor executable engineering object modules to facilitate in all stages of engineering object development. The engineering object development occurs through multiple models of computation, control, and visualization platform networked together via ontology-enhanced traceability mechanism. Processor executable design rule checking module embedded in the design concept nodes creates a pathway for the development process validation and verification at early stages of the object lifecycle. Linking of ontologies/meta-models is performed for the purposes of supporting ontology-enabled traceability across multiple domains.

In a rule-based system for monitoring process adherence, first and second processing patterns are received and merged to provide a merged processing pattern. Each processing pattern, which may be expressed in a state graph representation, embodies at least a portion of a desired software code development process. Optionally, the merged processing pattern may be presented to a subject-matter expert to obtain feedback thereon. The merged processing pattern may then be converted into an executable process verification rule for use in monitoring process adherence. In an embodiment, development process event data is compared to the executable process verification rules. Violations of the rules result in the generation of failure indications that may be stored and subsequently reported as needed. In this manner, efficiency of automated process adherence monitoring systems may be improved when determining the level of compliance by developers with one or more software code development processes.

Electronically received data is validated based on a digital data image that is scanned from a paper document. Known paper document source entities, paper document types and associated paper document configuration information are stored in a database. The paper documents are converted to digital data images and optically processed to identify respective source entity and document type information represented within the digital data images. Appropriate document configuration information is retrieved based on association with the detected type of document. Validation target data is extracted from the digital data images based on the configuration information and processed. The electronically received data is validated based on the extracted and processed validation target data.

The present invention provides a laser drilling system for drilling holes or cavities in a solid, in particular a solid dosage form. The system includes a loading zone, firing zone, inspection zone and delivery zone. The system also includes optional components such as a process validation system, solids detector, color detector, solids rejection/repositioning means, accepted products receptacle, rejected products receptacle and/or solids inspection system. Operation of the laser device in the firing zone and of other optional equipment is synchronized with movement of a continuous solids indexer by way of an electronic synchronizer. A solids handling system includes an optional fill level detector that directly or indirectly controls solids loading means that fills a solids reservoir. The system can be run continuously, semicontinuously or batchwise. A solids rejection system in the system provides for reduced solids loss as compared to other laser drilling systems and solids recovery rates of 100% can be achieved.

Manufacturing and industrial processes that involve the transfer of materials from source locations to destination location may utilize the presently described system and process to verify that the correct physical connections are established and maintained in a material handling system. The system collects information related to individual physical connections, including machine-identifiable indicia, and compares this information to data that defines the intended connections within the material handling system. In doing so, the system and process verify whether the proper physical connections are in place.

A method for building risk-management workflows (‘Step A’), comprising several risk analysis tools seamless integrated (‘Step B’), to be applied to process design, process and equipment qualification, manufacturing stages and supply management (‘Step C’) of multi-step processing of chemical, pharmaceutical or biologic products (‘Step D’), for risk identification, assessment, mitigation and management over lifecycle (‘Step E’), thus supporting ongoing process verifications, product quality reviews, and knowledge-based process and product continuous improvement (‘Step F’). Workflows (‘Step A’) can be specific of certain stages (‘Step C’), products (‘Step D’), production equipment or facilities used to produce products, but can and should be combined to support the lifecycle management aspects of steps ‘E’ and ‘F’. The use of workflows (‘Step A’) with ‘Step B’ features combined, supports the type of activities in steps ‘E’ and ‘F’, provides a knowledge-management framework (‘Step F’) applicable across multiple products and platform technologies, that supports a science-based justification to decisions taken at defined lifecycle stages (‘Step C’).

A human machine interface enables human users to interact with a machine by inputting auditory and/or textual data. The interface and corresponding method perform efficient look up of words, corresponding to inputted human data, which are stored in a domain database. The robustness of a speech synthesis engine is enhanced by updating the deployed pronunciation vocabulary dynamically. The architecture of the preferred embodiment of the former method includes a combination of ensemble matching, clustering, and rearrangement methods. The latter method involves retrieving suggested phonetic pronunciations for words unknown to the speech synthesis engine and verifying those through a manual or autonomous process.
