A system for the detection of cardiac events occurring in a human patient is provided. At least two electrodes are included in the system for obtaining an electrical signal from a patient's heart. An electrical signal processor is electrically coupled to the electrodes for processing the electrical signal. The system determines the presence of a cardiovascular condition by applying a sliding scale rule to heart signal feature values. When the cardiovascular condition is ischemia, the ST segment may be analyzed. A sliding scale is applied to ST segment shifts such that when the magnitudes of ST segment shifts are relatively small, a larger number of beats is required to detect ischemia compared to the case when the magnitudes of ST shifts are large.

Providing access to a mobile user session in a manner that more closely corresponds access to network resources to the trustworthiness of authentication methods and devices associated with the mobile user session. Characteristics of authentication methods associated with a mobile user session are synthesized to generate an authentication bundle. Characteristics may include data associated with passwords, biometric data or devices used to execute an authentication method. By synthesizing characteristics in varied manners, a non-binary sliding scale of access to network resources may be generated. An authentication bundle may be accessed to grant a mobile user session appropriate access to network resources. Granting access may include generating an authorization token that is passed to a filter or reverse proxy. Access to network resources may be dynamically modified as authentication methods associated with a mobile user session change.

Methods and systems for authenticating a user and a consumer electronic device (CED) to a financial services provider (FSP) for purposes of communications initiated from the device and needing security, such as purchases and financial transactions, are provided. The FSP may compile information about a user's behavior from various sources, both public and private, including the CED. The information may be of a stochastic nature, being gathered by sampling user data and behavior at chosen times. The information may include indicators of user behavior—such as the user using the device to check various accounts and web-pages—and data from the device—such as GPS location. Based on the compiled stochastic information, and using a sliding scale, a throttling mechanism, acceptance variation, and pinging information, the FSP can compare current information from the device with what is known about the user and the device to provide a more accurate and reliable authentication process.

A system and method for managing relationships in a social network with independent multi-dimensional groupings, individualized privileges & interactive feedback. The contributing member can assign a privilege level from a sliding scale of at least three levels for each item of information, represented as C1, C2, C3, . . . CN. The contributing member then grants direct privilege levels as they make new friends or grants indirect privilege levels when they join groups or networks. When a requesting user (T) wishes to see contributed information, their privilege level (L) with respect to the contributing member is accessed. The system retrieves all items of information (C), and selectively displays those items of information which have been assigned a privilege level C1, C2, C3, . . . CN matching or less than the privilege level granted to the requesting member TL. A contributing member can also chose to allow ‘friends of friends’ to inherit the privilege level assigned to them by their friends so that ‘friends of friends’ can be granted access to their private information despite the lack of direct connection.

A mechanism is provided in which dynamic rules for Internet protocol addresses which should be inaccessible from an organization are determined. Keywords are entered into a search table. A sliding scale is established for the severity and frequency of possible filtered terms. For example, a term may be awarded a point value based on the severity and frequency of the term. An organizational policy may be established based upon the total number of points per document served from an Internet protocol address or an average point value for documents served from an Internet protocol address with respect to a threshold. The length of time or number of documents permitted before a decision is reached, namely a decision interval, may be established. A reset policy may be determined to dictate what actions will be taken after the decision interval is reached.

This invention provides a system and method of detecting and responding to individual vehicle exhaust emissions such that a vehicle producing exhaust emissions containing pollutants in excess of required standards is assessed a higher toll or other fees than non-offending vehicles. Upon correction of the problem when emissions are determined to be within acceptable ranges, the fees are re-adjusted. Vehicle fees can be assessed on a sliding scale regardless of “acceptable thresholds” whereupon a higher levels of pollution emitted by the vehicle require payment of a higher fee than that paid by a vehicle with a lower level. Sensors may be installed within individual vehicles, or may be externally mounted to detect emissions. The use of a computer program and program code may be used for collecting and quantifying the level of pollution in the emissions and for assessing a suitable fee based on the level.

A mechanism provides autonomic recovery for a breakout appliance at the edge of a mobile data network from a variety of errors using a combination of hardware, software and network recovery actions.

Control electronics can include addressing logic for addressing individual pixel circuits for reading accumulated charge from the pixel circuits. Imaging optimization can be achieved by determining maximum and minimum charge values for pixels for display, assigning extreme grey scale or color values to the maximum and minimum charge values and allocating grey scale or color values to an individual pixel according to a sliding scale between the extreme values. Scattered radiation can be detected and discarded by comparing the detected pixel value to a threshold value related to a minimum detected charge value expected for directly incident radiation and discarding detected pixel values less than said threshold value.
