Communications methods and appliances are described. According to one embodiment, a communications method includes prior to deployment of an appliance, establishing a trusted association between the appliance and a certificate authority, during deployment of the appliance, associating the appliance with a communications address of a communications medium, using the certificate authority, creating a signed certificate including the communications address of the appliance, announcing the signed certificate using the appliance, after the announcing, extracting the communications address of the appliance from the signed certificate, and after the extracting, verifying the communications address of the appliance.

Communications methods and appliances

An exemplary method for configuring a device to enable it to become a member of an established network comprises reading, using a portable device, a first token of a networked device, obtaining configuration data based on the first token, reading a second token of a non-networked device, establishing a communication session with the non-networked device based on the second token, and providing the configuration data to the non-networked device to enable it to become a member of the same network as the networked device.

Configuring devices in a secured network

An input image () having a first pixel resolution is acquired from an image capture system (). A respective characterization of each of at least one visual quality feature of the input image () is determined. An output thumbnail image () is produced from the input image (). The output thumbnail image () reflects the respective characterization of each visual quality feature. The output thumbnail image () has a second pixel resolution lower than the first pixel resolution. The output thumbnail image () is output in association with operation of the image capture system ().

Thumbnail based image quality inspection

Systems and methods for securing a document for transmission are discussed. In one embodiment, a document is checked for an indication of confidentiality. The document is then passed to a secure driver, in response to a finding of the indication of confidentiality. The document is passed to a non-secure driver, in response to a failure to find the indication of confidentiality. The document is then transmitted after processing by the secure driver or the non-secure driver.

A presentation output system includes a digital computer network, one or more job submission clients, and a job store. The job store accepts and holds output jobs from the plurality of job submission clients. The presentation output system further includes one or more presentation output devices that pull the output jobs from the job store for outputting.

Pull based computer output devices

A scent control system for use in a hunting blind enclosure includes an exhaust conduit adapted to exhaust air from the hunting blind enclosure and an air driver in fluid communication with the exhaust conduit. The air driver is operable to intake air from within the enclosure and exhaust air through the exhaust conduit and is further adapted to provide a negative air pressure within the enclosure relative to an air pressure outside of the enclosure. A filter disposed between an outlet of the air driver and the exhaust conduit filters human scent from air being exhausted from the enclosure.

A monitoring method and apparatus for a component-based software system operating over one or more processing devices are provided according to the invention. The method includes the steps of initiating an invocation of a second software component from within an execution of a first software component. A stub start log data is recorded in an instrumented stub before the invocation of the second software component. A stub end log data is recorded in the instrumented stub after a response is received from the invocation of the second software component. The stub start log data and the stub end log data gather runtime information about execution of the second software component within the component-based software system. The monitoring is capable of gathering log data across a plurality of threads, across a plurality of processes, and across a plurality of processors. The log data may be retrieved and analyzed to produce timing latency information, shared resource usage information, application semantics information, and causality relationship information.

An accessory device is directly connected in a non-networked manner to an electronic device. The accessory device is to be used by a web application running on a computing device connected to the electronic device over a network. The accessory device has a shared context or an owned context. The shared context specifies that usage of the accessory device is shared among the web application and one or more other web applications. The owned context specifies that the usage of the accessory device is exclusive to the web application and not to any other web application.

An exemplary method for providing secure access to resources at shared appliances comprises obtaining an instruction from a first user to send a resource to a secure repository, the resource being associated with a first identifier, receiving a second identifier from a shared appliance, determining a pseudo identity associated with the shared appliance based on the second identifier, granting to the shared appliance permissions associated with the pseudo identity, including a permission to retrieve the resource from the secure repository, receiving the first identifier from a second user at the shared appliance, and enabling the shared appliance to provide the resource to the second user at the shared appliance.

Secure access of resources at shared appliances

The present invention includes as one embodiment an ink jet printhead having a circuit with plural resistors and a power bus. The printhead includes a metal stack formed within the circuit, which is comprised of a first metal layer and a second metal layer and at least one power via. The power via is formed within the circuit as an interface between the first metal layer and the second metal layer and acts as a separation barrier between conductive portions of the resistors and the power bus.

Circuit routing for printhead having increased corrosion resistance

In a method for testing a component of a distributed system, a first invocation request is sent to the component, where the first invocation request includes an identifier. A second invocation request is sent to a second component, where the second invocation request carries the identifier from the first invocation request. In addition, the second component switches behavior based upon the identifier, where the switching of behavior of the second component is employed to test the component.

A system for object discovery in heterogeneous object systems includes a fixed object system having a registry. A callee object having a rendezvous name is registered in the registry of the fixed object system under the rendezvous name. The system also includes an adaptive object system having a remote procedure call protocol abstraction layer. The remote procedure call protocol abstraction layer is configured to access the registry of the fixed object system.

A Very Local Area Network (VLAN) comprises a power strip device having an electrical connector for connection to an AC power supply line and one or more surge protectors and line filters. Multiple electrical power outlet sockets receive plugs from electrical appliances. A communications pathway interconnects the multiple electrical power outlet sockets to enable communication between appliances connected to the sockets. Electronics configure appliances as they are connected to the sockets to enable them to communicate over the communications pathway.
