Disclosed are a pixel unit, and an imaging method and apparatus thereof. The pixel has a first and a second pixel sub-portion each comprising one or more photodiodes; one or more transfer transistors each coupled to a floating diffusion, for transferring the charges generated by the one or more photodiodes in response to incident light during an exposure period and accumulated in the photodiode during said exposure period respectively to the floating diffusion; a reset transistor; and a source follower transistor coupled to the floating diffusion for amplifying and outputting the pixel signal of the floating diffusion. In some embodiments, the pixel further includes a capacitor and a gain control transistor.

A system and method for controlling distribution and use of digital identity representations ('DIRs') increases security, usability, and oversight of DIR use. A DIR stored on a first device may be obtained by a second device for use in satisfying the security policy of a relying party. Release of the DIR to the second device requires permission from a device or entity that may be different from the device or entity attempting to access the relying party. Further, the use of the DIR to obtain an identity token may separately require permission of even a different person or entity and may be conditioned upon receiving satisfactory information relating to the intended use of the DIR (e.g., the name of the relying party, type of operation being attempted, etc.). By controlling the distribution and use of DIRs, security of the principal's identity and supervisory control over a principal's activities are enhanced.

The intuitive display of trace historical data in a manner that processing control transfer between processing entities is represented in the context of trace data from multiple processing entities. For each processing entity, a set of one or more trace entries are identified for that processing entity and displayed in a manner that the trace entries for the processing entity are shown associated with the processing entity. The transfer of control between processing entities is also shown in a manner that illustrates a transfer of processing control.
