Abstract:

A solid-state imager is mounted at a point-of-transaction workstation for capturing images of diverse targets useful for customer identification, customer payment validation, and operator surveillance. The imager is manually or automatically triggered and is operated at high speed to resist image blurring due to relative movement between the target and the imager.

International Classification:

G06F 21/00

US Classification:

726 2

Abstract:

A method to regulate access to a health record of an individual includes receiving a request from an application, the request identifying an item in the health record to which access is requested. The method further includes presenting the request to a marshal of the health record via a user interface and receiving a response from the marshal of the health record via the user interface, the response indicating whether access to the item is authorized or withheld. The method further includes granting the application access to the item if the response indicates that access to the item is authorized, and denying access to the item from the application if the response indicates that access to the item is withheld.

US Classification:

713176, 726 26, 709217

Abstract:

The described implementations relate to secure and verifiable data handling. One implementation can receive a request to upload information, wherein the information includes a referencing element and at least one blob of referenced data. This implementation can also receive a chunk of an individual blob. The chunk can include multiple blocks. Individual blocks can be hashed. Upon receipt of an indication that all chunks have been uploaded, this implementation can create an overall hash of the information from the block hashes rather than from the information.

International Classification:

G06Q 50/00

US Classification:

705 3

Abstract:

The described implementations relate to updating views in a database system. One implementation can identify an active view that retrieves records from a database and determine one or more physical tables in the database that are referenced by the active view. The implementation can track one or more columns in the physical tables that are used by the active view and identify a change to the physical tables in a transaction log of the database. If the change does not affect the one or more columns, the change can be treated as an ignorable change for the active view.
