Methods and associated systems for enterprise-wide issuance of identification cards. A single enterprise server component and a plurality of card issuance machine controller components are distributed over an enterprise network. Each card machine controller component controls one or more devices for the production of identification cards including, for example, embossed and / or digitally encoded information. The single enterprise server component acts as a server to route the card issuance requests to the proper card machine controller component on behalf of client programs at each location used to request the production of an identification card. The enterprise server component further provides enhanced security and encryption to provide requisite security in the exchange of sensitive information in the production of such identification cards. An administrative component, which can be used anywhere on the network, provides centralized management of common data used by the server, card machine controllers and client programs in the production of identification cards. The administrative component also provides for centralized administration of the plurality of PCs, card issuance machines and software components to permit easy re-assignment of future production requests for purposes of management and / or for end user convenience.

The computerized method and apparatus for mobile device interactivity includes hosting a network application on a server. The method and apparatus further includes receiving, at the application on the server, an event message from a mobile application executing on a mobile device, the application having executable code embedded therein for communicating with the network information for presenting a user interface for the network application on the mobile device, the event message reporting an action taken via the user interface. The method and apparatus further including executing application logic within the network application to generate data values based on the action reported in the event message and mobile device information and sending to the mobile device an update message with at least some of the generated data values and instructions for use by the executable code to present the data values within the user interface at the mobile device.

A master cylinder device includes: a first pressurizing piston including a main body portion which defines a first pressurizing chamber for pressurizing a brake fluid, and a flange portion which is formed around an outer circumference of the main body portion and in front of which there is defined an opposing chamber; and an input piston which can be shrunk by operating a brake pedal. The master cylinder device further includes an electromagnetic open / close valve for making the opposing chamber and the inter-piston chamber communicate with a reservoir, and an electromagnetic open / close valve for prohibiting the shrink of the input piston. The master cylinder device with such a structure allows a pressurization of the brake fluid depending on an operation force in a state in which the shrink of the input piston is prohibited.
