Remote identity proofing is the process of uniquely verifying an individual who is a party to an online transaction. This presents an enormous challenge to the secure delivery of government services as well as online commerce. The degree of difficulty is compounded when attempting to remotely authenticate for the first time a previously unknown individual. The High Assurance Remote Identity Proofing method introduces a holistic approach to solving this problem. A rich collection of identity data, when evaluated by multiple verification methods, can be aggregated to an identity assurance score, which is a measure of the uniqueness and authenticity of a claimed identity and ultimately provides a high assurance that someone attempting to remotely verify his or her identity is who he or she claims to be.

A portable dental prophylaxis and bleaching system is provided for simultaneous tooth polishing and bleaching. It includes an oscillatory driving handpiece, a dental angle with a disposable rubber cup assembly, a dual-component dispenser, and a disposable mouthpiece. The battery-powered handpiece transforms a continuous rotation through a driving cam into a rotary oscillation which is then transferred through the attached dental angle to the rubber cup with an obtuse angle at its distal output end. The dispenser is operated manually to correctly apportion and mix the dual treatment materials into the rubber cup. In order to provide longer shelf life and effective bleaching action, the treatment materials are maintained at optimal pH values in separate compartments within the dispenser before use. The disposable mouthpiece is shaped for easy access to the user's teeth while protecting the gum surfaces. The system can be used both in dental clinics and at home.

A method and apparatus for diffuse indirect lighting computation in a scene is described. An irradiance caching algorithm may be implemented in an indirect lighting module that sparsely computes irradiance in the environment and then interpolates irradiance values between these sparsely computed points. The method for diffuse indirect lighting computation may use cosine weighting in determining nearby sample irradiance points to be used in interpolation. If an object detected by a ray is directly overhead, embodiments may assume a significant amount of occlusion or indirect illumination of that surface point, and thus may weight the ray more heavily. If an object is off to the side, and thus at a shallow angle to a normal of the surface point under test, the ray is given less weight. By using cosine weighting, the indirect lighting module tends to space out sample irradiance points better around edges and cracks than conventional techniques.

The present invention determines whether fingerprint ridgeline information is contained within the fingerprint image using a simple method by considering the properties of the fingerprint ridgeline. In this fingerprint image evaluation method, a density is obtained of a reference point provided within the fingerprint image and a density is obtained of a comparison point that is shifted from the reference point by a predetermined distance. The amount of fingerprint ridgeline information contained within the fingerprint image is evaluated based upon a difference between the density of the reference point and the density of the comparison point. In this fingerprint image evaluation method, the characteristic of the fingerprint ridgeline, in which a fingerprint furrow line exists proximally to the fingerprint ridgeline, is utilized. Therefore, erroneous determinations can be prevented in which an image, which is not in fact a fingerprint image, is determined to be a fingerprint image. In addition, it is only required to obtain the density of the reference point and the density of the comparison point, and to calculated their difference. Therefore, time consuming processing is not necessary, such as is required to extract characteristic points from a fingerprint image.

An improved apparatus and method for fillet punch creep testing of a small specimen comprises, in one implementation, a testing unit secured to a top end and a bottom end of a structural support unit, and configured to conduct creep testing on a specimen. The testing unit includes a loading unit, a fillet punch unit, a thermal unit, and a measuring unit. A filleted punch of the fillet punch unit transfers an applied pressure from the loading unit to the specimen clamped between an upper die and a filleted lower die of the fillet punch unit while the thermal unit surrounds the fillet punch unit, and heats the specimen during testing. The optimized filleted edges on the filleted punch and the filleted lower die eliminate stress concentration against the specimen resulting in stable measurements, and thus, reduce the dispersion of applied load during creep testing. Finally, an application of a constant load on the filleted punch prevents dispersion in the measured data being analyzed by the measuring unit, and allows creep testing to be repeated to predict a remaining life of in-service parts of a system.
