International Classification:

G06K 1906

US Classification:

235494, 235454

Abstract:

The disclosure relates to techniques for determining the presence, orientation and location of features in an image of a two dimensional optical code. The techniques are adapted for use in mapping data in an image pixel plane with grid locations in a grid-based two dimensional code to account for size, rotation, tilt, warping and distortion of the code symbol. Where such a code is a MaxiCode, techniques are disclosed for determining the presence and location of the MaxiCode bulls-eye, orientation modules, primary data modules and secondary data modules.

International Classification:

G06K019/06

US Classification:

235/494000

Abstract:

A data encoding/decoding scheme includes a plurality of bar code symbols each carrying a portion of the data in which improved error correction capabilities are incorporated. According to one aspect, once data codewords have been derived to form the symbols, a first set of data correction elements are derived from a first field, then a second set of error correction elements are derived from the data elements and the first set of error correction elements using a second, wider field.

International Classification:

H04K 100
H04K 900
H04L 900

US Classification:

380 23

Abstract:

Method and apparatus for determining that a first unit of data associated with a first party has not been modified since a specified point in time. A method includes the steps of (a) providing the first unit of data and (b) generating a second unit of data from the first unit of data, the second unit of data being expressive of an information content of the first unit of data. The method further includes a step of (c) generating a time indication for specifying a point in time, the time indication being generated with time generation means having a time is settable by a second party other than the first party. That is, the time generation means is secured and cannot be altered or changed by the first party. The method further includes a step of (d) encrypting the second unit of data and the generated time indication to generate a third unit of data. The method includes as an additional step a step of (e) validating the first unit of data to ensure that the first unit of data has not been modified since the specified point in time.

US Patent:

54931061, Feb 20, 1996

Filed:

Oct 24, 1994

Appl. No.:

8/328196

Inventors:

Kevin D. Hunter - Stratford CT

Assignee:

Pitney Bowes Inc. - Stamford CT

International Classification:

G06F 1700

US Classification:

235375

Abstract:

The improved user interface for a mail processing machine includes a barcode reader and an associated chart having barcodes which are readable by the barcode reader. The barcodes are respectively associated with commands, characters, and accounts such that messages may be constructed by reading selected barcodes from the chart for inputting commands and data into the mail processing machine. The barcode messages are converted into machine commands and data inputs for operation of the machine. Barcode information may also be supplied with batches of mail for ease of entry of pertinent control data for the batch.

Filed:

Oct 26, 1992

Appl. No.:

7/967305

Kevin D. Hunter - Stratford CT

Assignee:

Pitney Bowes Inc. - Stamford CT

International Classification:

G07B 1700

US Classification:

36446402

Abstract:

The method and apparatus for providing a meter activity log is usable in a mail processing machine which is adapted to receive a plurality of postage meters. The mail processing machine includes a microcomputer control and nonvolatile memory storage means for storing meter accounting information. The meter accounting information is stored in association with a unique identification of each of a plurality of meters installed in the mail processing machine. Accounting information relating to the uniquely-identified meter activity which has occurred off-line is determined and stored. Information relative to the uniquely-identified meter activity upon the occurrence of each of a plurality of selected events which occur on-line is also stored. The log may be printed and the information cleared by command of the operator.

Appl. No.:

7/737528

Inventors:

Robert T. Durst - Fairfield CT
Kevin D. Hunter - Stratford CT
Jose Pastor - Westport CT

Assignee:

Pitney Bowes Inc. - Stamford CT

International Classification:

G07B 1702

US Classification:

235432

Abstract:

A postage meter having the capability to print a zip code in bar code form. The postage meter includes an input for input of a postage value and input of a destination zip code, a display, a printer for printing an indicia on a mail piece, the indicia including a representation of a postage value and a representation of a destination zip code in bar code form. The postage meter also includes accounting means for accounting for expended postage and a controller responsive to the input. The controller controls the meter to receive a postage value and display a prompt requesting input of the destination zip code, convert the zip code to bar code form and add the bar code to the indicia. When a destination zip code is input the postage meter resets the postage value in accordance with a bar code discount. In one embodiment the postage meter of the subject invention may include a sensor for determining the position of the lower edge of the mail piece so that the bar code may be printed in accordance with regulations of a postal service.

Appl. No.:

8/331303

Inventors:

Kevin D. Hunter - Stratford CT
Walter J. Kulpa - Trumbull CT

Assignee:

Pitney Bowes Inc. - Stamford CT

International Classification:

B41J 3352

US Classification:

400234

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for controlling tension on a sheet material in a reel-to-reel transport system. The sheet material is feed along a defined path from a supply reel to a take-up reel. A motor is operatively connected to the take-up reel for applying a torque to the take-up reel while a sensor is positioned to detect rotation of the supply reel. A microcontroller enables the motor with an initial PWM pwm. sub. o to create torque on the take-up reel and then incrementally increases the PWM. When the sensor indicates that the supply reel has moved, the current PWM is stored in memory as pwm. sub. i. This pwm. sub. i is subsequently used by the apparatus to determine a desired tension on the thermal ribbon.

International Classification:

G06F 1200
G06F 1214

US Classification:

395550

Abstract:

A technique is disclosed for preventing a computer program from being used by a computer system other than a designated system. The values of certain characteristics exhibited by the designated computer system first are stored, and then the values of those same characteristics exhibited by the computer system which is intended to use the computer program are measured and compared to the stored values. If the compared values are substantially the same, the computer program may be executed. However, if they are different, the computer system which was intended to use the program is inhibited from executing that program. The aforementioned characteristics comprise one or more, and preferably at least two, of the following: an identification of the processor included in the computer system, the clock speed of the clock generator included in that system, an identification of the ROM normally provided with the processor, the wait time assigned to the processor for accessing a RAM, the actual rotary speed of a disk drive normally provided with the computer system, the access speed of that disk drive, and the sector interleave value of that disk drive.
