Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for dynamic, power-efficiency-based cryptographic-protocol negotiation with Internet of Things (IoT) devices. In an embodiment, a computer system (e.g., an identity-management system) receives, from an IoT device, a device-side authentication-initiation message containing a unique device identifier of the IoT device. The computer system uses the unique device identifier of the IoT device to identity, from a stored power-efficiency reference table, a suitable cryptographic security protocol for the IoT device. The computer system transmits, to the IoT device, a server-side authentication-initiation message containing an indication of the identified protocol, and the computer system authenticates the IoT device according to the identified protocol.

Abstract

Various methods and implementations of encoding a timestamp, and decoding time and date information from the encoded time stamp, are described. An example method for encoding a timestamp includes: identifying date and time information to be encoded, based on: a calculated year value that represents a calendar year value as an offset from a reference calendar year; a month value; a day value; and a time value (that includes, for example, an hour value, a minutes value, and a seconds value); generating 4 bytes of encoded data from the date and time information, with a sequence of bits that represents: the calculated year value; the month value; the day value; and the time value; and outputting the 4-byte encoded timestamp data. A corresponding method of obtaining date and time information from the encoded timestamp data, by parsing the 4-byte encoded timestamp data, is also described.

Abstract

An RFID reader (10) is mounted to a device including at least one metal part, such as a fuel dispensing nozzle (12) of a fuel management system (100). Due to the mounting to the device, an inductance of an RFID antenna (20) of the RFID reader (10) decreases, resulting in an increase in the capacitance of a variable capacitance element (22) that is adjusted by a controller (24) of the RFID reader (10) to tune the circuit of the RFID reader (10). When the RFID reader (10) is removed from the device, this results in a decrease of the capacitance of the variable capacitance element (22). This decrease can be determined, and a message indicating that the RFID reader (10) has been tampered with can be generated.

Abstract

Loading dock systems for detecting trailer door status and/or trailer cargo status and operating loading dock equipment accordingly are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a loading dock station can include one or more sensors for detecting whether a trailer door is in an open or closed position, and/or whether trailer cargo is loaded in an end load condition, when the trailer is present at the loading dock station. Sensor targets containing, e.g., QR codes, barcodes, and other machine-readable indicia, etc., as well as reflective targets, can be positioned on trailer doors and/or in trailer cargo areas to facilitate detection and acquisition of related door and/or cargo information. In some embodiments, the systems disclosed herein can activate a sequence of automated dock operations in response to determining the status of the trailer doors and/or the trailer cargo.

Abstract

A method of generating a reduced palette for use in a printing process is disclosed. In the method, a plurality of images obtainable by varying printing parameters of the printing apparatus are printed, and color values of the same are measured. Based on the color values, a clustering is performed to obtain a plurality of clusters having similar color values. For each cluster, one or more representative images are selected to form the palette. In this manner, images with color values both inside a convex hull and on the convex hull can be included in the palette.

The first loop antenna (14) and the second loop antenna (16) partially overlap each other by a set distance (d). This results in a suppression of a cross-coupling between the first loop antenna (14) and the second loop antenna (16), and allows for an optimum use of the space that is available for the antennas on the device body (12). In this manner, a reliable operation of the two antennas within desired communication ranges can be obtained.
