The new Intelligent Mail Barcode (IMB) system can sound a lot more complicated than it really is. Most mail houses already have the hardware and software to implement the new barcode, even if they're not using it. Your software vendor and equipment dealer will be able to verify this for you, and help you 'piece the code together'. But chances are, you'll be able to do it yourself using the following guide.
The new barcode uses 65 bars, with 4 varying lengths, to stand for 31 characters. To create the barcode, you start by assembling the different information for the 31 characters...which breaks into five pieces of data.
Barcode ID -- The barcode ID uses the first two characters. This is for the optional endorsement line (EOL). Keyword here is 'optional'. If you're using an EOL, you'll put the corresponding sort code here. If your not using an EOL (which is usually the case) you'll simply use "00" in this spot. But you can't leave it blank. You must have the two zeros as 'placeholders'. If you don't know what an EOL is, then use the zeros.
Service Type ID -- This just tells the post office what kind of mail you're sending. It records the mail class and other extra services like 'confirmation'. It's a three digit code and you can use the table below to find the right code to put here. The USPS will probably expand the listed services, but for now, this is what's available.
*040-First-Class Mail with Destination Confirm
*042-Standard Mail with Destination Confirm
*044-Periodicals with Destination Confirm
*050-Origin Confirm
*080-First-Class Mail with Address Service Requested
*082-First-Class Mail with Change Service Requested
*090-Standard Mail with Address Service Requested
*092-Standard Mail with Change Service Requested
*782-Periodicals with Address Service Requested
*784-Periodicals with Change Service Requested
*140-First-Class Mail with Destination Confirm and Address Service Requested
*240-First-Class Mail with Destination Confirm and Change Service Requested
*142-Standard Mail with Destination Confirm and Address Service Requested
*242-Standard Mail with Destination Confirm and Change Service Requested
*144-Periodicals with Destination Confirm and Address Service Requested
*244-Periodicals with Destination Confirm and Change Service Requested
*700-First-Class Mail with no additional services
*702-Standard Mail with no additional services
*704-Periodicals with no additional services
*706-Bound Printed Matter with no additional services
Mailer ID -- This is the mailer ID from OneCode Confirm or OneCode ACS. The MID is either six or nine digits. If you don't have a mailer ID from one of the above services, you can get one from Mailpiece Design Analyst (MDA) by going to the post office site and applying for one -- pe.usps.gov/mpdesign/mpdfr_mda_intro.asp.
Serial Number -- Each piece of mail will have a unique serial number. This way, when combined with the mailer ID, every piece of mail from the time of creation to the time of delivery will have a unique number that can be tracked by the post office or internally using Vision Systems on your equipment. Your software will have to generate the serial numbers in increments of one and list the serials with the reports you submit to the post office. The serial number will be 9 digits if you used a 6 digit mailer ID. It'll be 6 digits if you used a 9 digit mailer ID.
Routing Code -- this is where you'll put the destination ZIP code. You can use 5, 9, or 11 digit code.
These 31 digits are put together and can then be encoded into a 65-character string (each character being one of four letters-A, T, D, or F). When using the downloadable font from the USPS, the string will print out as a barcode. Most current software already comes with the ability to encode the numbers and print the barcode. Contact your vendor for specifics.

In Numbers $65.65 "In Numbers" is the first volume to address an overlooked art form that is neither artist's book nor ephemera, but is entirely its own unique entity: the artist's serial publication. Across such groundswell moments as the small press boom of the 1960s, the correspondence art movement of the early 1970s and the DIY zine culture of the 1980s and early 1990s, artists have seized on magazine and postcard formats as forms in themselves. These are not publications that print criticism, manifestos or reproductions of artworks; rather, they are themselves artworks, in large part factured by younger artists operating at the peripheries of mainstream art cultures, or by established artists looking for an alternative to the marketplace. Dating from 1955 to the present, "In Numbers" begins with Wallace Berman's "Semina" and continues through Joe Brainard's "C Comics," "Situationist Times," Eleanor Antin's "100 Boots," "File," Robert Heinecken's modified periodicals, the Japanese group Provoke's magazine, Ian Hamilton Finlay's "Poor.Old.Tired.Horse," Fluxus, "Art-Language," Raymond Pettibon's "Tripping Corpse," Maurizio Cattelan's "Permanent Food" and contemporary examples such as North Drive Press, "LTTR" and Continuous Project. (Approximately 60 publications in total are surveyed.) Documenting the history of each publication-its inception, production, distribution and impact-together with a fully illustrated bibliography for each title, "In Numbers" is embellished with essays by Clive Phillpot, Nancy Princenthal, William S. Wilson and Neville Wakefield. An illustrated conversation between Collier Schorr and Gil Blank provides an overview. |

Predictable Serial Number Attack $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A predictable serial number attack is a form of security exploit in which the algorithm for generating serial numbers for a particular purpose is guessed, discovered, or reverse engineered, a new serial number is predicted using the algorithm, and the newly generated serial number is then used for a fraudulent purpose, either to obtain an undeserved benefit or to deny service to the legitimate holder of the serial number. Suppose there is a phone card available for sale that offers telephone service by entering the serial number printed on the card. Alice legitimately purchases a phone card in order to call Bob, and her card has the serial number 0003. The attacker, Mallory, also purchases two phone cards, and notices that the serial numbers printed on her phone cards are 0001 and 0002. After consuming the value on cards 0001 and 0002, Mallory guesses the algorithm used for generating these serial numbers is a simple sequence and predicts that 0003 is a valid serial number, enters 0003 when prompted, and gets additional phone service. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F. Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 88 Publication Date: 2010/09/11 Language: English Dimensions: 6.00 x 9.02 x 0.21 inches |

Ripper Notes: Murder by Numbers $14.05 "Ripper Notes: Murder by Numbers" is a collection of essays about the famous unidentified serial killer Jack the Ripper and related topics. Wolf Vanderlinden's questions the conventional wisdom about the time of death of Annie Chapman, the second of Jack's generally accepted victims, by a careful examination of the medical evidence and contradictions in witness testimony. Amanda Howard compares serial killers like Andrei Chikatilo, the BTK strangler, Albert Fish and the Green River Killer to see what they might tell us about the Ripper case. Also, Jeffrey Bloomfield gives the details on two forgotten cases of prostitutes murdered in London a few years before the more famous 1888 killings, Bernard Brown discusses the police officer who thought he almost caught the Whitechapel murderer, Des McKenna asks whether witnesses confused two different women as being Mary Kelly (generally considered the last Ripper victim) and Robert J. McLaughlin reports on a Punch & Judy-like theatre performance based upon the murders. There are also several short pieces looking at the latest news in Ripperology, the boom in books about the case, and similar topics. Ripper Notes is a nonfiction anthology series covering all aspects of the Jack the Ripper case. |
