Corporation or company stub
editI hope I have made a good start replacing the corporation or company stub with something useful.
I will agree that the detailed list of locations can be removed, but I will leave that for someone else to do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sam Hobbs (talk • contribs) 00:53, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I'm suggesting the addition of a brief subsection about a proposed barcode security method called "orientation-based access," which I authored. It introduces physical orientation as a user-specific constraint for scanning barcodes. It’s described here. I’ve written the proposed text. Feedback welcome.
editOrientation-Based Access A novel approach to enhancing barcode security involves orientation-based access control, where the correct physical orientation of a barcode is required for it to be scanned or interpreted successfully. This method does not alter the underlying barcode format but adds a physical constraint to its use, improving protection against unauthorized scans in environments such as healthcare, education, and transportation. The concept was patented by IBM Research in 2024, outlining use cases where only users who know the correct scan angle or order can access the encoded information. The idea introduces a context-aware layer to barcode usage, potentially preventing unintended exposure or misuse in sensitive environments. Reference:

- Wikipedia isn't a place to publicize novel approaches. We should wait until this sees wide adoption and/or receives coverage in independent secondary sources. The article obviously cannot cover everything that IBM Research takes a patent out on. MrOllie (talk) 17:39, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
Almaden Lab is no longer open
editI am an employee of IBM Research suggesting the following edit to the locations:IBM closed the Almaden Research lab last year (July 2025) and merged into the Silicon Valley Lab or SVL

Done. This was improved in April by another editor, and I just made some additional cleanup. — voidxor 01:50, 26 May 2026 (UTC)
