A method for protecting an advertising sign from weathering conditions is disclosed. The method includes the operation of providing a frame configured to hold a plurality of sign segments, the sign segments having a front side and a back side each configured to carry graphical images. The front and back sides of each sign segment can be covered with a substantially transparent covering configured to enable each sign segment to be essentially undamaged by weathering effects for a period of at least seven years. The plurality of sign segments can be configured to be stacked on top of one another within the frame. The frame can be configured to enable removal and replacement of one or more of the plurality of sign segments.

A system and method is provided for manufacturing a memory bill. The method can include the operation of creating a template for displayed face of the memory bill. Another operation can be cutting out the displayed face of the memory bill. Yet another operation can be adhering the displayed face to a center substrate in the memory bill. A further operation can be creating a template for a back face for a memory bill. The back face for the memory bill can be cut out, and the back face can be adhered to the center substrate for the memory bill.

Method and apparatus for generating unique id packets in a distributed processing system. A method for facilitating processing over a network includes generating at a server location on the network a pointer that defines an information profile on the network. The pointer is then associated with the information profile, and the pointer and the associated information profile transmitted to at least two locations on the network. The pointer can then be transmitted to one of the at least two locations on the network from another location on the network during a processing operation on the network for the purpose of processing a network transaction at the receiving one of the at least two locations on the network, which network transaction requires the associated information profile, such that only transmission of the pointer is required for the processing operation.

Method and apparatus for load balancing a distributed processing system. A method for load balancing a distributed processing system having a plurality of processing nodes associated therewith is provided. A portion of a process is first received at one of the processing nodes for processing of that portion thereat. The amount of processing at that node is then determined that will be required to complete the received portion of the process as a processing load on that one processing node. A determination is then made if the amount of processing exceeds a predetermined threshold. If the amount of processing exceeds the predetermined threshold, then information is transferred to other nodes in the network that the one of the processing nodes is unavailable for further processing.

System and method for transmission of information between locations on a computer network with the use of unique packets. A method is disclosed for communicating between first and second unlike systems. Information is generated at the first system in a first information format that is native to the first system. A first conversion system, in a first conversion operation, converts the generated information to a master space format such that a first converted information transmission is generated. The first converted information is then transmitted to a master information system. In response to receiving the first converted information at the master information system, the received first converted information is routed to a second conversion system in the master system format. At the second conversion system, the information transmitted thereto is converted from the master space format to a second information format in a second conversion operation to provide a second converted information transmission, the second information format being native to the second system. The second converted information transmission is then routed to the second system

Distributed processing system and method. A method for processing data from an origin node in a network to a destination node in the network in accordance with a predetermined process is disclosed. The method includes providing a plurality of processing nodes on the network. The process is then parsed into a plurality of sub processes and the sub processes distributed to the destination, origin and processing nodes such that a portion of the overall predetermined process can be carried out at separate ones of the destination, origin and processing nodes. The sub processes have associated therewith routing information to select ones of the destination and processing nodes associated with other of the sub processes. A process pointer is generated at the origin node that uniquely defines the predetermined process on the network. At the origin node, the process pointer is associated with the one of the sub processes at the origin node for carrying out the associated sub process and routing the process pointer to a determined one of the destination and processing nodes having associated therewith the next sub process to be carried out. At each of the ones of the destination and processing nodes, the process pointer is recognized and, in response thereto, the associated sub process is executed and the process pointer routed to a determined one of the destination and processing nodes having associated therewith the next sub process to be carried out.

Method and apparatus for converting data between two dissimilar systems. A method for transferring information between first and second systems with dissimilar first and second database structures, respectively, is provided. The method includes the step of first extracting data from the first system and then routing the extracted data from the first system to a first conversion server. At the first conversion server, the data is converted from a format compatible with the first database structure to an intermediate format. The data in the intermediate format is then routed to a second conversion server. At the second conversion server, the data is converted from the intermediate format to a format compatible with the second database structure. The data converted at the second conversion server is then stored in the second system.

Method and apparatus for monitoring and logging the operation of a distributed processing system. A method for monitoring the operation of a distributed transaction system that is operable to process one or more transactions, each of which is comprised of a plurality of discrete processes, and which transaction as a whole is operable to perform a transaction on data when transferring data from a first location on a network to a second location on the network and the transaction comprised of operating on the data at intermediate nodes in the system with one or more of the plurality of processes during the transaction. First, a determination is made as to when a transaction has been initiated from the first location and has been transferred to the one of the intermediate nodes in the network. The initiation of the transaction is then logged at a central location on the network. A determination is then made as to when the initiated transaction has been completed by transfer of the processed data to the second location on the network from the last of the intermediate nodes in the network that has operated on the data. Completion of the transaction is then logged at the central location on the network.
