摘要:
A user annotates a shared document with text, sound, images, video, an e-mail message, graphics, screen snapshots, web site snapshots to share with others. The document and its annotations are stored in a digital object repository to which other users have access. Within the closed collaboration system, only users who are authenticated may upload digital objects, annotate digital objects and view objects and their annotations. The user sends a message to other users to invite them to view the object and its annotations and to add their own annotations. An annotated object generates an alert for all of the invited users. A remote authentication gateway authenticates users and has a repository for user metadata. Digital object repositories are separate from the authentication gateway, thus providing for disintermediation of the user metadata from the digital object data. The collaboration system may be hosted by a third party on a server computer available over the Internet that displays a web site. A user is not required to have collaboration system software on his or her computer and may annotate any image on the web site for later viewing by other users of the web site.

摘要:
Disclosed are methods and apparatuses to provide a redo repeater that allows for no data loss protection without the performance impact to the primary database even when a significant geographical distance separates the primary and standby databases. The Repeater is a lightweight entity that receives redo from the primary database with the purpose of redistributing that redo throughout the primary/standby system configuration. The Repeater able to extend no data loss protection and switchover functionality to terminal standby databases even though the primary database does not need to have a direct connection with those destinations.

The invention includes antimicrobial ice compositions (also called frozen antimicrobial compositions), methods of preparing the compositions, and methods of using the compositions. The frozen composition includes a peroxycarboxylic acid and hydrogen peroxide. The compositions are used to prevent spoilage and microbial contamination of perishable foods, such as fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, meat, poultry, fish, seafood, and shellfish. The compositions may also be used in the processing of sausage or luncheon meat to prevent spoilage and contamination.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a device for preparing assay samples using a number of microscope slides. Each slide has a number of assay reaction surface locations spaced on the planar surface of the slide. In preferred embodiments, the device comprises, in part, a microscope slide holder that has the exterior dimensions of a SBS standard microplate, such as a 96 well plate. The device accepts conventional microscope slides equipped with sixteen microarray surfaces spaced nine millimeters apart on center, or four for a 96 well plate. Individual chamber plates are placed on top of the slides, creating an individual well above each assay reaction surface location. In preferred embodiments, each assay reaction surface location can comprise a microarray of multiple reactive sites. Thus, parallel processing can be done of samples for genomic or proteomic profiling. An advantage of the present invention is that one can use the conventional high throughput assaying equipment for SBS standard microplates while using conventional microscope slides, thereby allowing the use of robotic assay reading equipment designed for slides.

A self-powered electric lock includes a lock bolt and a first engagement element having disengaged and engageable positions. An electric actuator includes an output operative to move the first engagement element to its engageable position. A manually operated rotatable member is operatively coupled to the first engagement element when the first engagement element is in its engageable position. A lock bolt drive mechanism is coupled to the lock bolt and to the first engagement element when the first engagement element is in its engageable position. The movable output moves the first engagement element to its engageable position upon input of correct electronic data. An electricity generator is coupled to the manually operated rotatable member. The electricity powers the electric actuator and an electronic data input device. The manually operated rotatable member is also used to actuate the lock bolt drive mechanism and retract the lock bolt.

摘要:
A locking mechanism adapted to be placed in locked and unlocked positions. The locking mechanism includes a lock-bolt mounted for movement between locked and unlocked positions and a first engagement element having disengaged and engageable positions. An electric actuator having a movable output drives the first engagement element to the engageable position. A manually operated second engagement element can be engaged with the first engagement element in its engageable position. A lock-bolt drive mechanism is operatively coupled between the lock-bolt and the first engagement element. A slidable element responds to a movement of the manually operated second engagement element and slides linearly between engaged and disengaged positions. The slidable element cooperates with the lock-bolt drive mechanism to enable manual movement of the lock-bolt between the locked and unlocked positions thereof such that the disengaged position of the slidable element corresponds to the locked position of the lock-bolt.
摘要:
A system and method for position determination using low earth orbit satellites. A mobile terminal affixed to an asset initiates a collection of global positioning system satellite measurements (e.g., code phase) based on a hardware trigger generated by a low earth orbit satellite modem. Timing information reflective of the time of the hardware trigger pulse is transmitted to an operations center along with the global positioning system satellite measurements to enable the operations center to determine a position of the mobile terminal.
