| 20120110339 | Security Software For Vector File Format Data - Systems and/or methods where a file requires an associated token to be accessed (see DEFINITIONS section) by the software used to access the file and that the token effectively requires that: (i) a particular authorized copy (or subset of authorized copies) of the software is being used to access the file; and (ii) that the authorized software is being run on an authorized hardware set (for example, organizational server computer). In at least some preferred embodiments, the files are specifically vector file format data files (“vffdf's”). In at least some preferred embodiments: (i) the token associated with the file is called a public token; (ii) the authorized software copy includes a private token; (iii) the file is encrypted; and (iv) the public and private tokens must sufficiently correspond in order for the file to be decrypted and thereby accessed. In at least some preferred embodiments, files that have an associated token cannot be accessed unless each licensing condition of a set of licensing (see DEFINITION of “license”) conditions, including at least one licensing condition is met, such that the use of the software on the file bearing the token is considered to be authorized. If the licensing conditions are not all met, then the software may or may not still be allowed to process files that do not bear a token according to the present invention. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20110193710 | REFRIGERATED CONTAINER MONITORING SYSTEM - A monitoring system for a refrigerated container carrying temperature-sensitive cargo. The system includes sensors disposed throughout the container and/or an associated vehicle for measuring parameters of the container or vehicle, including temperature, motion, and fuel efficiency, among many others. The system optionally includes a global positioning system receiver to monitor geographic location. The system communicates with a command center to allow real-time tracking and monitoring of the container. To reduce false positive alerts, the system buffers alerts by at least 30 minutes and blocks signal transmission when the container is located within specified geofences such as loading and unloading sites. | 08-11-2011 |
