20110253887CARGO SHIPMENT SECURITY ENCLOSURE, METHOD, SYSTEM, AND METHOD OF MAKING - A cargo shipment security system includes a flexible body configured to completely enclose and contain cargo within an internal environment having a predetermined pressure. The system includes a sealable vacuum port disposed on and through the body and configured to couple with a vacuum source for creating a vacuum within the internal environment. The system includes one or more sealable ports disposed on and through the body, positioned to cause a turbulent flow through a predetermined volume of the internal environment of the body when the vacuum source is applied at the vacuum port and fluid is caused to enter the internal environment. The system includes one or more detectors positioned to intercept fluid flowing from the internal environment to an external environment outside the body, in such a way as to enable detection of the presence of a substance exiting from the internal environment.10-20-2011

20090150355Software method for data storage and retrieval - This invention discloses a novel method for storing data in virtual multidimensional blocks and accessing and retrieving desired information from these blocks. Specific items of data whose characteristics fall within the range of a specified block are stored within that block. Blocks with smaller ranges are nested within larger blocks with the same characteristics. This invention's search method involves checking the specific range of a search query against the largest relevant block range, and then successively checking smaller and smaller range blocks that contain the desired data. This method provides greater speed and accuracy than conventional database linear storage and record by record search methods.06-11-2009

20100010979Reduced Volume Precision Data Quality Information Cleansing Feedback Process - This invention provides methods and computer program products for a reduced volume precision data quality information cleansing feedback process. More specifically, a method according to one embodiment of the invention receives a request from a user for information from an electronic information warehouse. In response to the request, the information is transmitted to the user. Feedback is received from the user, wherein the feedback includes errors in content of the information and errors in relationship data. The relationship data has data describing how a data entry in the information relates to other data entries in the information. The feedback also includes proposals on how to correct the errors in the content and the errors in the relationship data. In another embodiment, the user is prompted for feedback.01-14-2010
20100217867SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING AND USING SERVICE DEPENDENCY GRAPHS TO AUTOMATE THE DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF SERVICE ORIENTED APPLICATIONS - An embodiment of the invention provides a method for identifying and combining services. More specifically, the method identifies services in a domain and domain concepts within the domain, wherein the domain concepts are input and output of the services. A network of services is created, which includes metadata of the services and relationship data of the services. The relationship data of the services includes relationships of the services to one another and relationships of the services to the domain concepts. A domain ontology is also created, which includes the domain concepts and relationship data of the domain concepts. The relationship data of the domain concepts includes relationships of the domain concepts to one another and relationships of the domain concepts to the services.08-26-2010
