Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system and method for comprehensive data synchronization management between a sponsor-company's central electronic-laboratory-notebook system and either multiple contract-research-organizations or research sites. The system features a data loader server that can be deployed on-premise or in the cloud and allows scheduling of synchronization jobs of electronic-laboratory-notebook. The data loader software communicates to the contract research organization and the sponsor company's electronic laboratory notebook and executes scheduled or on-demand jobs. The data loader software may synchronized subsequent update of the data and may automatically delete the data from the contract research organization's site once a given transfer is complete. In some implementations, the method and system is configured for automation, scalability, and high-performance operations that focused on efficiency, security, configurability, and privacy/intellectual property protection.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling a peripheral device is provided. In a server, in a client/server environment, a server application receives a request for execution of a peripheral device script from a client application. The server application retrieves a peripheral device script which is associated with the request and the peripheral device script is passed to a script interpreter. The script interpreter converts the peripheral device script into at least one control signal. A device control module is coupled to the script interpreter and sends the control signal to the peripheral device. The device control module receives information signals from the peripheral device and forwards the information signals to the client application. The script may include code for configuring the peripheral device, code for requesting information about the peripheral device or code for controlling the peripheral device.
