Abstract: Methods and systems consistent with the present invention provide a file delivery system for transmitting files to recipients using email, which may be used with existing email infrastructure. Email clients may “attach” files to an email by an attachment process. The attachment process, however, associates a placeholder with the email instead of the actual file. The placeholder is replaced with a URL link to the file and the email is sent. The system moves the attachments over the network to a remote server that is capable of delivering the attachments to the email recipients. File attachments are routed to recipients independent of the associated email.

Abstract: A system and method for verifying the authenticity of documents is provided. The method and system includes incorporating a machine readable code (102, 102a) to the document (101); storing the document and/or other useful information that assists in verifying the authenticity on a secure document verification system (SDVS) (104); the machine code (102, 102a), which contains a secure uniform resource locator (URL) optionally along with other information regarding the document, can then be scanned by a reader (103) such as a camera 103 attached to a computing device for example a smart-phone; the computing device would then, on extracting the URL, redirect to the secure document verification system (104) which then reveals the document and/or relevant information (105) regarding the document which accordingly verifies the authenticity of the document.

Abstract: A secure method for requesting resources in a distributed computer network is described. The method comprises of a means of securely integrating a request for a resource along with its validation and authentication from a first server with restrictions for the request such as expiry date and IP address as well as other request parameters. The resulting request is placed on a second server which is capable of decoding and responding to the request or redirects the request securely to a third computer to respond.

Abstract: A system is provided for presenting information about waste reduction or resource preservation activities of one or more entities. The system may include at least one server resource that is programmed to generate a presentation for an online medium. The presentation may provide at least a first information item that is indicative of a determination of a reduction by a given entity in either of an identified waste byproduct or a resource consumption. The reduction is a result of one or more kinds of a conservation activity that is performed by one or more individuals in the organization.

Abstract: A set of activities are identified that are part of a defined objective to reduce carbon emission. A baseline for the set of activities is determined. An actor's performance of any one of the set of activities is monitored in order to determine information about how the user performed the set of activities. A quantification (e.g. estimation) is made of the carbon conservation by the actor by comparing the information against parameters determined or identified from the baseline.

Abstract: The present invention provides is a file delivery system for transmitting files to recipients using email, which may be used with existing email infrastructures. High volumes of large file attachments may be handled by routing attachments independent of an associated email. An attachment distribution system extracts the attachments of emails at mail servers and routes them through a hosting server thereby alleviating server loading on the mail server. The system may be configured for delivery optimization, recipient authentication and delivery confirmation. The system examines emails flowing through a distributed network of mail servers, and may invoke attachment extraction based on configurable rules like attachment size and sender validity, and move the attachments over the Internet or Intranet to a remote server that is capable of delivering the attachments to the email recipients.

Abstract: A system for storing and retrieving user-specific content in a client-server computer network according to a computer network architecture is described. The system comprises means for sending, from a first computer, a request relating to user-specific content to a second computer in a client-server computer network, and means for determining a third computer in the client-server computer network which is geographically proximal to the first computer. The system also comprises means for redirecting, by the second computer, the request to the third computer, and means for providing a user-specific content transaction between the first and third computers.
