  • Publication number: 20080228867
    Abstract: System and methods for synchronizing data and media with third party websites and marketing materials are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, a form receives data from a client and determines at least two destinations. A central server receives and modifies the data for each destination in such a manner as to ensure compatibility. For each destination, the central server authenticates the client on a local system, authenticates the central server with third party sites via an emulator, sends the data received from the form in a compatible format, and receives a status update from each destination. The central server provides the client with a status for each destination.

  • Publication number: 20070085502
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for stopping equipment. The system is an automatic dynamic braking system using color recognition. The automatic braking system comprises a color recognition sensor coupled to a control system. In use, the control system is operably connected to potentially hazardous equipment. The color recognition sensor recognizes a marker worn by an operator, for example, an article of clothing of a predetermined color. When the marker enters a predetermined recognition zone relative to the equipment, the system responds to the event with shut-down procedures. The equipment may be an electric or automatic saw, with the recognition zone being defined relative to a rotating saw blade.

  • Patent number: 5423034
    Abstract: A file directory structure generator and retrieval tool for use in a computer network is disclosed. The computer network comprises an output device, a local memory, a shared memory, and a local processor operating according to an operating system program and an application program. The local memory and the shared memory store files in a directory structure. Each file and level in the directory structure has network access privileges. The file directory structure generator and retrieval tool has a document locator module that maps the directory structure of the files stored in the memory to a real world hierarchical file structure of files and directories independent of conventions of the operating system. The document locator module can also change the network access privileges for files and directories without exiting the application program.
