  • Patent number: 9602473
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for facilitating the secure transmission and storage of data. In this regard, a method is provided that comprises causing data encrypted by a sender system to be received at a service provider system; causing the data as encrypted by the sender system to be stored at the service provider system; receiving a request for the data from a recipient system; determining the recipient system is authorized to receive the data; and causing the data as encrypted to be transmitted to the sender system.

  • Publication number: 20150201002
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a delivery system comprises an interface and one or more processors. The interface is operable to receive a current preference from a recipient. The current preference indicates how the recipient prefers messages to be delivered. The processors determine whether the current preference differs from a previous preference that the delivery system associates with the recipient. The interface communicates the current preference to a plurality of senders if the current preference differs from the previous preference. The senders are configured to store the current preference in local memory and to apply the current preference from local memory in response to a future determination to send a message to the recipient.

  • Publication number: 20140026187
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a proxy server comprises one or more processors operable to establish communication with a secure client application of a device. The client is configured with a partition that contains data received from the proxy server within the secure application. If the client passes authentication, the server communicates preview information to the client previewing files that the server received from a business server on behalf of the client. The client requests a selected file. The server renders the selected file into a first portion and a second portion based on the immediate display capabilities of the client. The server communicates the first portion, determines that a trigger point was reached, and then communicates the second portion in response to the trigger point being reached. The client is configured to delete the first portion and the second portion in response to a completion event.

  • Patent number: 8386280
    Abstract: The present invention is a tool including a spatial database and a data warehouse used to track portfolio sites that are affected by weather events, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, hail, tornados, or manmade events. A spatial database provides rich spatial geometry features using earth longitude and latitude as a 2-D reference system in spatial system. A insurer portfolio site, which is defined by longitude and latitude data, includes portions that are represented as a point. A weather event is represented as polygon in the spatial database. Based on user configured threshold values, it may be determined when a point falls inside, or on a boundary, of a polygon to identify a site that is affected by that weather event and corresponding reports may be generated, including maps identifying the affected sites and total insured value calculations for the affected sites, in order to gauge risk.

  • Patent number: 8199529
    Abstract: A method of controlling an isolated switching power converter that includes a transformer with a primary side and a secondary side, at least one primary switch coupled to the primary side of the transformer and at least one synchronous rectifier coupled to the secondary side of the transformer is disclosed. The method includes turning on the synchronous rectifier a first fixed time after turning on the primary switch and turning off the synchronous rectifier a second fixed time after turning off the primary switch. Power converters for operation according to this method are also disclosed, including power converters without an output inductor.
