  • Patent number: 11188301
    Abstract: A system and method for salting and fingerprinting database tables, text files, data feeds, and the like, first resorts the data according to a field or fields in the data set. A salting recipe is selected and applied to the sorted data. A fingerprint of the data is captured after sorting and salting. The data is then restored to its original order before being sent to a trusted third party. Because the data owner retains information concerning the sorting sorting sonar technique, salting technique, and the fingerprint, the data owner can reconstruct the unsalted file from the salted file, and can determine if a wild file contains data from the data file. The salting is difficult to detect by the bad actor, even if the bad actor is aware that the data has been salted.

  • Publication number: 20150058096
    Abstract: A computerized method and self-assessment tool for measuring the marketing capability of an organization generates a marketing maturity quotient (MMQ) to provide feedback on maturity along a standardized scale. A body of knowledge (BOK) is used to provide a comparison between MMQ results for an organization and those of the average and leader organizations. The self-assessment tool may be used as part of a marketing campaign for an enterprise, wherein the campaign owner identifies prospects for the self-assessment; configures a campaign that includes a list of prospects at organizations that may desire to use the self-assessment tool; and sends automated invitations to those prospects.

  • Publication number: 20100288584
    Abstract: A highly stable rotating platform with a base, a roller deck assembly on top of the base, and a shooting deck coupled to the roller deck via leg assemblies. The leg assemblies contain two vertical members with an angled cross member between the vertical members providing strength and stability. Bi-directional, unrestricted rotation of the roller deck assembly and shooting deck (in an unlimited number of degrees—e.g. multiple rotations) is accomplished by wheels in the roller deck which rotate around, and to the outside of, a safety guide attached to the base. The wheels may protrude through the top of the roller deck permitting the operator to precisely, easily, and smoothly rotate the roller deck and shooting deck by only moving his/her foot on the protruding wheel thereby not substantially changing their position relative to the shooting deck. The wheels may also be cambered and/or crowned to add lateral stiffness.
