Abstract: Mobile collection and vetting of user supplied information is described. The systems, techniques, devices, methods, and approaches described herein can be used to obtain, validate, and vet information, such as customs information, in a mobile environment. In embodiments, methods comprise receiving information input via a mobile device. The information is encapsulated by an intermediate to escort the information through a firewall to the database. In response to vetting the information to determine if it meets one or more criteria, the method involves creating a record associated with a unique identifier, information that bio-identifies a user, or an indication of a determination that results from the vetting. In this embodiment, the method includes generating an electronic receipt for communication to the mobile device, the electronic receipt including the unique identifier.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for the secure management of electronic information relating to a user. In certain embodiments, systems and methods disclosed herein may allow for personal information related to a user to be used in connection with information targeting systems and methods configured to match and/or target information for delivery to a user based on the user's interests. In some embodiments, personal information relating to a user may be stored and/or managed in a personal ontology graph or other data structure including, among other things, various inferred interests of the user derived from available personal information.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for performing policy-managed, peer-to-peer service orchestration in a manner that supports the formation of self-organizing service networks that enable rich media experiences. In one embodiment, services are distributed across peer-to-peer communicating nodes, and each node provides message routing and orchestration using a message pump and workflow collator. Distributed policy management of service interfaces helps to provide trust and security, supporting commercial exchange of value. Peer-to-peer messaging and workflow collation allow services to be dynamically created from a heterogeneous set of primitive services. The shared resources are services of many different types, using different service interface bindings beyond those typically supported in a web service deployments built on UDDI, SOAP, and WSDL.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed cable connectors (14), electrical modules (12) and assemblies thereof. The cable connectors can provide a sealed connection having a rating of IP 66/67 between electrical modules such as lighting fixtures and an insulated cable (16). Cable connectors can be quickly and easily engaged and disengaged with electrical modules to create customizable electrical assemblies. The cable connector can have an upper portion (22) having piercing pins (26) for penetrating the cable at one end and contacting terminals (76) of the module at another end, and a lower portion for clamping against the cable and locking to the upper portion. A gel mat (44A) can be provided in an area surrounding the piercing pins for sealing the area from water and dust. The module can include a skirt for engaging with an elastomeric sleeve on the upper portion to create a seal when the module is mated with the cable connector.
