Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, a system for securely delivering source data to a destination system over a network includes a data manager system operatively connected to the network, where the data manager system includes circuitry configured to receive a public key from the destination system, generate a random session key, encrypt the session key with the public key using a public key cryptosystem, divide the source data into a number of chunks, compress each of the chunks, merge all of the compressed chunks into an assembled file, encrypt the assembled file with the session key using a symmetric-key cryptosystem, divide the encrypted assembled file into a number of parts, send each of the parts to the destination system over the network, and send the encrypted session key to the destination system over the network.

Abstract: Techniques for dynamically and remotely generating a business intelligence cube from an impact-on-demand or mapping system include an intelligence cube module configured to receive a user indication of a client portfolio stored at a remote mapping system. The module may receive user selections of cube dimensions and boundaries of the client portfolio for inclusion in a draft business intelligence cube definition. The module may validate the selected dimensions and boundaries, determine the presence of any anomalies, and in some cases, automatically modifying the draft to resolve the anomalies. A validated, approved cube definition may be delivered to the mapping system for storage. The mapping system may, in real-time and based on a user request, populate the cube definition with a selected dataset and return the populated business intelligence cube for analysis and utilization in reports and other business intelligence tools.

Abstract: An article to determine a sample condition includes a substrate; a reference optical cavity disposed on the substrate and comprising a reference cavity, the reference optical cavity being configured to support a reference optical resonance and to maintain an axial length of the reference cavity; and a sample optical cavity disposed on the substrate and comprising a sample cavity, the sample optical cavity being configured to support a sample optical resonance and to maintain an axial length of the sample cavity.

Abstract: Techniques for dynamic delivery of client-indicated source data to an impact-on-demand or mapping system include a dynamic data delivery module configured to automatically transform the source data into a format that is compatible with the mapping system, validate at least a portion of the source data, and cause the transformed, validated source data to be delivered to the mapping system for storage in a client portfolio. The mapping system may, in real-time, map the client portfolio with impact events to determine risk exposure. The transformation may be based on one or more rules corresponding to the mapping system, and multiple original source data formats may be automatically transformed into the target format. The dynamic data delivery module may automatically correct or adjust source data contents or format to mitigate any anomalies or errors discovered during the transformation and/or validation processes.

Abstract: A computing system for managing information between a server computing environment and a remote computing platform is disclosed. The server computing environment distributes information relevant to a user to the remote computing platform. The remote computing platform is configured to allow the user to automatically access the information distributed from the server computing environment. For example, in one aspect, the computing system comprises a server application and a server database resident on the server computing environment and a first client application resident on the remote computing platform. The server application is configured to manage and arrange information relevant to a user stored in the server database and is capable of communicating with and distributing information to the remote computing platform.

Abstract: A computing system for managing shopping events at one or more retail locations is disclosed. The system comprises a hand-held computer configured to receive shopping list information from a user. The system also comprises a server computing system operable with the hand-held computer. The server computing system is configured to receive the shopping list information from the hand-held computer and distribute one or more information packets associated with each of the products comprising the shopping list to the hand-held computer in advance of a shopping event. The system further comprises a retailer computing system associated with each of the retail locations. The user can distribute the shopping list information and the information packets to the retail computing system as the user completes the shopping event.
