  • Patent number: 8825854
    Abstract: A method and system for providing a secure method and process for accessing resources that are made available by a server. A demilitarized zone (DMZ) framework provides a frontend system that is protected by a firewall and separated from a backend system by a second firewall. The frontend system provides the user interface functionality common to the backend but contains no access directly to the resources that the user interface operates upon. Placing the user interface on a separate machine from the resource data provides an additional layer of security. In addition, separate communication protocols are used between the user and the frontend and between the frontend and the backend system. Thus, a malicious programmer or program will not know the location of the resource or the method for communicating with the backend server to access the resource.

  • Patent number: 7844586
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for accessing and presenting data in real-time. In one exemplary embodiment, the systems and methods may include presenting a first record set, fetching a second record set before a data request, and presenting the second record set in response to the data request. The first record set may be associated with at least one of a first part monitored by the monitoring system, a first location of the first part, and a first supplier of the first part. The second record set may be associated with at least one of a second part monitored by the monitoring system, a second location, and a second supplier.
