Abstract: A system and method is provided to perform a routine when the user attempts to access any document in a database. When the user attempts to access any document in the database, a call to a function is performed to determine whether the user is allowed to access a local copy of the database. The function determines whether the database is a local database. If the function determines that the database is running on the user's local machine then the function determines whether the user has permission to access the local copy of the database by searching through individual and group access control files. If the user is authorized, the function allows the user to access the local copy of the database. However, if the user is not authorized, an error message is displayed and the user is denied access to the local database copy.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for transferring data between server systems. Specifically, the present invention provides a method and system for locating and importing data stored on a source server system in a first file format to a staging server system. Once imported to the staging server system, the data is processed (e.g., parsed, edited, and translated). After processing, the data is formatted into a second file format and then exported to a destination server system. Thus, the present invention allows data stored on a source server system in a first file format to be transferred to a destination server system in a second file format.

Abstract: A method and system for viewing a record of an organization having a hierarchy of departments is provided. Specifically, under the present invention, a record having data, a record department label and an optional identifier is received. The record is compared to an organizational table having entries that each include an organizational department label and a list of hierarchical levels. Based upon the comparison, an entry in the organizational table that corresponds to the record department label is identified. Once identified, the list of hierarchical levels from the identified entry is added to the record and a view of the record is generated. The view includes categorized columns of the added list of hierarchical levels and the optional identifier.

Abstract: Data records in a source database on a server are replicated to a cross-domain second server. A devoted client is formed having access to both servers. A generic agent manager database is created having one field, one form, one document, and one view. An intermediary agent is created in the generic agent manager database and run against the source database to replicate records to the second server.

Abstract: A new, improved method for estimating doses to body organs in the digestive system due to the passage of a solid radioactive particle through the digestive system. Normally, in this instance, doses to internal body organs are estimated (calculated) using mathematical models, because such doses cannot be measured routinely, if at all. Such models are used internationally as a basis for radiation protection standards. This new method applies to low penetrating emissions of a radionuclide, typically beta and/or alpha particles, low energy (soft) x-rays and/or gamma rays, and Auger electrons. The new method is physically correct in principle, in that it explicitly incorporates the location and velocity of a solid particle in the gastro-intestinal tract, whereas current and previously applied methods are incorrect, in this application. Moreover, this new method will provide estimates of the probability of dose, which is not considered in current methods of estimating such doses.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for automatically determining and indicating that the rotor of a steam turbine has attained a predetermined minimal temperature. Means are utilized for measuring axial dimensional changes of the steam turbine cylinder and rotor due to an increased temperature and summing pertinent axial dimensional changes thereby determining the axial expansion of the rotor which in turn, through known physical properties of the rotor material, corresponds to a temperature increase. This increase of the temperature added to the initial temperature of the rotor provides the total temperature, and upon the total temperature reaching a predetermined value, the steam turbine is available to be brought up to speed and loaded.
