Abstract: A file transfer system and method for transferring large files to a destination quickly may include dividing up a large file into a plurality of components and transmitting the components simultaneously to the destination. A file can be separated into a plurality of segments and transmitted from a first module to a second module through a network simultaneously using multiple jobs corresponding to the segments. Once the second module receives the segments, the second module can implement a supply command to recreate the original saved file from the segments received from the first module. The simultaneous transmission of the segments may assist in transferring of the file at a faster rate.

Abstract: Techniques for providing communication mechanisms between object-based and relational database systems are disclosed. A communication mechanism (e.g., a Web service) can be effectively derived from one or more query statements (e.g., SQL statements) based on a mapping to the objects of the object-based system. The communication mechanism can be generated in a Top-Down or Contract-First approach based on definitions and/or metadata needed to effectively construct the communication mechanism.

Abstract: A system and method for determining export requirements for a content file may include examining a content file to identify content used by or included in the content file that is subject to export control, determining, in response to the identified content, export requirements that are applicable to the content file, and providing an indication of the determined export requirements.

Abstract: A method for controlling the drag area growth of a parachute canopy during airborne descent with sensors attached to the payload for facilitating modification of the schedule of release of a parachute canopy reefing mechanism. A control processor is included that can receive and/or calculate a schedule for disengaging the reefing on the parachute. One or more wireless transmitters at the payload transmit the releasing signal from the payload to the reefing mechanism normally located adjacent the parachute canopy. The control processor can also be configured to receive input information from multiple sensors attached to the payload that monitor parameters such as altitude, position, load force, dynamic pressure, time and others to facilitate instantaneous recalculation of the disreefing schedule responsive to such conditions.
