  • Patent number: 9727851
    Abstract: A data management method and system. The method includes retrieving by a computing system, first identification data associated with a buyer of a product. The computing system retrieves product data associated with the product. The product data is compared to campaign data associated with a campaign. The campaign is associated with an entity associated with the product. The computing system determines that the product is associated with the campaign. The computing system generates second identification data comprising the first identification data, an identification code for the product, a campaign code indicating that the product is associated with the campaign, and a date of purchase for the product. The computing system generates encrypted data comprising the second identification data in an encrypted format. The encrypted data is transmitted to a secure database system.

  • Patent number: 8407260
    Abstract: A method of controlling the storage of web objects in a storage media, the web objects forming a closed web site and being adapted for delivery to a user, the web objects being stored on the basis of predictive determinations of which web object has the highest probability of being selected from the closed web site by the user.

  • Publication number: 20090060458
    Abstract: The first data flow is buffered at a receiver, and the buffer contents are scanned for metadata. Where metadata are found indicating a second data flow which has not yet arrived, the system enters a stalling phase during which the length of any silent periods in the first data flow are stretched. As the point in the first data flow at which the second data flow is necessary gets closer, the factor by which silent periods are stretched increases exponentially. Once the expected second data flow in fact arrives, playback of two data flows is accelerated by compressing silent periods so as to clear the backlog of additional data that built up in the buffer during the stalling phase.

  • Patent number: 6601389
    Abstract: A liquefied gas evaporating device supplies liquefied petroleum gas to a marine engine, wherein the device includes a box that includes a heating body incorporating an evaporating chamber and a thermal chamber which are contiguous and separated by a common wall. The thermal chamber hot sea water coming out of a cooling circuit of an engine to flow therethrough via an accelerating pump mounted on an evacuation pipe of the cooling circuit. The heating body is made of a material that resists corrosive action of sea water.

  • Patent number: 6601571
    Abstract: A system for vaporizing and supplying liquefied petrol gas to an internal combustion engine, the internal combustion engine comprising an oil circuit for lubricating the engine and utilizing one of a carburetor and fuel injection. The system includes a vaporizing housing having a temperature chamber and of a vaporizing chamber. The temperature chamber is connected to the oil circuit for lubricating the engine. The vaporizing chamber is connected to a liquefied gas tank and to one of the carburetor and the fuel injection, the liquefied petrol gas being heated by the engine oil.
