Abstract: Collecting and analyzing crime related information is one of the most important tasks of law enforcement agencies. Traditionally, crime related information is entered into structured database that allows law enforcement officers to later search the database. However, the user interface is often not well suited for easily finding relevant documents quickly. To improve the situation, a law enforcement information system that stores data in two different types of formats is disclosed. Crime related information is stored both in a traditional structured database and in a modified natural language database. The modified natural language database is then indexed and may be searched with an internet search engine type of user interface.

Abstract: As more internet service providers have more customers with high-speed internet access accounts and these customers access more multi-media rich data (such as videos), the network infrastructure of internet service providers becomes saturated. Thus, internet service providers are facing pressure to upgrade their networks. However, high-speed digital networking equipment is expensive. Thus, internet service providers need to optimize the usage of their existing networks. To optimize the usage of existing networks, a system of delaying certain data requests is proposed. By delaying certain data requests, the various components in a network can shift data transfers from peak traffic times to lower traffic times. One useful application of delayed requests is the case in which a web client requests data ahead of schedule either through predictive methods or through subscriptions for desired data.
