Abstract: A system for managing data availability for database transactions is disclosed. The system is programmed to receive source data and extract a plurality of events from the source data. The system is programmed to create a halt record corresponding to each event of the plurality of events. The system is programmed to resolve conflicts among one or more halt records. The system is programmed to receive a request for a specific database transaction related to a specific database item from a client device. The system is programmed to determine whether any halt record is in effect for the specific database item. The system is programmed to perform the specific database transaction in response to determining no halt record is in effect. The system is programmed to transmit a result of the specific database transaction in response to the request to the client device.

Abstract: A sanitizer includes a shell defining first and second chamber portions, and having an opening into the first portion. A cover has a closed position over the opening for preventing access to the chamber, and an open position for permitting access to the chamber. A tray is moveable between an access position in the first portion, for placement and retrieval of an article within the tray, and a sanitizing position in the second portion, for exposing the article to sanitizing electromagnetic radiation from an emitter mounted in the second portion. A controller controls an actuator coupled to the tray to move the tray to the sanitizing position when the cover is closed, and to return the tray to the access position when a return condition is satisfied. A radiation barrier is configured to substantially prevent radiation from reaching the opening when the tray is in the access position.
