Abstract: The disclosure deals with a system and method for digitized data user-input device and method. In one exemplary embodiment, improved system and method are described for measuring user-controlled inputs. One exemplary such method relates to methodology for capturing, measuring, storing, analyzing, and reporting data corresponding to subjective experiences, particularly such as those of patients. The subject matter is particularly useful in the arena or field of healthcare generally, but can also be advantageously used for a wider setting of applications. A collection of images becomes representation of a continuum of images between polar images. As a controller is manipulated by a user, the images are displayed in direct relationship to the position of the slider. Only one image is visible at any time. The continuum of images may differ in step-wise progressions of shape, size, position of component elements, color, line density, rotation, skew, scale, or in other ways, such as opacity.

Abstract: Systems and methods for partitioning information across multiple storage devices in a web server environment. The system comprises a web server database which includes information related creating a web site. The information is divided into partitions within the database. One of the partitions includes user information and another of the partitions includes content for the web site. Portions of the content for the web site is replicated and maintained within the partition including the user information. Further, a portion of the user information is replicated and maintained in the partition where the content for the web site is maintained. The methods include dividing information into partitions, de-normalizing the received data and replicating the data portions into the various web site locations.

Abstract: A redundant storage system implemented in a web server environment. The system comprises a web server database accessible to multiple web servers. The web server database is comprised of at least a first and a second storage bank. The first storage bank is comprised of at least a first and a second sub-bank with at least a portion of data stored on the first sub-bank also being stored on the second sub-bank. Methods for using the storage system comprise receiving a write access addressed to the first storage bank, and storing data associated with the write access to the second storage bank when the second sub-bank is inoperable. The storage area addressed by the write access is then de-allocated.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing functions from a central facility on a computer network. One function facilitated includes authentication and authorization of users requesting access to a web server accessible via the communication network. Such authorization and authentication includes transferring a request for access from a content server to the central facility and authorizing the request from the central facility. Results of the authorization are communicated to the content server which displays the results of the request to the user by either allowing access or displaying a message describing a denied request.
