Parimutuel wagering system with opaque transactions

A seamless ledger-based wagering system is provided wherein a secure, flexible and automated database method and apparatus is used for retrieving information and accounting for wagers in an electronic wagering format. The accounting system can be a ledger wherein funds are accounted for by a financial structure (e.g., financial institution such as a bank, credit union, savings and loan, deposit account, and the like) so that funds may be transferred through an intermediate transaction (e.g., the electronic wager entered onto the account) on the ledger and committed to payment at the ultimate target of the transfer (e.g., the pari-mutuel site, and ancillary recipients of wagering monies, such as horseman's associations, totalisator companies, automated machine lessors, track association, governmental agencies and the like). As the financial records from the financial structure never ‘sees’ the wagering facility in the transaction, transferring funds or guaranteeing funds to the intermediate transaction on a ledger, the entire transaction is in compliance with state and national regulations prohibiting or limiting or rendering illegal the availability of funds in the wagering transaction or transferring funds into a wagering account.

System and method for identifying alternate contact information

A method and system for identifying alternate contact information of a specific type; particularly, by providing an inputted Email address in a query, one or more alternate Email addresses can be returned to the query, using an automated database. The system is queried using an entity's known Email address, which, in turn, is associated with other contact information for the entity, such as name and postal address, and the other contact information is then used to identify alternative Email addresses for the targeted entity either at the time of the query or in preparation of the database, and the alternative Email address(es) are then outputted to the requestor from the system. The method uses knowledge of contact points of different types for the same entity to identify alternate contact points of a single type, within a database of contact information.

Method for automated database schema evolution

A database structure of a sort defined by an access and query language that defines tables of variables having labels and field characteristics, such as ANSI structured query language (SQL), is modified by determining the structural differences between an existing schema and a new schema, independent of database contents. The differences are processed to generate commands that are then applied to evolve an existing database from the old schema or structure to the new one. This avoids the need to dump and restructure the contents of the old database for reload into an empty new database that has been prepared to meet the new schema.

Automated database blocking and record matching

An automated blocking technique is used as a first step to find approximate matches in a database. The technique builds a blocking set to be as liberal as possible in retrieving records that match on individual fields or sets of fields while avoiding selection criteria that are predicted to return more than the maximum number of records defining a particular special requirement. The ability to do blocking without extensive manual setup at low cost is highly advantageous especially when using a machine learning based second-stage matching algorithm.

Spatially integrated relational database model with dynamic segmentation (SIR-DBMS)

A method and system for providing an open database model that allows the combining of spatial and Attribute data in a single relational database. The integration of spatial and Attribute data allows the data to be accessed by either standard structured query language (SQL) or a GIS viewing application. The invention provides: enhanced performance by avoiding proliferation of segmentation; open dynamic segmentation; integrated temporal data; and automated database maintenance. Permanent anchor sections are provided to define spatial references. The data model allows for intersections in the interior of a link (anchor section), resulting in a more stable form of a link, or anchor section. The use of anchor sections simplifies maintenance of data associated with the anchor sections and facilitates the use of anchor sections in a distributed environment. Database views display data in a simple, tabular format. Access to a continuous archive of historical data is supported.

Techniques for automated database deployment

New techniques for automated database deployment are disclosed. Change SQL files intended for any target database are checked into a designated source code control repository. A pre-validation process is applied to the proposed changes and reports all errors therein, not just the first error found. A tracking mechanism may find and report changes that have been done against a database since the last deployment, including changes applied without following source control procedure. All recent SQL files since previous promotion can be automatically gathered and built into a master run book SQL for execution in a correct sequence. Backout SQL may also be automatically generated and validated. A pre-test or mock deployment may be performed during regular business hours against an automatically generated copy of the target database. With these techniques, deployments and maintenance of databases become more efficient, and failure rates and failover responses could be significantly improved.

Method and apparatus for increasing the security of the physical fiber plant by polarization monitoring

A method and system for detecting intrusions on a fiber optic network. The method and system monitors polarization variations of light being transmitted in the fiber optic network. It then determines intrusions in the fiber optic network based on the polarization variations. The polarization variations are then compared to a database of known activity which would cause polarization variations to determine unknown intrusions. An intrusion alert is initiated when the determined intrusion does not correspond to any known activity. The known activity is contained in an automated database for automatically comparing to the polarization variations. The intrusions may be cross-correlated on two partially adjacent fiber optic cables to determine the location of the intrusion.
