A central health data repository stores health data from various data providers and provides data to various data consumers. The data hub is a standardized central repository that conforms to various standards, such as Health Level Seven (HL7). The data is received according to the HL7 specification and is transmitted to the various data providers using HL7. The data may also be transmitted as a continuous data feed. In this manner, a large volume of health data may be collected, stored, and disseminated using the data hub as a standardized service. A computer system includes one or more processors, an output network interface and an input network interface, a memory for storing multiple personal health records having fields for storing data in a proprietary format or in a standard format. The memory may also include an HL7 translation module and a data insertion/retrieval code module, wherein the computer system performs as a standardized health data repository for various entities in the healthcare industry.

A method for providing translations of data retrieved from a storage system in a cloud computing environment includes receiving, by an interface object executing on a first physical computing device, a request for provisioning of a virtual storage resource by a storage system. The interface object requests, from a storage system interface object, provisioning of the virtual storage resource. The interface object receives, from the storage system interface object, an identification of the provisioned virtual storage resource. The interface object translates the identification of the provisioned virtual storage resource from a proprietary format implemented by the storage system interface object into a standardized format by accessing an interface translation file mapping each of a plurality of proprietary formats with the standardized format. The interface object responds to the request received from the second physical computing device, with a translation of the received identification.

A removable medium recording station records medical image data in a format and removable medium that are widely accepted. The removable medium recording station can be used to effectively replace an installed storage device on an existing stand-alone medical image workstation. Storage onto removable media is transformed into an outboard operation. This transformation enables a hospital to migrate existing medical imaging systems to new formats and media without sacrificing a large portion of their initial investment. Additionally, the removable medium recording station can be attached as a peripheral on an existing medical modality network. In this capacity, the removable medium recording station enables an operator on the medical modality network to store medical images in a selected format and on a selected type of removable medium regardless of the proprietary format used by the enterprise level archive server. The removable medium recording station enables a hospital to add new functionality without sacrificing their investment in their enterprise solution.

A method and computer program product which comprises storing at least one data file inside a portable device such as security token or flash memory drive associated with a security badge. The data file includes sufficient information to allow a third party to verify the identity of an assignee of the security badge. The identity of the assignee is based at least in part on the information included in the data file by the third party without having to rely on a presentation affixed to one or more exterior surfaces of the security badge. Other embodiments of the invention comprises operatively coupling the security token to a security system, authenticating the assignee to the security token, generating a digital signature of the data file using a private key, and sending the digital signature, the data file and a digital certificate associated with the private key to said security system. The sufficient information comprises a digital photograph of the assignee, the assignee's name, the assignee's employer name, a logo of the employer or a security badge number and instructions for reading the data file when provided in a proprietary format. Final verification of the assignee's identity is performed by a security officer.

Thin glue layers bridge a Non-IP network and the Internet Web. Existing services in both networks are used directly wherever feasible, thereby achieving simplicity and efficiency. A Non-IP-specific application can use a Non-IP API to access Internet services, and an IP-based Internet browser can use commands encoded in HTTP, XML, Java, or proprietary formats to access Non-IP services and to control Non-IP devices. In this manner, changes are not required to the Internet browser. The glue layers translate between the IP protocol and Non-IP API, but also allow commands and responses to tunnel between end applications in the Internet and the Non-IP network without interpretation.

A storage server receives a data access request in a standard communication format, such as the Storage Management Initiative-Specification (SMI-S). A single mode request is received at a disk module of the storage server and a cluster mode request is received at a management host of the storage server. The request is forwarded to a communication agent in a management module of the storage server. The communication agent translates the request from the standard communication format to a proprietary format used by the storage server to communicate with an attached storage subsystem. The storage server services the request from the attached storage subsystem through a disk module. In cluster mode, the request is forwarded to corresponding disk modules in each storage server in the cluster.

Described is a method and system providing a dynamic, live (active) surface and/or model elements to complement and enhance what is being modeled or visualized, enabling the addition of new features and functionality to visualization and modeling tools. A dynamic surface is accomplished by extending traditional HTML, rendering APIs and/or components to enable visualization and modeling functionality. The surface background and model elements may comprise HTML elements, and the surface can include a Web site. The model elements are HTML elements layered dynamically atop the surface, as the user interacts with them, and completed designs may be saved in a non-proprietary format, (e.g., HTML). The live surface bases its services on HTML rendering engine services, and further provides a visualization and modeling engine that wraps and extends the rendering engine through multiple interfaces. Interfaces can enumerate modeling elements and their relationships, add, delete or change connections between model elements and states, and initialize the surface, including loading an existing diagram such as saved as an HTML document.

The invention described here is intended for enhancing the technology domain of real-time and high-performance distributed computing. This invention provides a connotative and intuitive grammar that allows users to define how data is to be automatically encoded/decoded for transport between computing systems. This capability eliminates the need for hand-crafting custom solutions for every combination of platform and transport medium. This is a software framework that can serve as a basis for real-time capture, distribution, and analysis of large volumes and variety of data moving at rapid or real-time velocity. It can be configured as-is or can be extended as a framework to filter-and-extract data from a system for distribution to other systems (including other instances of the framework). Users control all features for capture, filtering, distribution, analysis, and visualization by configuration files (as opposed to software programming) that are read at program startup. It enables large scalable computation of high velocity data over distributed heterogeneous platforms. As compared with conventional approaches to data capture which extract data in proprietary formats and rely upon post-run standalone analysis programs in non-real-time, this invention also allows data streaming in real-time to an open range of analysis and visualization tools. Data treatment options are specified via end-user configuration files as opposed to hard-coding software revisions.

A portable telecommunication test set, such as a telephone line butt set, with a web browser incorporated therein. A standard HTML (Hyper Text Mark-up Language) or WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) browser may be incorporated within the portable test set, allowing a network technician to access the Internet as well as other remotely-located sources of information to retrieve data and other useful technical information while in the field for communication network or telephone line maintenance, troubleshooting or repair. The test set may contain memory to locally store certain technical information, e.g., telephone line-specific data or circuit information, that may be retrieved and “read” by the built-in browser module when prompted by the network technician. The web browser may display the content of the requested information on a display provided on the test set. Line-specific (as well as manufacturer-specific) test information need not be in a manufacturer-dictated proprietary format, but, instead, may be in a generally available text format, e.g., the HTML format or the WML (Wireless Mark-up Language) format. Testing-related data may thus be supplied (as hardware or software plug-in modules) by a vendor other than the manufacturer of the test set.

A process for secure distribution of digital audiovisual streams according to a standard, normalized or proprietary format, on which streams a separation of the stream into two parts is made prior to transmission to equipment of an addressee to generate a modified main stream having a format of the original stream and complementary information of any format including digital information suitable to permit reconstruction of the original stream, wherein a transmission is made, by separate paths during distribution of the modified main stream from a distribution server and of the complementary information to the equipment of the addressee from a secure central server passing via at least one local server connecting the equipment of the addressee to the local server via at least one access point.

A method of securely transferring files from an un-trusted to a trusted network is disclosed. A file that is an archive file of many component files is separated into constituent files. Each file is stored on a server connected to an un-trusted network, and a series of initial checks, such as virus, file size, and file extension are performed. If the files pass, additional, file format specific security rules are applied. An open format transform is performed on proprietary format type files, and embedded file components are separated out. A user-definable security rule set is performed on each open format transform component. If all security tests pass, the file is reassembled and saved as a trusted file in the same format as the original file.
