Title: Carrier manager interface utilizing an ocx control
Inventor: BOUCHER GLEN A
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 1998-09-25
Abstract: The present invention is a method and system of utilizing an OCX and object oriented programming to share data between applications operating under differing operating system environments. The method links a first client application with a second client application, through a carrier manager module which could comprise an OCX environment, by initiating the first client application and transmitting a query from the first client application to the carrier manager module. The second client application is subsequently initiated and a query is transmitted from the second client application to the carrier manager module. A running object table is created within the carrier manager module. The carrier manager module, the query from the first client application, and the query from the second client application are registered within the running object table as a separate objects. Once registered, the objects can be evaluated by comparing a pre-determined subset of a select object with one or more subsets comprising another object. Once a comparison has been made, the method then performs a linking of the objects to create a new object; and, if a match does not exist, then the system querys subsequent objects until a match is made. After the evaluationhas been made, then the method performs a linking of the first client application with the second client application by creating a fourth object that comprises the new object and linking commands for linking the first client application with the second client application.

Title: A stolen article recovery device
Inventor: CAMPBELL LEONARD ALLAN
IPC: B60R25/33
Filed: 1998-10-15
Abstract: In this invention, a device is created which can be hidden in any valuable object such as a car, bicycle, motorcycle, truck, trailer, boat, airplane, stereo, television, vcr, computer,etc. If the article is stolen, the device can be activated by the transmission of an electronic serial number by microwave or radio wave. Once activated the device will transmit a radio or microwave signal which can be triangulated upon to give the location of the stolen object. In the case of a stolen vehicle, the vehicle could also be rendered inoperable by the activation of the device leading to a quicker recovery of the vehicle and preventing it from becoming the object of a possibly fatal police chase.
