Title: Data synchronization interface between a source and a target
Inventor: HOREL JERRY
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2002-08-15
Abstract: A system for processing information in an interface to facilitate the communication between systems is provided. A source system (310) translates data into an XML format and transmits the data to a synchronizer interface tool. The synchronizer tool stores the data in a persistent intermediate storage, such as a queue (325), allowing the source system to go offline or perform other tasks while the data is transmitted to the target system. The synchronizer tool initiates the transmission of the data to the target system. If the target system indicates that it received the data, then the synchronizer tool sends an acknowledgement to the source system indicating the data was received. If the target system does not receive the transmission, the synchronizer tool maintains the data in the present intermediate storage and reinitiates transmission of the data to the target system (300).

Title: Flexible package in which food can be heated, or heated food can be transported, including an insulating support member
Inventor: OWENSBY JOSEPH E
Filed: 2006-08-15
Abstract: The invention provides a flexible package comprising a support member having a flexible film attached to the support member to thereby define a continuous sidewall of the package.
