The present invention is a common location-based service adapter interface. The common location-based service adapter interface can include a uniform input interface through which location-based services can be requested using a uniform format which is independent of any specific formatting required by a particular service adapter configured to process the location-based services. The common location-based service adapter interface also can include a uniform output interface through which specifically formatted result sets can be formatted using the uniform format.

Common location-based service adapter interface for location based services

A system and method for securing an electronic transmission of a nucleotide chain. A security system is provided that comprises: a system for identifying coding and non-coding regions in the nucleotide chain; and a system for selectively encrypting only the coding regions identified in the nucleotide chain.

System and method for securing genomic information

A technique, system, and computer program for enhancing performance of the computers in a Web environment. This is done by creating a pool of connections between a Web server and backend data servers, reducing the overhead required for accessing the data servers and enabling the applications running on the Web server to be faster. Many different types of connections may be maintained concurrently in the pool, to similar or different data servers. A common interface to the pool is used, regardless of the type of backend data server connection, making programs which use the pool easier (and therefore less costly) to write and support. Options are defined for optimizing the number of connections in the pool.
