Abstract:

Described is a technology by which private content maintained behind a firewall (e. g. , in a “mesh”) may be searched, browsed, and accessed via an index that exists outside of the firewall. Searching of the index may include checking permissions of a user against permissions associated with metadata in the index, e. g. , per watch folder into which file content is added. When content is selected, e. g. , by clicking on a search result, a request is made. An application polls for such requests, and when detected, pushes a copy of the content through the firewall to the requester. The search may be performed over more than one index, with aggregated search results returned.

Abstract:

A document shipping container assembly adapted to be coupled to a railroad car is disclosed. The document shipping container assembly includes a support member, a container, and a lid. The support member is attached to the railroad car and the document shipping container is attached to the support member. The bottom of the support member is shaped to mate with a curved Murphy End of a railroad car to position the container in a recessed location. The lid includes a circumferentially extending flange overlapping the container and the mating surface between the lid and the container. The seal between the container and the lid is watertight when the lid is closed. A latch permits the lid to be locked shut onto the container to prevent unauthorized persons from removing the documents therein. A non-repairable sealing member, such as a plastic strap, extends through the latch to provide an indication whether the documents have been tampered with. The lid is coupled with a spring-loaded hinge to the container to ensure that the lid automatically closes when released by a user.
