METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DATA STRUCTURE OPTIMIZATION
Methods and systems for optimizing a data structure are disclosed. An example method can comprise categorizing, based on travel information associated with a vehicle, locations according to at least one of a first category and a second category. An example method can comprise generating search criteria configured to select first data for locations categorized with the first category and second data for locations categorized with the second category. The first data can be more detailed than the second data. An example method can comprise receiving information based on the search criteria and providing the information to the vehicle.
Methods and systems for communicating information are disclosed. An example method can comprise receiving information at a first device based on a first protocol. The information can be translated, at the first device, for communication to a second device based on a second protocol. A determination can be made as to whether the information matches a criterion associated with a transportation device. The information can be provided to the second device based on the second protocol and a determination that the information matches the criterion.

A container for containing and/or suppressing a fire may include a floor, a roof, and at least one wall associating the floor and the roof. The at least one wall may define an opening configured to provide access to the interior of the container. The container may further include at least one panel configured to close the opening. At least one of the floor, the roof, the at least one wall, and the at least one panel may include an intumescent material substantially covering an interior surface thereof.
A device for containing and/or suppressing a fire may include a flexible barrier configured to at least substantially cover at least one item located on a base structure. The flexible barrier may include a flexible sheet and an intumescent material layer substantially covering a surface of the flexible sheet.
A fire extinguishing agent may include a foam and at least one inert gas combined with the foam. A method of extinguishing a fire including a burning metal and/or a burning metal compound and also including a burning plastic material and/or a burning paper material may include combining a foam and at least one inert gas to form a fire extinguishing agent, and applying the fire extinguishing agent to the fire.
A system and associated method for controlling access to a designated area. The system includes a programmable unit, a programming unit, a programmable tag, and a validation system. The programmable unit generates a first and second key for each access to the designated area. The programming unit generates an access key using the first key. The programmable tag stores the access key. The validation system includes a control unit, a memory, and a communication device. The control unit generates a validation key using the second key. The memory stores the validation key. The communication device establishes a data communication with the programmable tag to receive the access key therefrom. The control unit compares the access key and the validation key and causes the security device to allow access to the designated area if the access key matches the validation key.
