An manned, mobile traffic enforcement platform with aimable violation and documentation devices employing digital video and still images, incorporating contextual information as well as data input by the system operator and driver. The mobile enforcement platform (MEP) is operated by a trained and authorized system operator (typically a police officer trained and experienced in traffic enforcement) who applies pre-determined criteria, protocols, procedures and routines that are approved and authorized by the user-jurisdiction for use with the MEP system. MEP's aimable devices support detection, identification, and documentation of violations occurring in any of several lanes behind or in front of the moving MEP vehicle. MEP also can be used from the roadside. The violation information and documentation can be transmitted to a fixed facility for citation processing or it can be transferred in batches over landlines or by direct link for later citation processing. MEP is designed to capture all types of moving violations, including aggressive driving and reckless driving, in readily retrievable documentation that will support citation preparation and can even be provided with the citation to substantiate the content as required by the respective jurisdiction. The MEP operator or driver also can identify gross violations to police dispatchers for attempted interception of the violator by other police units. MEP also generates traffic-related information of interest to planners and police enforcement and can perform homeland security monitoring tasks as well as other surveillance activities. MEP is a traffic enforcement tool that is designed to greatly expand police productivity, reduce police officer paperwork and court time, increase enforcement credibility (eventually reducing court caseloads), reduce crash costs and fatalities, and dramatically improve highway safety.

A method, system, and apparatus for the collection, analysis, and disposal of controlled substances are described. A collector receives an excess of controlled substance and stores the controlled substance so that unauthorized access is minimized. An analysis determines the chemical composition and concentration. The results of the analysis are reviewed and reconciled against information in an overseeing authority information system or against information provided by the depositor of the controlled substance or both. The controlled substance is disposed of once it has been confirmed that the substance deposited in the collector is the same substance claimed to be deposited and the same substance issued by the pharmacy or other qualified authorities.

A DTD and pattern tree creating module expresses in a tree form a hierarchical structure of respective elements defined by DTD and pattern information, and adds a description pattern specified with respect to the element concerned to each node in the tree. An entire control module requests a pattern retrieving module to retrieve based on the specified description pattern for every node in this tree. The pattern retrieving module extracts a region coincident with the specified description pattern out of a processing target document, and sends the region back to the entire control module. The entire control module adds tags corresponding to the element in front and rear of the region of a text that has been sent back as what corresponds to the element, thereby outputting a structured document.
