DHS-RPMP ‘project milestone’ emails
alone confirm that MDM Software was adapted to BlackBerry & Web browser and renamed to RDADS thereby refuting Battelle DOE-funded attorney and Q-clearance holder Dorow’s misrepresentations
to Court to conceal evidence. Overview In
2002-03, the Mobile Data Manager [MDM] software was developed with funding
from DOE’s Technical
Assistance Program [TAP] for TAP recipient Pulver, a local small business; on 8/29/08,
Battelle delivered him a non-working MDM version. Starting in January 2004, Dept. of Homeland Security’s
US Customs and Border Protection Radiation Portal Monitoring Project [RPMP] funded
enhancements to MDM software [renamed
PDAC by Battelle];
for example, PDAC/MDM was adapted/customized/ported to run on additional
platforms/devices including the Blackberry [July 2004] and Web-browser [April
2004]. These enhancements increased the commercial market potential for
MDM/PDAC. Documents [emails below]
show Battelle commercialization and other staff realized the expanded
opportunities, e.g., licensing. Chronologically cited below are Battelle emails
obtained in the lawsuit discovery process.
They confirm
at the following: · The DHS US Customs and Border
Protection Radiation Portal Monitoring Project [RPMP] funded the development
of BlackBerry and Web browser versions of PDAC/MDM from Jan. 2004 thru at
least Feb. 2005 [RPMP training]. · On January 27, 2005, after
acknowledging Pulver’s exclusive license to PDAC/MDM and derivative {follow-on)
versions [e.g., BlackBerry], Battelle suddenly called PDAC/MDM-Blackberry
“new code”, and later wrote “NEW” invention renamed “RDADS” in Feb. 2005;
Battelle filed a patent application on “new code “RDADS” in September
2005. · After February 2005 and with
one exception there are no records of PDAC/MDM, only RDADS emails regarding
commercialization and filing a patent to the US Patent & Trademark
Office. The one exception is PNNL
patent analyst Tuan asking how RDADS differs from MDM; he requested a report
from Dorow on what “distinguishes” RDADS from MDM; such a report is not in
the record. · 2004+ RDADS was not new
software funded by DHS but rather a follow-on [derivative] versions to
TAP-funded PDAC/MDM. [Background on staff cited below: Dorow was software developer of the
MDM/PDAC/RDADS software. Shoemaker was an RPMP program manager who oversaw
Dorow on the RPMP-funded work [e.g., BlackBerry]. Gary Morgan was software
commercialization manager and reported thru the National Security Directorate
[NSD]. In 2002, Battelle renamed
Mobile Data Manager Software [MDM] to Pocket Data Access Components [PDAC];
as confirmed below, Dorow renamed PDAC/MDM to RDADS in February 2005. Note, PNNL depositions taken in January 2008 support [don’t contradict] these
emails.] Emails Confirming that DHS-RPMP Funded 2004+ Versions
to the 2003 TAP-Funded MDM/PDAC August 29,
2003: Non-Working MDM software code is delivered to Pulver. [In a 2008 court hearing, DOE-funded attorney
asserted Battelle had the right
to deliver “zero” & ‘less than a
Barbie doll” to Pulver. Earlier, Pulver
submitted evidence to the court substantiating his claims that Battelle
delivered him a non-working version while withholding & commercially
marketing the working version; details are in the Documents & Evidence-Presented-To-Court
sections.] December 11, 2003 email [Meeting
notice from Shoemaker to Flynn, Dorow et al.] “All I would like to discuss the integration of
3 PNNL developed tools for the homeland security RPMP project. I will
provide a wp# to cover your time at the meeting. We

Subject: RE: Article for IS&E Newsletter] Excerpt: “MDM is the only product we are aware of that
allows for the rapid sharing of data between a large variety of data sources and a large variety of
mobile clients. The competitive products that are available focus on
particular data sources and target deployment platforms,
require programming in order to generate a specific user interface on the
handheld device, and only support distribution of
information (not distribution and acquisition).
Because of its dynamic mobile nature, MDM could have a significant impact on
a wide variety of marketing segments:
Providing real-time handheld catalogs… real-time
distribution and acquisition of data… The Mobile Data Manager software currently exists as an
advance prototype (beta software) and has
been demonstrated to several external clients. The software has been licensed to a

documents that MDM was a rapid data acquisition and distribution/dissemination
system which Dorow later named to RDADS. Pulver’s original intent of MDM was
handheld catalogs, a product/service extension of his online catalog
business.] Also

“Mike Just a quick
status on the development. We have
setup the blackberry
with the basic services and have established the development environment. The PDAC server and Client side have been
loaded, but still need some minor adjustments. The conduit software that facilitates the transfer between
the servers and the blackberry client will need more development, but this is similar to what has been required as the PDAC was ported to other platforms like the pocket pc. I do not see a need for the test
data until next week. Just send me the
data or place it on a server or let me know who to work with on this. I
want to try and get a better understanding of the data and how you want to
use it. Any preparation I can complete
while Kevin finished the
porting, will enable us to move directly into the specific implementation you are looking for.

Patent Application Published - March 22, 2007 Architecture, input & output RDADS screens, patent drawings, and
program names show RDADS is derived from MDM/PDAC. [Comment: The text of the patent (program flow, logic, purpose/benefit,
specific words/phrases) are directly lifted from the 2002 MDM/PDAC software inventions, the November 2002 MDM product
specification and other MDM documents. Steven Shoemaker, Kevin
Dorow and Michael White are the three named inventors on patent.] Note: The patent application shows that Battelle
lifted Pulver’s MDM
control panel design code into the RDADS version of MDM/PDAC without his
permission. This violates the TAP agreement.
