Abstract: In one mode the present invention allows for transactions of various types to take place “anonymously” and securely over public (WAN), semi-public (e.g. AOL) and private or subscription networks and without regard or dependency to currency valuations or per se financial institutional policy. The present invention in another mode allows individuals or groups to “attract” investors anonymously over the network in their own asset holdings or even their asset building or acquisition plans, making each individual or pooled group capable of becoming their own “IPO.

Abstract: The present invention details a system for tracking writing motions internally to the pen (or other instrument) and communicating such motions to a general or specific purposes computer systems. In a preferred embodiment the present invention uses multiple tubes with electrically active material with viscosity surfaces in order to generate the necessary signals to determine the motion of the device in a targeted number of degrees. The data on movement is either supplemented with or oriented with magnetically-active thin film material which generates signals when the device is rotated. The data is then filtered and optionally processed and stored. The data then can be downloaded to a computer or other processing device to determine the motion of the pen or other tracking device.

Abstract: The present invention is designed to complement the existing transportation infrastructure in order to alleviate ever-worsening traffic congestion in problematic areas by minimizing the impact of driver “bunching” habits and/or external events that lead to congestion problems. Events alleviated by the present invention may happen at naturally occurring roadway infrastructures such as merges, lane shifts, and exits, and under conditions like rush hour, accidents, stand-stills, and HOV lane activation times. Further, vehicles allowing their speed and spacing to be controlled should have access to high-flow lanes. This invention will best and most safely be implemented at low speeds when congestion is most problematic and bunching habits prevent the dissipation of gridlock. In particular embodiments, the invention will regulate multiple vehicle accelerations (non-negative acceleration) once a low threshold speed has been reached through the transmission of signals to receivers in properly equipped vehicles.

Abstract: The invention teaches a contingency interception and information replacement system for transactions conducted over networks that protect an account holder's personal or account information by replacing it with diversionary (fictitious) information or masking particular transactions when the contingency identifier is detected. During a transaction, a user enters a contingency identifier instead of their usual password or code, the contingency identifier is detected over a network to invoke a set of transaction masking rules if the code is mapped. The interception device may simply overlay the transaction information and route it to the account custodian for “normal” processing with the masked information or the interception device may be the account custodian as well. Thus, information regarding transactions and accounts such as locations, amounts, balances, etc. may be replaced upon when the contingency identifier is entered into the networked system.
