Abstract: A hybrid system and method to provide reliable and cost-effective high speed broadband internet to rural or geographically dispersed areas. Areas with existing telecommunication towers and favorable topography are targeted with a broadband network using fixed wireless radio technology (aka “RF” or radiofrequency radiation), covering upwards of 50 to 80 percent of the area with high-speed, reliable broadband connectivity, and supplementing that fixed wireless coverage with “FTTP neighborhoods” (FTTP—fiber to the premises) to bring community coverage to 100 percent.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer program product and computing system for normalizing descriptors within a master website dataset; comparing descriptors within a subordinate website dataset to descriptors within the master website dataset to define a similarity score for each descriptor within subordinate website dataset; and normalizing one or more descriptors of the subordinate website dataset if the similarity score is above a similarity threshold.

Abstract: A bathroom facility transfer system, including a mobile base, a stationary base, and a removable bridge is disclosed. A user seated in a chair, is positioned adjacent to a bathroom facility with the mobile base. The removable bridge connects the mobile base to the stationary base, which is removably affixed to the bathroom facility, to allow the chair carrying the user to be moved between the mobile base and the stationary base. A chair blocking member on the removable base is movable between a) a chair blocking position, and b) a chair unblocking position. At least one opposed end of the chair blocking member interferes with movement of the chair onto the removable bridge from the mobile base or the stationary base, when the chair blocking member is in the chair blocking position. A method of assisting a user with accessing a bathroom facility is also disclosed.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, executed on a computing device, comprising: enabling a browsing session between a distributed actor and a web-browser; performing a code-driven replication of the browsing session for a third party, thus generating a replicated browsing session; and rendering the replicated browsing session for the third party.

Abstract: In one implementation, a computer-implemented method is executed on a computing device and includes: maintaining an addressable datasource that is capable of offering one or more skills and is capable of being associated with one or more distributed actors that enable access to the one or more skills; in response to a user accessing the addressable datasource, identifying skills offered by the addressable datasource and/or distributed actors associated with the addressable datasource, thus defining one or more offered skills and/or one or more associated distributed actors; and enabling the user to utilize at least one of the offered skills via at least one of the distributed actors.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer program product and computing system for monitoring an environment to detect the existence of an unfulfilled need; assigning one or more distributed actors to address the unfulfilled need based, at least in part, upon the at least one skill offered by the one or more distributed actors, thus defining one or more assigned distributed actors; and enabling the one or more assigned distributed actors to assign at least a portion of the unfulfilled need to one or more distributed sub-actors.
