Abstract: Protective gear for protecting individuals from impact forces by transferring axial forces into tangential forces directed away from the individual. The protective apparatus includes a first plate assembly including a first end and a second end; a second plate assembly including a first end and a second end; a load-bearing hinge connecting the first end of the first plate assembly to the first end of the second plate assembly; a first toothed plate attached to the second end of the first plate assembly; and a second toothed plate attached to the second end of the second plate assembly. The load-bearing hinge and the toothed plates tangentially distribute impact forces between the plate assemblies and around, rather than axially toward, the body or object being protected. The apparatus may further include sensors and electronics for detecting a physical property of the protective apparatus, and transmitting signals to a remote server.

Abstract: A method of managing how electronic files are created, stored, viewed, edited, distributed, shared, controlled and archived by a plurality of users from a plurality of remote devices. The method includes creating a virtual space on a centralized server; transmitting at least one electronic file via wireless or wireline communication link to the centralized server that stores the file and file properties; receiving and processing the virtual space, file and file properties on the centralized server over the communication link; and assigning said file by an automated method to a plurality of authorized individuals and groups. The centralized server contains a user rights manager that identifies access control capabilities for a plurality of individuals and groups to act upon the file, and the assigning step is performed automatically without human intervention.

Abstract: A system for monitoring and measuring impact forces imparted to an individual using force sensors, electronics for real-time transmission of sensed data to a remote server, software algorithms to calculate effects of the sensed forces and to determine whether to send an alert notification to at least one remote recipient. Embodiments further include individual body protection devices using multi-layer composite materials that are sized and shaped to an individual, and incorporating at least one force sensor, and electronics for real-time transmission of sensed data to a remote server having software algorithms to calculate effects of sensed forces and to determine whether to send an alert notification to at least one remote recipient, as disclosed in the specification of this application.

Abstract: A real-time integrated information sharing and telecommunications collaboration system is disclosed. The system includes at least one central server to create, store, display, edit, distribute, share, control and archive voice, data, video and images with a plurality of simultaneous wireless and wireline remote display devices. The system includes at least one central server monitors, controls and protects voice, data, video and image communications to, from and between display devices through encrypted token based security identifiers. The sharing of information and communication data packets between the display devices is contingent upon permissions assigned to individual human or machine end users.
