Abstract: Disclosed are tools, methods, and systems for establishing generally live, Content-based social networks, and for concurrently sharing Content and Content-relevant information within a social network. A Service registers Viewers and/or n-Users, and provides tools that enable a Viewer to identify n-Users concurrently viewing the same or similar Content, or having an interest in the same or similar Content. A Viewer can initiate or join a Content-based social network, and can share their Content with others, or view others' Content, and interact with n-Users via any of several methods. Service tools also enable a Viewer to define and selectively block or alter objectionable material so that it is no longer perceivable in its objectionable form. The described tools, methods, and systems also enable numerous innovative approaches to generate revenue for a Service, for providers of product and/or services, for Content providers, and others.

Abstract: A method by which a User can associate selectable Markers, Data Packets and/or Objects with Content. The Content may generally be distributed electronically, and the Markers allow for insertion and/or overlay of Objects when the Content is selected for viewing by a Viewer. Objects and Data Packets are generally provided by a User, Promoter, Host, Service, or other entity to convey information to a Viewer. A Service provides tools and capabilities to both the User and the Promoter to facilitate their respective actions according to embodiments of the invention, including enabling the creation of live social networks (such as those linked to a specific Service provider, a specific User group, activities by a specific Promoter, and/or to specific Data Packets) and the creation of n-dimensional Virtual Environments.

Abstract: A Tritium battery of parallel and aligned thin plate anodes and cathodes separated by thin dielectric panels and enclosed in a vented case with an external dummy load, an integral internal DC-DC converter providing converted output power to external electrical contacts, and a fuse. Logic switches power to the dummy load if there is no load on the external electrical contacts. The cathodes may be coated with an electrically conductive coating, such as graphene or a compound of carbon nanotubes and metallic micro wire. The cathodes may be superconductors. The anode includes a conductive thin plate coated with a chemically stable Tritium compound. The thin plate may be etched to increase surface area. The cases are scalable in configuration and may have ten electrodes or more on the sides as well as ends, and so encased Tritium batteries can be physically stacked side-to-side to create electrical connections for parallel power.

Abstract: A beam generator for generating an electrically neutral dual-particle (proton and electron) beam with a uniform magnetic pole orientation imposed on the particles. The uniform orientation gives the dual-particle beam a uniform magnetic field, enabling magnetic modulation of the beam and making the beam self-collimating. Proton and electron beams are generated separately but under common control to ensure equal particle densities to ensure net electrical neutrality when combined. The proton and electron beams may also be concurrently magnetically or electrostatically modulated before being combined. A magnetic lens imposes uniform right, neutral, or left spin on the combined beam. A resonant chamber with fixed or variable resonant frequency determines the frequency of a carrier signal modulated by the modulated combined beam. Electric neutrality prevents detection of the beam with antennas that rely on a signal inducing a voltage on a conductor.

Abstract: A system and a method for position determination by impulse radio using a first transceiver having a first clock providing a first reference signal and a second transceiver placed spaced from the first transceiver. The system determines the position of the second transceiver. The second transceiver has a second clock that provides a second reference signal. A first sequence of pulses are transmitted from the first transceiver. The first sequence of pulses are then received at the second transceiver and the second transceiver is then synchronized with the first sequence of pulses. A second sequence of pulses are transmitted from the second transceiver. The first transceiver receives the second sequence of pulses and the first transceiver is synchronized with the second sequence of pulses. A delayed first reference signal is generated in response to the synchronization with the second sequence of pulses.

Abstract: A system and method for highly selective intrusion detection using a sparse array of time modulated ultra wideband (TM-UWB) radars. Two or more TM-UWB radars are arranged in a sparse array around the perimeter of a building. Each TM-UWB radar transmits ultra wideband pulses that illuminate the building and the surrounding area. Signal return data is processed to determine, among other things, whether an alarm condition has been triggered. High resolution radar images are formed that give an accurate picture of the inside of the building and the surrounding area. This image is used to detect motion in a highly selective manner and to track moving objects within the building and the surrounding area. Motion can be distinguished based on criteria appropriate to the environment in which the intrusion detection system operates.
