Abstract: A system and method for using financial instruments to provide investment incentive to fund disaster mitigation projects and/or ecosystem restoration projects triggered by real world events detected at set points by sensors and analyzed by computing devices. The detection of events results in the computational analysis and determination of a characteristics of a resilience bond or ecosystem-service bond to be issued or returned to investors. Examples involve sensors used to detect events, including flood damage mitigation, earthquake damage mitigation, or air quality improvement. In one preferred embodiment of the disclosure an investor may make an initial payment into a financial instrument being a resilience bond used to fund a mitigation project, said financial instrument pays phases to the mitigation project developer at the completion of phases of the project that occur prior to the occurrence of a disaster.

Abstract: The present disclosure contains embodiments of an apparatus, system and method designed to facilitate learning or efficient multitasking involving movement and solar energy where users' movement devices process or respond to different stimuli to facilitate users moving while learning, working, or participating in a simulation. In some embodiments this may be accomplished with the aid of a circular treadmill, spherical walkway, or combinable modular trackpads that may be linked to allow a user to lay the apparatus in a path suited for a plurality of environments. The embodiments of the disclosure involve the user moving while processing information and receiving feedback, assistance related to that movement, processing, or any combination thereof while combining the motion of the movement device with the feedback loop sent from sensor relays a user may receive an optimal experience for learning while moving. Some embodiments make efficient use of solar energy for classroom education management.
