Abstract: A number of innovations in the field of networking are disclosed. These techniques use multiple address translation to achieve effective deceptions, emulations, extended private networks and related goals. A further embodiment using a deception network having a number of different actual computer systems each performing emulation where deceived datagrams are routed to an actual machine that is particularly able to perform the desired emulation. The invention allows the emulation to receive a datagram just at it would appear at an external access point, operate on that datagram and return a datagram which is then passed through a deception wall using multiple address translations.

Abstract: This invention provides novel methods for creation of patterned lipid bilayer membranes as well as methods for refunctionalization of such patterned membranes with selected components. Such components optionally comprise, e.g., lipid bilayer membranes (which optionally comprise specific proteins), proteins, non-biologic moieties, etc.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for an image server surveillance system provide for as control and coordination of cameras that may be widely deployed, analyzing data from multiple cameras, making data available in such a way that it can be efficiently transmitted over a network and can be easily displayed to potentially a large number of users, and displaying and controlling image data by existing client software.
