Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a computing system that performs techniques relating to the secure storage, maintenance, and retrieval of data. Techniques described in this disclosure may prevent, limit, or otherwise insulate the data from unauthorized access by hackers, rogue devices, and unauthorized users. In some examples, a computing system may store a file by fracturing the file into multiple data blocks, encrypting the data blocks or the data stored within the data blocks, and storing the data blocks in scattered locations on a network. Further, the computing system may occasionally move at least some of the stored data blocks, and may, upon moving such data blocks, reencrypt the moved data blocks with a different encryption key. Still further, the computing system may inject fake data and/or fake data blocks into the system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for interrupting disclosure of sensitive information are described. Sensitive information data associated with a user is maintained. A primary device detects commencement of a voice input to a secondary device. As the voice input is detected by the primary device, the voice input is analyzed to determine the content of the voice input. The content is compared to the sensitive information data to determine whether the voice input contains sensitive information. When the primary device determines the voice input contains sensitive information, a speaker of the primary device is controlled to generate a noise canceling signal which interrupts receipt of further sensitive information by the secondary device.

Abstract: The invention provides a power generation device comprising at least two generating arrangements, each adapted to generate a voltage output through the relative motion of two differently charged generating elements, the generating elements having some separation distance (which may be zero or non-zero). The arrangements are co-operatively configured in such a way that the separation distances between their respective elements are reciprocally related: an increase in one leads to a related decrease in the other. By combining these two signal outputs, a single voltage, current or power output may be provided in a self-regulating manner by the device whose amplitude is substantially independent of any changes or variations in the separation distance between elements of either of the two arrangements.
