Abstract: In a system and method for encoding data for transmission, the data may be encoded using principles of superpositioning, holography and entanglement over a distributed network. The data is encoded into a virtual tokenized state, called a holographic token or Q-Token, an exists in a superposed, holographic and distributed form throughout the network. Unique properties of the holographic token include ultra-high integrity and availability to any node authorized to acquire the holographic token, while enabling cryptographic certification and rich data processing functionality. The example system is highly efficient, low-power, anti-fragile, and resilient to attacks of various kinds. The data encoded by the method and system cannot be cloned because the encoded data exists in a distributed form over the network. Hence, an intrinsic identity and integrity of the encoded data is preserved through all operations or catastrophes even to large parts of the distributed network or persistence structures.

Abstract: A portable two-wheeled self-balancing personal transport vehicle comprises a single support platform having first and second foot placement sections, one or more inertial sensors operable to provide pitch data for the platform. The first foot placement section and the second foot placement section are associated with a first wheel and a second wheel respectively controlled by a first and a second drive motor. At least one load sensor provides first load data for the first foot placement section and at least one load sensor provides second load data for the second foot placement section. Control circuitry is connected to the first and second drive motors, and operable to transmit to the first and second drive motors balancing signals for self-balancing the support platform housing in response to the pitch data, as well as one or more steering torque signals in response to the first and second load data.

Abstract: The present invention is a kiosk that can regulate, control and distributing authorized products. The kiosk has a user interface that receives information about a user and authenticates the user's identity. The kiosk can accept a user's request to purchase a regulated product. The kiosk can then a regulator the user's request for approval and deliver the product to the user.
