Abstract: A system for manipulating a computer file and/or program. The system includes a serving device having access to a computer file and/or program which is unencrypted and which can encrypt the unencrypted computer file and/or program to become an encrypted computer file and/or program and transfer it. The system includes a connector connected to the serving device on which the encrypted computer file and/or program travels and to which the serving device transfers the encrypted computer file and/or program. The system includes a client device which receives the encrypted computer file and/or program and decrypts the encrypted computer file and/or program back to the unencrypted computer file and/or program.

Abstract: The present invention is a method and system to compress and/or convert audio and video signals into a static audio file format and/or a static video file format, respectively, in which a playing device can be instructed to commence playing specific sounds through an audio output device and/or commence displaying specific images composed of specific colors displayed, and/or replicated, within a plurality of discrete pixels on a video output device; continue to play, and/or replicate, such sounds or display, and/or replicate, such colors within such pixels without further input from the static audio and/or static video file; then cease playing the specific sounds and/or commence displaying, and/or replicated different colors within such pixels upon receipt of instruction from the static audio file and/or static video file.

Abstract: A method for transferring desired digital video or audio signals. The method comprises the steps of forming a connection through telecommunications lines between a first memory of a first party and a second memory of a second party. The first memory has the desired digital video or audio signals. Then, there is the step of selling electronically by the first party to the second party through telecommunications lines, the desired digital video or audio signals in the first memory. Then, there is the step of transferring the desired digital video or audio signals from the first memory of the first party to the second memory of the second party through the telecommunications lines while the second memory is in possession and control of the second party. Additionally, there is a system for transferring digital video or audio signals.

Abstract: An audio-visual interactive puzzle includes a rigid puzzle form defining a predetermined number of form cutouts, an upper graphic disposed on the form upper surface, and a plurality of respective removable puzzle pieces, each having a peripheral configuration conforming to that of an associated form cutout and bearing a piece graphic. A flexible membrane bears on the underside thereof a plurality of conductors in predetermined relative disposition, and a plurality of respective lower graphics overlie the flexible membrane and underlie the form cutouts. A spacer includes respective spacer cutouts generally corresponding to and disposed to underlie the form cutouts, and a conductive ground plane underlies the spacer cutouts. An electronic sound generator generates respective predetermined associated sounds in response to the input signals applied thereto.
