Abstract: The invention relates to piggyback secondary payloads, a device for and a method of attaching piggyback secondary payloads, including a primary satellite and at least one secondary payload, such as a deployable microsatellite, affixed instrument package or the like, wherein the secondary payload is mounted on the nadir end of the primary satellite, preferably employing a universal adapter between the primary satellite and the at least one secondary payload.

Abstract: A stay-in-place concrete footings form is used for forming a concrete footing between a spaced-apart pair of the stay-in-place concrete footings forms. Each concrete footing form is elongate and has a cavity inside the form. Each form has a pair of elongate sides wherein openings are formed in the elongate sides to permit water to flow into the cavity. Each form has a dovetail pin or dovetail slot formed along the lengthwise extent of both sides of the form. The dovetails permit clamps, having a mating dovetail slot or dovetail pin, to be clamped to the form for anchoring the form to the ground with a stake carried by the clamps.

Abstract: The invention relates to a piggyback satellite, a device for and a method of attaching piggyback satellites with multiple payloads, including a primary satellite and at least one secondary payload, such as a deployable micro satellite, affixed instrument package or the like, wherein the secondary payload is mounted on the nadir end of the primary satellite, preferably employing a universal adapter between the primary satellite and the at least one secondary payload that releases at least one secondary payload or the like in a certain orbit in space for allowing the secondary payload to continue its journey independently in space for transmitting and receiving data.

Abstract: A system and method of using a coded language to market assets, including goods and/or services. A first asset can be offered with materials that are at least partially written in an uncoded language. A second asset, that is related to the first asset, can be offered with materials that are at least partially written in a coded language. Common words can be used on the materials corresponding to the first asset and the materials corresponding to the related second asset. The common words on the materials corresponding to the first asset can be written in the uncoded language, while the common words on the materials corresponding to the related second asset can be written in the coded language. The uncoded words can be used to decipher the coded words, as well as other words written in the same coded language.

Abstract: A toy vehicle set. The toy vehicle set includes a toy vehicle including a steering mechanism, and a toy launcher to selectively energize the toy vehicle for movement while selectively securing the toy vehicle in a fixed position. The toy launcher looks approximately the same as the steering mechanism of the toy vehicle.
