Abstract: A method, system and apparatus that advantageously provide a security protocol for data security. The apparatus includes a random number generator for generating random numbers and a share calculator in communication with the random number generator, the share calculator processes the data to generate one or more encoded data shares where the processing is based at least in part on the random numbers. The apparatus may further include a router that routes the encoded data shares, a switching fabric and associated logic. The data security system includes one or more storage devices that store client data and a splitter that controls access to the client data stored on the one or more storage devices where the splitter apparatus encodes at least a portion of the client data that is stored on the one or more storage devices.

Abstract: Pulse Number Identification identifies things by counting electric pulses and sending a signal to a counterpart, (16), with a known identity at the specific pulse count it will accept a signal from its counterpart, (26), thereby establishing their similar identities.

Abstract: A wristwatch linear time display (32) is disclosed which can be read at a glance and requires very little display space. Additional functions are described which use the remaining surplus display space. These functions substantially increase the usefulness of wristwatches. Devices for the wearer to interact with the added functions are disclosed.The compact time display (32) may be located where it can be seen without turning a wrist. It may also be combined with other temporal displays to improve display clarity by eliminating clutter.

Abstract: A vehicle lamp for mounting on a vehicle and for providing a moving and variable light intensity display, including a lamp body having a display area for visually displaying light energy produced within the lamp body by a source of light energy, a first structure for focusing the light energy produced by the light source at the display area, and a second structure for providing related movement between the source of light and the first structure for producing variations in the focusing of the light energy at the display area to provide a moving and variable light intensity at the display area. The source of light may be a light bulb or a filament and the structure for focusing may be a reflector or a lens or combination thereof. The second structure may be a resilient mounting for either the light bulb, filament, reflector or lens or combinations thereof.
