Abstract: An apparatus for graphically displaying analytical data, comprising a generic model to graphically represent a complex set of physical characteristics potentially leading to catastrophic failure of a physical system. A central region represents failure of the physical system; a series of concentric ridges represents level of function. Wedge shaped regions upon the ridges represent predetermined subsystems of the physical system. An icon is displayed with changes in the icon proportional to time, and any one or more of color, position, shape, and rotation of the icon representing prescribed analysis of the physical characteristics. Mappings correlate predetermined characteristics of the system with failure of the physical system, levels of functioning represented by the ridges, subsystems represented by the wedge shaped regions, and/or analysis of the physical characteristics represented in the icon. A sensor interface receives measurements, and a graphics generator prepares a presentation of the model.

Abstract: A universal system and apparatus for the creation, storage, management, manipulation and display of a unique human biometric signature containing both static and dynamic coded information regardless of background or nationality, comprising a user interface to receive data regarding life statistics, a first set of mappings correlating each life statistic with a coded representation for the life statistic, a second set of mappings correlating the coded representation with one of a series of linear positions. Coded life statistics comprise current name, sexual identity, date of birth, country of birth, place of birth, maiden name of the birth mother, name at birth, ethnic and tribal classification, blood type, occupation, country and location of residence. Ethnic classifications are combined from birth parents. Location codes are derived from International Civil Aviation Organization codes. The biometric signature is displayed as an alphanumeric string read from left to right and/or as a two-dimensional barcode.
