Abstract: A computational platform and related methods that generally combines the object model and the programming model into a single set of constructs (e.g., Forms, relations, entities, relationships). These constructs provide the characteristics of inheritance, linkage, immutability, versioning, and substitution in a single structure that can store the objects, processes, and instructions/ programs, and provide for convergence and divergence of information in information streams, a database graph, or a database web distributed across a set of nodes.

Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for a network operating system. The system includes a complex data medium that enables the continuous reconciliation of the collaborative information process and product. The system generally increases productivity by enabling a network dynamic among knowledge workers. The system unifies e-mail and shared file management, synchronous and asynchronous collaboration, serial and parallel work flow, top-down and bottom-up collaboration, and information lifecycle management.

Abstract: A system and method for a network operating system includes a complex data medium that enables the continuous reconciliation of the collaborative information process and product. The system and related methods generally increases productivity by enabling a network dynamic among knowledge workers. In another aspect, system and related method may unify e-mail and shared filed management, synchronous and asynchronous collaboration, serial and parallel work flow, top-down and bottom-up collaboration, and information lifecycle management, for examples. Moreover, a managed exclusion may be applied and/or released to control access sharing.

Abstract: A multi-conic shell and a process of creating multi-conic shells from flat materials which are bent and thereby forced into the configuration of continuous regions from oppositely oriented, tangential cones to create variably configured building structures and variably configured lightweight structural panels. The process of creating multi-conic shells from connecting cone segments corresponding to a theoretical array of regular (opening downward) and inverted (opening upward) cones provides an unlimited number of variations for the design of building structures and the design of structural panels. Such multi-conic structures achieve excellent strength to weight ratios by distributing loads into tension and corresponding tetrahedron structures which propogate throughout the shell.

Abstract: A method of forming the roof/wall portion of a conical building structure is disclosed. A generally two-dimensional panel structure is first constructed at or near ground level. The panel structure has a shape generally comprising from one to three contiguous quadrants of a theoretical square configuration. This shape has at least one primary peripheral corner coincident with one of the corners of the square configuration, and two secondary peripheral corners intermediate the corners of the square configuration. The secondary peripheral corners are formed by a peripheral edge of the panel structure coincident with the boundary of the square configuration and a secondary edge directed inwardly with respect to that boundary. The panel structure so formed is flexed into a downwardly opening conical configuration.
