Abstract: A memory device (14) having therein a plurality of memory blocks (10, 30, 80) each having a plurality of storage cells (12). A data vector (20, 20a, 20b), is distributed according to an assignment matrix (16, 90) to the storage cells (12). A reverse assignment matrix (24) can be used to recover the data bits (18). The memory block storage method can be accomplished entirely numerically or using a combination of analog and digital circuitry. Write blocks (40, 100) and recovery blocks (60, 110) are examples of such circuitry.

Abstract: A web interface method (300) incorporating a system for communicating between devices (10 and a method for communicating between devices (200) wherein a user interacts with objects (306) in an abstract space (302). Results of the interaction are interpreted in an abstract language (18) and then translated to a universal language (20) such that input devices (12, 14) are independent of the specific type of device (12, 14) with which they might be interacting. Communication of the universal language (20) can optionally be over the Internet (22).

Abstract: A method for communication of information is described. The method provides for a much greater number of communication channels than available with conventional technologies. The number of communication channels that can be obtained is of the order of n.sup.2, where n is the number of physical channels available. Further, the method provides robustness in the presence of noise, interference, path delays, and other adverse environmental conditions. It is also compatible with a number of privacy insuring methods, and has an inherent resistance to casual prying.
