Abstract: A server system for mobile device event control with digital images comprising: a processor configured to execute instructions; a memory containing instructions when executed on the processor, causes the processor to perform operations that: receive a digital image from a mobile device; identify a first element of the digital image and a second element of the digital image, wherein the first element of the digital image comprises a user-selected content, and wherein the second element comprises a depiction of a user action; determine an event trigger identified by the first element and the second element, wherein the event trigger comprises a mobile device operating system command, and wherein the mobile device operating system command comprises a command, to execute an image search with an online image search engine accessed by a web browser operating in the mobile device.

Abstract: Disclosed are a system, method, and article of manufacture for credit deferment in a private communications networking are disclosed. A media content in a digital format is generated. The media-content to a server that manages a website available only within the private computer network is uploaded if a provider of the content defers a specified number of credits to be acquired in the future to a manager of the website. Access to the media content is provided to a member user of the private computer network. The media content is made available for the member user via the website. A unit of credit to the website manager is allotted upon each viewing of the media content up to the specified number of credits. The unit of credit is allotted to the provider of the media content after the specified numbers of credits have been allotted to the website manager.

Abstract: Disclosed are a system, method, and article of manufacture for allocation of popularity credit in a private communications network. An entity member of the private communications network provides a media content to a website member of the private communications network. Another entity member of the private communications network provides an advertisement content. A server hosts the website. The website includes the advertisement content, the media content and a hyperlink to a vendor website outside the private communications network. An administration server includes a verification module that determines whether a user purchased a good or a service from the vendor website. The administration server includes a popularity credit manager that generates a list of entities that provided the media content or hosted the media content. The popularity credit manager allocates a popularity credit to the each listed entity member if the user purchased the good or the service from the vendor website.

Abstract: Disclosed are a system, method and article of manufacture for are disclosed. A first relationship is created between a first node comprising a first commodity and a second node comprising a second commodity. The second commodity is of a greater or equal value to the first commodity. The first relationship comprises an obligation of the first node to provide the first commodity to the second node in the event of a trade. A second relationship is created between the second node and a third node comprising a third commodity. The third commodity is of a greater or equal value to the second commodity. The second relationship comprises an obligation of the first node to provide the first commodity to the second node in the event of the trade. The trade is initiated by creating a third relationship between the third node and the first node.

Abstract: An apparatus for electronically switching a detonation device is configured to arm an energy source upon receiving a first signal and discharge the energy source to the detonation device upon receiving and validating a second signal. An explosive device comprising a detonation device electrically coupled to an electronic switching device is also provided, wherein the switching device comprises a microcontroller configured to validate the first signal and the second signal. The detonation device may comprise a semiconductor bridge device configured to activate the explosive device upon receiving a charge across a first terminal and a second terminal from the switching device. Methods of operation are also disclosed.

Abstract: An ordnance system and method for controlling an ordnance system is provided. The system and method utilizes an addressable common, or shared, bus configured to transmit and receive data thereon. The addressable bus has further coupled thereto an ordnance controller including a control process and a telemetry process configured to control the addressable bus. The ordnance system further includes at least one initiator coupled to the addressable bus and responsive to the control process and at least one telemetry sensor coupled to the addressable bus and configured to interact with the telemetry process. The method provides control for the ordnance system by receiving telemetry data from a telemetry sensor over an addressable bus with an ordnance being further controlled by an ordnance controller over the addressable bus.
