Abstract: An authentication and encryption computer system and method are disclosed. An encrypted channel is established with a first device. Transaction information is received over the encrypted channel, including an instrument identifier, wherein the instrument identifier is tokenized, a first amount for item acquisition by a first person, a second amount specified by the first person, and identification information of a second person. An identity of a user of a second device is authenticated to determine that the user is the second person and in response to such authentication, a user interface is provided, including the second amount and an identification of one or more entities is displayed. An instruction is received to distribute at least a portion of the second amount to specified entities. A secure communication is established via remote systems and a portion of the second amount is distributed among respective destinations associated with the specified entities.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for loading tube bundles on a railcar includes placing the tube bundles lengthwise on the car and stacked above the car to form packs. These packs are spaced longitudinally one from another on the car. Spacing bags are placed within the longitudinally extending spaces. Plates are displaced one from another by the spacing bags to push against the ends of the packs.

Abstract: A method for loading tube bundles on a railcar includes placing the tube bundles lengthwise on the car and stacked above the bed of the car to form tube bundle packs. The packs are separated by panels. A spacing block is configured to go within the longitudinally extending remaining space left over after loading a finite number of packs. This spacing block include parallel plates which are rigidly displaced one from another by blocks. Padding is arranged on the outer side of the plates and the panels. Padding is arranged on the bulkheads as well. The panels and spacing block may be tied to the railcar through boards and dunnage.
