Abstract: A manufacturing system for securely and remotely manufacturing a three-dimensional (3D) object can include the mechanical processing machine, a security module, and a system server. The mechanical processing machine can be configured to manufacture the 3D object. The security module can be configured to transmit the machine instructions to the mechanical processing machine. The system server can include a processor, a memory, and a marketplace subsystem. The memory can have a tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium with processer-executable instructions stored thereon. The marketplace can include a content creator module and a user module. The content creator module can be configured to receive and store at least one of 3D object data, interfacing settings, the machine instructions, and combinations thereof. The mechanical processing machine does not receive the 3D object data.

Abstract: A local area networking method includes a receiving by a system server unique identifiers associated with the first mobile device and other devices of a local area network. The system server correlates a listing of user identifiers and user profiles with the unique identifiers received from the first mobile device. The system server then communicates the listing of user identifiers and user profiles correlated with the unique identifiers to the first mobile device. A user of the first mobile device is thereby permitted to view the user identifiers and user profiles relating to the other devices registered with the system server, including the other devices in the local area network. The system server may further receive a geographical location of the local area network from the first mobile device, and associate one of a data file and an executable file from the first mobile device with the geographical location.

Abstract: A computer-implemented social networking method includes a step of maintaining in a computer system a plurality of social network applications. Each of the social network applications includes a topic having a goal and a title, and is displayed in a graphical user interface. A plurality of users is permitted to join one of the social network applications. Each of the users has a virtual user card with user information that meets threshold requirements set by an owner of the one of the social network applications joined by the users. An adoption of the one of the social network application joined by the users is allowed by the computer system. Control of the social network application is transferred by the adoption from the owner to an adoptive user.
