Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems for redundantly securing data using an array of independent networks. Methods include the steps of: upon receiving a storage request and secret data for securely storing the secret data, independently requesting random data from each of at least one independent partner network out of an array of at least two independent partner networks; independently receiving the random data from each of at least one independent partner network, wherein respective random data is also stored on a respective independent partner network; cumulatively calculating complementary data as an encrypted form of the secret data with a complement function using the random data; and sending the complementary data to an independent storage partner network for storage, wherein the independent storage partner network is part of the array, and wherein the independent storage partner network is independent from at least one independent partner network.

Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems for a zero-knowledge cyber-notary. Methods include the steps of: upon receiving a request having details for performing a transaction, splitting the details into at least two data portions; independently sending at least two exclusive portions exclusively to each of at least two networks; wherein a given portion of a given network, is neither: sent nor accessible, neither whole nor in part; to another network other than the given network; upon each network independently identifying/authenticating a device associated with the request enabling the device to independently receive the portions from each network; enabling reassembly of the portions on the device to produce the details; enabling an approval/disapproval response of the request to be entered on the device; enabling independent transmittal of the response from the device to each network; and authorizing or declining the request based on the responses from at least two networks.

Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems for independent, personalized, video-synchronized, cinema-audio delivery and tracking. Methods include the steps of: upon receiving at least one film each having a video source file and at least one audio source file including at least one initial, digital alignment-marker for the video source file and at least one audio source file based on marker information, independently identifying at least one audio-subscriber device; upon receiving at least one request from at least one audio-subscriber device for audio-channel delivery, verifying at least one delivery authorization for at least one audio-subscriber device based on fulfillment criteria; and upon receiving at least one delivery-authorization confirmation, independently delivering and tracking at least one video-synchronized audio channel to each at least one audio-subscriber device.

Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and devices for distributed audio/video (A/V) synchronization and playback. Methods include the steps of: enabling identification of an A/V orchestrator by at least one external A/V system using a data-exchange protocol system; enabling configuration information to be available to at least one external A/V system; identifying A/V data from an A/V source to at least one external A/V system; repetitively synchronizing at least one respective system clock with an orchestra timing on the A/V orchestrator; and repetitively sending at least one synchronization notification to at least one external A/V system, wherein at least one synchronization notification is configured to: indicate a given timing in the orchestra timing during A/V playback, indicate a given position in the A/V data during A/V playback; and instruct at least one external A/V system to move to a currently-playing A/V segment in the A/V data for A/V playback.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer readable medium for monitoring a database and for determining aggregate I/O wait times (i.e. for a ‘target’ index or table) associated at least one I/O category selected from a plurality of I/O categories are disclosed herein.
