  • Patent number: 9177489
    Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus and method for the money transactions required in the selling of merchandise or media content on the Internet or other public or private network. File transport and access are based on a consumer advantaged legal definition for ownership. The end-user is given ownership and allowed to provide data input to generate keys. End-user controlled keys are generated on the premise that the sender or ultimate distributor of the original file need not maintain control over the keys once ownership has passed. Ownership is tracked and maintained with license metadata and credentials from multiple types of digital rights management systems to allow content protected transmission and storage. Non-audible or invisible code signal sequence(s) may provide traceability and absolute anonymity for the purchaser. This apparatus can be used to conduct transactions off the web so that business can be done on the web.

  • Publication number: 20070258159
    Abstract: Hand engraved etchings, computer generated sandblastings, transparencies, or any other photo or art work may be precisely and deliberately placed within the interior of a lighted “shadow box” fine art frame. Those photo and art works are then either directly or indirectly applied onto or used in conjunction with glass, acrylic, or other framing components, to create a plurality of lights, glass, half-silvered glass, and mirrors within the photo/art frame housing. The framing components secure the glass and mirrors in various diametrically situated positions as to cause an illusion of eternal reflection of not only the lighting elements, but also of the art work. The Photo/Art Frame Eternal Depth Illusion invention brings together the worlds of photo and art framing together with the infinity lighting concept.
