Abstract: Apparatus for use with a computer to secure the computer's stored data against malware in the computer's central processing unit (CPU). The apparatus comprises a keyboard and display. The keyboard is connected to the computer's central bus, and a secure connection to the computer's data storage device. The secure connection is operable independent of the CPU. The storage device comprises a file system to manage the stored data independent of the CPU. The keyboard is configured for displaying, on the display, the stored data independent of the CPU. The keyboard, storage device and secure connection operate to protect data and prevent the CPU from accessing the protected data. The computer may be networked and configured to authenticate the computer's user and securely communicate data between another network computer and the keyboard and/or monitor of the computer independent of the computer's CPU.

Abstract: Coordinate information for an element of a project map comprises a user-selectable logistical indicator selected from a plurality of logistical indicators, each representing a different a manner of handling a project component and each uniquely represented by a predetermined visual indicium. The coordinate information, the map element and the logistical indicator are associated with electronic information. Using coordinate information provided by users, the map is displayed the predetermined visual indicia associated with the logistical indicators of the coordinate information plotted on the map elements. Each plotted visual indicium is selectable by a user to display at least a portion of the electronic information associated with the logistical indicator represented by that predetermined visual indicia. The result is to an electronic information management tool which provides a visual overview of the logistical indicators that have been selected by users for map components.
