Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed of a transportation pathway in the form of a road (10), which comprises a pavement sub-base material (12) located at surrounding ground (14), which has a layer which includes a conductive material. In one example, the layer is located on an uppermost surface (16) of the pavement sub-base (12). In the embodiment shown, the conductive material is in the form of a layer of asphalt (18) containing dispersed particulate conductive particles (20) in the form of graphene. A sufficient quantity of the conductive particles (20) is located a short depth from the uppermost road surface (22) of the asphalt layer (18), so that when the surface (22) is exposed to a primary magnetic field (28) generated by an external magnetic source positioned above the pathway, for example a powered hoverboard (24) or other vehicle, these conductive particles (20) create an induced magnetic field (26) which repels the primary magnetic field (28) being generated by the hoverboard (24).

Abstract: There is described a method for providing a user with a temporary access to a social network, comprising: receiving, from a user machine, an activation code comprising temporal information from which a temporary access period during which the user is allowed to access a social network platform is determinable; validating the activation code; determining, from the activation code, an end point in time at which an access of the user to the temporary social network ends; upon successful validation, providing the user with access to the social network platform until the end point in time is reached; and starting from the end point in time, preventing the user from accessing the social network platform.
