Abstract: An improved measuring system that aligns with the decimal system and the speed of light, and yields user friendly results when converting between U.S. linear, metric, and the speed-of-light measuring systems. It is an intelligent system, one that society will easily learn and embrace.

Abstract: An improved calendar system that calculates the 25th leap day with precision and determines which centuries are to receive the 25th leap day and which centuries do not. A calendar that has all four seasons starting at the beginning of a month instead of in the middle of a month. A calendar that has the New Year occur on the first day of spring when annual life forms begin anew. An intelligent time reckoning mechanism that meets the needs of any advanced civilization.

Abstract: The Gregorian calendar system is modified by continuing to add a 25th leap year day every four hundred years and then not adding a 25th leap year day every three thousand two hundred years. Then, after 27 cycles of the 3,200 year period, a 25th leap year day is added to align the calendar with the solar year. By doing so, the need for eliminating days from the calendar as is required by the Gregorian calendar as prescribed by Britannica Encyclopedia is avoided.

Abstract: A measuring system uses light seconds as it base measurement, and particularly defines a new foot as one billionth of a light second. Based on a speed of light of 186,282.3970512 current miles per light second, a new foot of the measuring system equals 11.80285267716 conventional inches. The system also defines 10 new inches as a new foot, and a new inch would equal 1.180285267716 old inches or one tenth of a new foot. A new mile would equal 5,000 new feet. A ratio of 1.5 is used to convert to new metric units so that a new kilometer is 1.5 times a new mile.
