Abstract: A device for skewering a kebab including an enclosed substantially cylindrical casing. The casing includes a pair of ends including a right end and a left end, a cylindrical body having a first half hingedly attached to a second half, and a pair of slots including a right slot and a left slot. Each of the right end and the left end has a continuous outer edge and a middle portion disposed within the outer edge. An interior surface of the body proximal a right edge is disposed around the outer edge of the right end, and the interior surface of the body proximal a left edge is disposed around the outer edge of the left end. The right slot is disposed within the right end, and the left slot is disposed within the left end. A skewer is removably disposed within the casing through the pair of slots.

Abstract: A validation, redemption and reliable expiration system for valuable electronic promotional items provides an electronic promotion system without the need for merchant hardware. The electronic promotion system utilizes customer devices to scan one or more merchant tags to validate and redeem electronic promotional items. Once redeemed, the electronic promotional items are expired or invalidated locally on the customer device to prevent subsequent use. In this way, a full-featured promotion, loyalty card, and check-in system can be quickly and easily deployed at low or no hardware cost to the merchant, while preventing unauthorized use of valuable electronic promotional items.

Abstract: An authentication system for authentication and verification of data provides verification that stored data has not been tampered with or otherwise altered. The authentication system may be configured to interoperate with a variety of other systems, such as various data storage and retrieval systems. In this manner, the authentication and verification services can be used to enhance various systems with data verification capabilities. The authentication system may sign and verify signatures for data. In addition, the authentication system may be configured to verify the time of a data event, the timeliness of the data event, or both.

Abstract: A physical process causing the effect of preserving fish or meat food throughout long periods of time, tens of months, thereby preserving the properties of a fresh product, such as its color, smell, texture and taste, while preserving the proteic and vitaminic contents of the original product, is revealed. In the case of fish, the process consists of the following steps: a) Capturing, eviscerating, cleaning, and washing the fish, all in an hygienic environment; b) Keeping said fish under moderate cold, using ice scales or adequate cold facilities; c) Cutting the fish in agreement with the commercial requirements to be satisfied; d) Subjecting the fish to an initial quick freezing process reaching ?5° C.
