The apparatus may determine a first identifier of the first counterparty based on elements of the message data disposed within corresponding message fields, and transmit notification data to a device operable by the second counterparty, which may present portions of the notification data within a digital interface. The apparatus may receive review data indicative of a review associated with the data exchange from the device, and store the first identifier and the review data in a data repository.

Abstract: The AAMD was designed to address the concerns of deep space travel, in both the distance and time required. Today's rocket propulsion systems rely on expelling large amounts of fuel for short intervals and then coasting long intervals. This method is both expensive and time consuming where deep space is concerned. The AAMD is an alternative to rocket systems and it enables a vehicle to have a constant acceleration rates and deceleration rates. For instance, if the AAMD could provide a constant 1 G of acceleration and 1 G of deceleration, it would take less than a week to go from earth to mars, depending on their locations, whereas today's fastest rockets are 7 to 9 months, for the same trip. Slow and long travel times also are not good for the human body as the bones and muscle begin to deteriorate. The AAMD with its constant G applied to the occupants, will enjoy an artificial gravity produced by means of the constant acceleration. This would allow the occupants to have no breakdown in bones and muscle.
