Abstract: This invention is directed toward a method for facilitating secure communications on the Internet that allows individual actors to be registered, their identities to be confirmed at an acceptable level of confidence, and their association with, and/or ownership of, certain user identifiers (such as email addresses, phone numbers, domain names, application usernames, and the like), to be verified. The invention also enables Internet actors to communicate securely and to encrypt or sign digital messages and/or documents between each other while maintaining sole possession and control of their private cryptographic keys. To ensure that the integrity of user information has not been compromised, the invention includes embodiments that periodically backup crucial data in a publicly accessible blockchain format that can be independently verified and is difficult to alter.

Abstract: A folder system with an accordion spine 16, and a method of making same is disclosed. The folder may have a plurality of insert elements 52, 60 either at manufacture or by a stub system which are bound into the spine at the valleys 32 of the web which forms the spine. The web is made of outer zig-zag web 40, with the inner web 42, 44, 46 joining adjacent insert elements and the outer web, to create a strong spine of web and inserts.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for creating, maintaining and applying a dataset that can be used to synchronize multiple instances of a data store. The dataset includes a sequentially-ordered sequence of change sets associated with the data store, wherein each change set includes zero or more entries that specify how the state of certain entities in the data store have changed since state changes represented by a previous change set in the sequence were applied to the data store. When a new change set is added to the dataset, any entries in any previously-added change sets dealing with the entities identified in the new change set are removed. Consequently, the dataset provides a concise and complete representation of all the state changes that have occurred to the data store since a known origin state.

Abstract: A software based method and hardware system for managing, evaluation and treatment of physical structures for pest control is disclosed having a grid/graph paper display pane, icons positionable thereon, and link to a data base and a report writer which maintains a tally of icons by type and calculates pricing in the report. The report and grid may be synchronized so that changes in either are reflected in the other. The system and method also disclosed a briefcase system for tagging images from disparate program run on a portion of the display screen and concatenating tagged images into a file for later export.

Abstract: A file folder system is disclosed which allows the manufacturer to display indicia information (such as source indicia, such as a trademark) to the folder without detracting from the utility of the folder itself. Several embodiments are disclosed include a notch in one folder panel which creates a window in the other panel where the indicia in imprinted. In another embodiment, one panel is punched through to reveal portions of the other panel. These apertures are formed in the pattern of the desired indicia, so that the user can determine if there are contents in the folder and simultaneously, the indicia is permanently displayed without obstructing the use of the folder.

Abstract: A file carrier and storage system is disclosed which can be used for any type of files and is particularly well suited for transporting hanging files which have hooks which extend beyond the file. A container provides a storage and support structure for the files while a carrier allowed batches of files to be transported in a structure which slideably receives the container. A plurality of containers may be used with a single carrier so that the container can be used as shelf or drawer holders for files. In this way, non hanging (suspended) files can also be conveniently used.

Abstract: The present invention is directed most particularly to wireless communication systems for interconnection with telephone systems, and more particularly to methods and apparatus to suppress unwanted and annoying audio spikes or bursts that infiltrate the wireless system from ultimately reaching the user's earpiece. An embodiment of the invention is directed to a telephone headset amplifier system with a noise blanking or squelching capability, which attenuates the incoming audio signal when the incoming signal exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: An electronic program-guide (EPG) system enables a viewer of a television program in a particular category to surf sideways to another program in the same category. The EPG system indicates the availability of such other channels carrying programs in the same category in a channel hat superimposed on the video at the top of the picture. The channel hat may also contain the channel number, title and category of the program in the channel just selected, and it is displayed for a few seconds. Normal surfing up and down to higher or lower-numbered channels is also supported in the usual way in response to the up and down arrow-keys on a remote control device. When the viewer presses the right or left-arrow key, the EPG system surfs sideways to the next higher or lower channel carrying a program in the same category as the current program.
