Abstract: Augmenting provides for networks of computers, operating on connection channels including the Internet and with-in Intranets, specifically designed to: host data and code without detection, and share encrypted messages, including messages with encryption algorithms and keys embedded within, without concern for public interception of the transmission. Without concern for detection or interception users can generate new algorithms and keys as often as they want. The augmentations include computers, dubbed “shadow computers,” within the design which are known by not accessible except from “White Listed” and other authentication technique paired companions.

Abstract: A vehicle height sensing system for determining and indicating to a user whether a vehicle height exceeds a clearance height of an overhead obstruction includes a display panel is configured to be visible from a vehicle when the vehicle is driving toward the overhead obstruction. A measurement device is in communication with and operationally coupled to the display panel. The measurement device measures the vehicle height and communicates the vehicle height to the display panel. The measurement device includes a pair of poles that are positioned on opposite shoulders of a roadway and are aligned with each other across the roadway. Each of the pair of poles is in communication with the other to determine the vehicle height. The display panel provides a positive indicium when the vehicle height is less than the clearance height and a negative indicium when the vehicle height is greater than the clearance height.
