Abstract: The present invention relates to an improvement-node used for deployment on a peer to peer network. The improvement-node is programmed for monitoring the network to receive communication messages there from and to forward said communication messages, optionally changing the communications radius parameters to an optimal or near optimal value. The improvement-node can forward messages from one network to another or from one network to the same network. The invention also provides a method for monitoring communication messages for selected objects by nodes on a peer to peer network. The method includes interposing the improvement-node on the network.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a new method of reducing evaporation in systems that maintain aquatic life by using compounds that are less dense than water that when added to said systems would float and sit upon the surface of the water in the system and reduce evaporation by forming a barrier between the water and the surrounding air. The barrier is formed by adding various compounds to the water. The compounds rise to the surface of the water, sit upon the surface of the water, spread out, and form a barrier to reduce evaporation by limiting the amount of water that is exposed to the surrounding air.

Abstract: Prophylactic treatment methods are provided for protection of individuals and/or populations against infection from airborne pathogens. In particular, prophylactic treatment methods are provided comprising administering a sodium channel blocker or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof to one or more members of a population at risk of exposure to or already exposed to one or more airborne pathogens, either from natural sources or from intentional release of pathogens into the environment.

Abstract: A telecommunication system includes a first network having a first node and a second node which can communicate with each other. The system includes a third node separate and apart from the first network. The system includes a communication portion in communication with the first network and the third node through which the third node is only able to communicate with the first node, but not with the second node through the first node. A telecommunication system using the Internet includes a first network having a first node having a first port, a second node having a second port and a primary server in communication with each other. The system includes a second network having a third node and a fourth node and a client server in communication with each other. The third node has a connection with the port of the first node via the client server and through the Internet and the primary server using gateway methodology so the second node cannot be accessed by the third node through the first node.

Abstract: A method of controlling access to an Internet based controlled service, provided on a content server includes the step of using a CLI-enabled telephone having an account with a telephone network service provider, to call a specified destination at which a responder to the call retrieves the calling number and passes that number to a matching server. The call may be either a voice call or a text message, made with a mobile (cellular) telephone. The Internet site on the content server is accessed using an Internet terminal and the telephone number of the CLI-enabled telephone is submitted to the content server, for forwarding to the matching server. The matching server compares the numbers passed to it by the responder with the numbers passed to it by the content server and if a match is found, then the content server allows access to the Internet based service.

Abstract: A method of inlaying metal in non-conductive materials utilizes conventional electroforming or electroplating techniques to build up metal in grooves or channels formed in the surface of the material. An adhesive is deposited in the grooves, and a cathode is positioned in the adhesive. A metallic base is applied onto or into the adhesive in electrical communication with the cathode, and then the material is immersed in an electrolytic solution wherein metal is built up in the grooves by electrolysis using the metallic base as a cathode.
