Abstract: A system for basing drones is described. A network of geographically diverse hangars provides storage and charging locations as well as backhaul communications infrastructure and video monitoring. As drones are needed, a central command point tasks an available drone, which may or may not already be located in proximity to a target. If additional drones are needed, drones can be flown to the area of interest and continuous coverage provided by charging drones while an active drone is conducting the mission, then rotating charged drones into the active mission. Structures for the hangars, the overall system, and methods of operation are described.

Abstract: Techniques for providing a self-contained electronic signature are disclosed. In some embodiments, techniques for providing a self-contained electronic signature include recording an audit trail for a plurality of events associated with an electronic signature of an electronic document; embedding the audit trail in the electronic document; and digitally signing the electronic document, in which the electronic document including the embedded audit trail and the electronic signature are secured by the digital signature. In some embodiments, the audit trail is embedded in metadata of the electronic document, a body of the electronic document, or both the metadata and body of the electronic document. In some embodiments, digitally signing the electronic document includes a certifying signature provided by a service provider of an electronic signature service.

Abstract: A system and method for conducting a game including a first question and answer round (or alternatively, a physical challenge round) where a contestant can accumulate points and a second auction round where the contestant can bid on lots/prizes with the accumulated points. The system and method provide for presenting at least one of a mental or physical challenge to the at least two players; crediting a predetermined number of points to each of the at least two players based on an outcome of the challenge; auctioning at least one predetermined prized to the at least two players, the at least two players using the credited points to bid for the predetermined prize; and awarding the at least one predetermined prize to one of the at least two players with the highest bid.

Abstract: Systems and techniques to provide offline access in a document control system. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes: receiving a request from a client, and pre-authorizing the client, in response to the request, to allow actions by a user as a member of a group of users by sending to the client offline access information including a first key associated with the group, the first key being useable at the client to access an electronic document by decrypting a second key in the electronic document. Receiving a request can involve receiving a request from the client to take an action with respect to a second document. The technique can also include verifying the user at the client as an authenticated user, and the offline access information can include user-specific keys, group-specific keys, a policy, and a document revocation list.

Abstract: Systems and techniques to provide distributed document version control. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes: receiving a request to take an action with respect to a distributed electronic document, identifying, in response to the request, information associated with the distributed electronic document, the associated information indicating a second electronic document different from the distributed electronic document, and imparting information concerning the second electronic document to force the action to be taken with respect to the second electronic document. Receiving the request can occur at a server, and the request can be from a client to take the action with respect to the distributed electronic document, retained locally at the client. The associated information can be retained at the server, and imparting the second document information can involve relating the second document information (e.g., the second document or a link to it) from the server to the client.
