    摘要: A system and method is provided for an on-demand advertising information vault so that advertisers may establish accounts for distributing advertisements on-line to potential subscribers. The on-demand information vault also provides for consumers to subscribe to advertisements from advertisers based on the consumer's preferences of categories of products or services. An advertiser may also establish rewards for viewing their advertisements for inducing consumers to subscribe to their advertising service. In this way, a consumer may agree to receive only certain types of advertisements and receive remuneration for viewing the advertisements. The vault mechanisms may also provide for protecting the identities of the consumer and advertiser and avoids misusing personal data by others by employing security measures.

    摘要: Electrical power is generated from falling liquids such as captured rain water, gray water and black water in tall buildings using two or more reservoirs. Fill valves for each of the reservoirs are controlled to fill the first reservoir in a raised position while emptying the second reservoir in a lowered position. When full, the first reservoir is dropped to the lowered position while imparting mechanical energy to an electrical generator and while raising the second reservoir. Next, the second reservoir is filled until full while the first reservoir is emptied, followed by dropping the second reservoir to the lowered position while imparting mechanical energy to the electrical generator and while raising the first reservoir. The cycle is repeated so that electrical generation from the falling of the liquid avoids the liquid contacting or passing through a turbine or impeller.

    摘要: A method for monitoring water consumption. A set of locations in a fluid transport system in a structure is monitored for sounds generated by a fluid flowing at an endpoint of the fluid transport system. Current acoustic data is generated for the sounds detected from monitoring the set of locations. The current acoustic data is compared with historical acoustic data to form a difference. A determination is made as to whether the difference exceeds a threshold. An action is performed in response to determining that the difference exceeds the threshold.

    摘要: Techniques for tracking the position and movement of a mobile node within a field of fixed nodes are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, positional information generated from neighboring nodes in the field of nodes along with positional information obtained from the mobile node itself is compiled and used to track the location of the mobile node. The field of fixed nodes may relay positional information to interested nodes within the field in order to communicate the movement of the mobile node. Based on the positional information of the mobile node, the mobile node can be tracked, and an estimated time of arrival and a likelihood of reaching a defined point or a fixed node can be computed. Additionally, fixed nodes may use the estimated time of arrival and likelihood calculations to initiate anticipatory processing if the mobile node is likely to encounter the fixed node.

    摘要: A system and method for providing an information vault so that individual owners of personal data may control and manage the access and dissemination of the personal data and provides for the owner of the personal data to receive compensation for the use of the personal data, thus, in effect, the personal data becomes a valuable commodity analogous to money. A business model is provided that allows competitive, unbiased trusted third parties whose business is protecting the information analogous to how a commercial bank protects money. Centralized protected storage of personal data is provided, thereby minimizing the number of copies that may be in existence. Second party access to the centralized storage of personal data may be made on-demand, as required for commerce, with a provision for assessing fees for accesses.

    摘要: Disclosed are a method of and system for assuring a person's identity. A first party registers with an identity service and gives that service a first set of answers to a set of questions and additional data; the identity service gives the first party identification information; and the first party, through interacting with the identity service, establishes its identity with a second party. To do this, the first party gives the second party the identification information and a second set of answers to the set of questions. The second party sends the identification information and the second set of answers to the identity service. The service analyzes the identification information and the first and second sets of answers to determine an identification quality rating for the first party, and sends that rating to the second party.
