Abstract: Disclosed is a method of navigating a spinal subarachnoid space in a living being, that includes percutaneously introducing a device into the spinal subarachnoid space at an entry location. The device has a first passageway that is sized to slidably receive, and work with, at least a guidewire. The device can be a catheter or a sheath. The method can also include advancing the device within the spinal subarachnoid space at least more than 10 centimeters from the entry location. Alternatively, the method can include advancing the device within the spinal subarachnoid space to facilitate intracranial access with a second device introduced through the first passageway. Also disclosed is a device suited for attachment to a patient's skin, such as a sheath, that includes an elongated member, a skin-attachment apparatus having a flexible skin-attachment flap, and a valve apparatus. The skin-attachment apparatus and the valve apparatus may be coupled to the elongated member in spaced relation to each other.

Abstract: A system for controlling the distribution and use of digital works (101) using digital
tickets. In the present invention, a "digital ticket" is used to entitle the ticket holder to exercise
some usage right (102) with respect to a digital work. Usage rights are used to define how a
digital work may be used or distributed. Each usage right may specify a digital ticket which
must be present before the right may be exercised. Digital works are stored in repositories
which enforce digital works usage rights (105) when usage of a digital work is requested by a
requesting repository (103,104). Each repository has a "generic ticket agent" which punches
tickets. In some instances only the generic ticket agent is necessary. In other instances,
punching by a "special ticket agent" residing on another repository may be needed.
