Abstract: A system utilising known storage spaces (S), for example servers or Compact Disks, is characterised by the fact that the personal data base (PDB) consists of the sum of the unitary personal databases (UPDB1, UPDB2, UPDB3, , UPDBx), each of which comprises the owner (P1, P2, P3, , Px) of unitary personal data base (UPDB1, UPDB2, UPDB3, , UPDBx) and the storage space (S1, S2, S3, , Sx) of the owner (P1, P2, P3, , Px) of the unitary personal data base (UPDB1, UPDB2, UPDB3, , UPDBx), wherein each storage space contains individually encrypted data objects (O', O'', O''', , Oy), and the storage spaces (S1, S2, S3, , Sx) of various unitary personal database (UPDB1, UPDB2, UPDB3, , UPDBx) may be situated in one place or they may be distributed. The method of managing access to the personal data bases is based on this, that the sole owner (P) and at the same time the ultimate controller of the unitary personal data base (UPDB), especially the individual entity whom the data concern and/or whose property they are, exercises the original right of access to the storage space (S) through the granting or withdrawal of access licences (L) to data objects (O) in the storage space (S). The licence (L) determines the scope and conditions of access to the data object (O) in the storage space (S), wherein each creation of a data object in the unitary personal data base (UPDB) is automatically accompanied by an access licence (LO) to that data object granted to thw owner (P) of the unitary personal data base (UPDB). Use of some data objects (O) in the storage space (S) may require the presence of more than one access licence (L). Data objects (O) in the storage space (S) are protected by symmetrical cryptography, and access to the data objects (O) in the storage space (S) is protected by asymmetrical cryptography. Access to the data takes place only at the point of use of the data (PUD) through the fetching of the data objects (O) from the storage space (S) in encrypted form and the consequent decryption of the data object (O).

Title: Altitude protection device
Inventor: EGLI WENDELIN
IPC: B64D1/00
Filed: 2002-07-15
Abstract: The altitude protection device according to the invention for an acceleration protection suit (1) operating according to the hydrostatic principle and having a plurality of liquid-filled veins (4) consists of a bladder (3) inserted in a pocket (2) and consisting of an elastic plastic. A knitted spacer fabric, preferably consisting of monofilament material, is enclosed in the pocket (2). This fabric is non-compressible under the loads to be provided and thus defines a minimum volume in the interior of the bladder (3). The bladder (3) is closed off or opened relative to the surrounding air in the aircraft cabin by means of a valve (5). The valve (5) is set up in such a way that it is opened if(see formula I) and closes if (see formula II) where (see formula III) represents the rate of change in the cabin pressure (see formula IV) and (see formula IV) represents a presettable maximum value of the rate of change. If the valve (5) closes and the cabin pressure falls further, the air located in the bladder (3) inflates the bladder (3) and the pocket (2), thus leading to an increased tensile stress in the fabric of the acceleration protection suit (1). This is transmitted to the veins (4). Their internal pressure consequently also rises;  this results in an increased internal pressure in the entire acceleration protection suit (1).

Patent CA-2446344-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DECHOVICH BORIS
IPC: H04R1/22
Filed: 2003-10-23
Abstract: Although normal microphones are very cheap, their range is usually limited up to around 10KHz and is typically not free from various distortions. Other microphones that can reach 20KHz or close to it typically cost tens or hundreds of dollars and still have various limitations, and higher-end microphones, for example of the types needed for Live Music performance or for the Mass media broadcasting, such as for example Radio or TV, axe typically much more expensive and can cost even thousands of dollars. The main reason for these limitations is the fact that normal Microphones use a membrane, which is a mechanical element, and therefore they are limited by the mechanical qualities of the membrane. The present invention solves this problem by using a high quality Membrane-less Microphone capable of functioning in a very wide range of frequencies without distortions, which can be at the same time very compact and much cheaper than the state-of the-art high-end microphones. This is preferably based on detecting the distortions that the detected sound waves create on preferably high frequency ultrasound waves. In some of the embodiments this microphone can also be easily made directional or even very directional, and also its directionality can preferably be easily changed dynamically, and it can be much less affected by electromagnetic interference. Similar or other principles are described also for reproducing sounds in a speaker without the physical limitations of a normal membrane.

Title: Floating fine-bubble aeration system
Inventor: REDMON DAVID T
IPC: C02F3/20
Filed: 2002-05-16
Abstract: A floating fine-bubble aeration system for dissolving a gas in a liquid in which the system is floated. A grid of uniformly spaced fine-bubble diffusers is used to establish large area of bubble-laden liquid, having a substantially uniform density. The uniform density prevents the formation of any upwardly directed currents within the interior portion of the area. Bubble residence time is maximized, due to the absence of the currents, thus increasing the efficiency of dissolving the gas in the liquid.

Abstract: Income is generated income for a charity using a combination of one or more immediate annuities and a life insurance policy. A designated individual serving as the annuitant and insured is selected from participating members of the charity based on the age and insurability of available participating members, so that the annuity payments will be greater than the insurance premiums and any interest on the funds source. A life insurance policy having a face value equal to the amount of the investment funds is purchased. A first immediate annuity is purchased with a portion of the available investment funds, with the payments from the first annuity being sufficient to pay the premiums on the life insurance policy. Life insurance proceeds are used to reimburse the funds source upon the death of the participating member. If investment funds are borrowed, other annuity payments may be used to pay loan interest.
