Scientific Research : BOINC
Client-Server
Distributed
Computing Projects
(volunteer
computing)
- Deep Space Network @ Home
(Recovers Voyager Program mission & New Horizons mission
telemetry) -- an important "add on" the the currently existing
Deep Space telemetry reception systems.
- Error Correction Codes @ Home
(Monte Carlo Error Correction kernel & toolkit / research
suite).
- Hyperinflation
Predictor @ Home (to predict hyperinflation risk in an
economy).
- A Climate Prediction, Fluid Dynamics and Cryptography coprocessor for
distributed computing.
- A Climate Prediction "Resolution Independent Trickle
Data Interface for Distributed Computing" ...
- A distributed computing cryptography research project is
needed to find Intel
& AMD rogue microcode in the x86
(and x86-64) architectures that is being used to create
instructions that allow for "Privilege Level Escalation" essentially
eliminating the x86 state machine's ability to handle
secrets. The project should also look for the new
instructions (or modified existing instructions) within the
code fragments of existing operating system code on Microsoft
Windows & Apple Computer systems that have an x86
microcode patching framework.

Audio Engineering & Broadcasting
- DVB-T2W : A 10 MHz to 24 MHz
per channel DVB-T transmission system for Australia, Canada
and NZ.
- A proposal for a modern
Kurier System to allow for millisecond pulsed relay of
Morse Code over HF.
- Fractal antennas are needed for reliable ASTC
8VSB DTV reception.
- There is an art to audio compression: recommended
bit rates for MPEG, MP3, Ogg & AAC encoding.
- A global
encoding standard is needed for International
Broadcasters to relay [real time] information (and text only
websites) using radioteletype (RTTY). The wired Internet does
not always work! (Work in progress!)
|
|
|
|
|
Barcodes
- Barcodes need to be decoded (and encoded) by an open
source system that implements processing pipeline that
has some similarities to the BOINC client system. This barcode
system service must be free of any and all intellectual
property. Most ad-hoc barcode encoders & decoders are
closed source.
- A <barcode> tag
proposal for HTML / XML / SVG or MathML.

Cryptography & Information Theory (Coding Theory) related
- A Low Complexity Fix for the MD5 family of cryptographic
hash functions, "Backward + Forward MD5".
- A Constantly Variable "Entropy
Mechanism" for Verifying BitTorrent Clients.
- Using
BitTorrent objects as rotors for secure file or object
transfer over the Internet.
- A Generalized Framework for Internet
Filter Evasion (still a set of ideas in
formation).
- In Error Correction OR Cryptography : Concatenated
Coding is more secure and reliable ...
as Information Theory and Coding Theory fundamentally
function the same way with respect to concatenation.
- Onward reading, Winnowing
and Chaffing are underused in cryptography.
- Maritime AIS : Ready
for continuous use by security intelligence networks
everywhere... [not related to the Maritime section here]
- For any language : How
many bits of "stateful complexity" does a Verb or Noun have?
(Work in progress!)

IT Systems
- The spreadsheet wiki
: It often takes dozens [or hundreds] of people working
together on a spreadsheet to keep its accurate and
authoritative. Google
Docs (Wiki)
has a limited non-wiki variant of the idea called : Google
Sheets. The Google version of the technology is still a
work
in process.
- Financial Transaction Processing Systems have unknown
hyperinflation failure risks relating to IEEE 32 bit
(and 64 bit) number overflow (per comp.risks [add link to
website]).
- A global standard for 24
bit, 40 bit and 72 bit floating point numbers is
needed.
Networking
- FTP-NG "FTP Next Generation" :
Adds resilient download and upload functionality to FTP based
on protocol concepts and data structures borrowed from
BitTorrent. In essence, a new FTP state machine.
- A BitTorrent Private Tracker Client "Accounting
Error Message" Protocol.
- Some overdue Changes
to Make BitTorrent Clients and Protocols More Functionally
Useful.
- Proposal for improvements to the
existing NTP networks in Australia, Canada and NZ.
- A wireless internet access point social protocol system
that works. Namely, a open access point that allows one to
subscribe to a subscriber access point (to be written
someday).
Time Signals Distribution
- The Android OS
needs a few functionality improvements too, and some
have been implemented. [Time Transfer issues still are a
problem!]
- Distributed Time
Service with Advanced Features (needs to be Wikified to
optimize design).

Social &
Technical Commentary (proposals, cartoons,
graphs)
- A looming crisis for
the Creative Class in New Zealand (based on the ideas of
Richard Florida, badly in need of a 2017 revision)
- A Monaco or Gibraltar type solution for
a Quebec Sovereign State -- but this has mostly been
rendered moot due to the coming Civilization Reset events
coming around Late 2021 or Early 2022.

Social
& Technical Commentary : Global Finance
Crisis related
- The
0th Law of Microeconomics and Macroeconomics, any
Economist or economic theory that does not heed this law just
cannot be trusted.
- The
North American & European Union region will only recover
from the 2008-2009 mortgage market induced depression around
2024 at the earliest -- via civilization reset circumstances.
- The ongoing Global Economic Depression that has been
created as a result of the Global Finance Crisis needs a name,
so here are some suggested
names.
- The Gilt Dragon Omen
(aka The "Vergulde Draeck" Omen) that will announce the
decline and collapse of the US Dollar.
