Services
Bibliographic and Patent Searches
We have extensive experience doing literature searches, including patent
searches, in various technical fields. Let
us know what you need. We may already have it in-house.
If not, we can find it, and our rates are reasonable.
Technical and Engineering Consulting
We offer technical consulting in the areas of Aeronautics (including Lighter-than-Air),
Internal Combustion Engines, Control Systems, Air Cushion Vehicles, Cable-Supported Transport Systems
and others. One of our specialties is feasibility/practicability studies
for clients considering investing in a technical enterprise; we also provide
high-quality technical support to proposal writers. Contact
us concerning your problem.
Security, Privacy, Tax Avoidance*
The world is becoming increasingly unsafe. The surge in ordinary criminality
is bad enough, but now the biggest criminal in many societies is government,
which is becoming increasingly intrusive and heedless of constitutional
limitations. Ordinary people are now resorting to stratagems which were
once the exclusive province of the super rich, international criminals
and spies, just to defend themselves against private and public criminality.
We can help with the following services:
-
Vulnerability assessments
-
Physical security surveys
-
Communications security services: the technology is there to make your
communications truly secure, but the snoops - in Government and the private
sector - would rather you did not know.
-
"Estate Planning" for the living: how to arrange your personal and business
affairs to legally reduce your tax liability, while at the same time enhancing
your privacy and reducing your vulnerability to frivolous lawsuits.

Case Law Handbook for the Non-Taxpayer.
Editing, Design and Production
If you are considering publishing a book in-house, you can benefit
from our twelve man-years of experience in desktop publishing, database
publishing and graphic design. We will edit your manuscript for both form
and content, design a format affording the best possible presentation while
controlling production costs, recommend printing and binding services and
even generate camera-ready copy to send to the printer. We can even provide
help in obtaining reasonably-priced fulfillment services.
To jump-start your in-house magazine or newsletter, we can set
you up with appropriate software and training, design a basic layout and
set up the entire production process, ready for you to take over.
Finally, if you want a Web page for yourself or your company
that won't stupefy your visitors with irrelevant graphics, but will lead
them quickly to the information they seek, consider us.
