This is a defensive publication which sole purpose is describing a system in such a way that it makes it more difficult for other people filing patents for similar concepts. That is, the ideas presented are considered to be "prior art".
However, there are no guarantees that the concepts elaborated on here actually are novel, useful, or even not already covered by patents!
