^Notes:

(1) My Invention and initiation, from 28 August 1979, of the major Israeli space projects, the space launcher, called today "Shavit" and the observation satellite, called today "Offeq". I conducted those inventions and initiations voluntarily during the industrial year vacation of August 1979 of Israel Aircraft Industrials, Ltd. (IAI). Up to that time, the subject was unknown to me, since I was involved with subjects regarding Navigation and Control of various vehicles.

⁽²⁾My invention of the global idea, "Civilian Low Earth Orbit Network of Communications Satellites" in 1983, mentioned - by the way - in my letter to the Israeli Minister of Science, Prof. Yuval Neeman. In that letter I suggested a project regarding my novel idea "Real-Time TV Tourism Via Satellite to the Holy Land". However, the Government of Israel was not in a position to deal with such big projects, and I was allowing by the IAI to tell about those ideas to persons abroad. On November 1984 I had a meeting in the US with two senior managers of the Satellite Communications sector of RCA. In that meeting, I also explained about this idea, "Civilian Low Earth Orbit Network of Communications Satellites". This was during the meeting while I suggested to RCA of mutual cooperation to launch my smaller project "Real-Time TV Tourism Via Satellites to the Holy Land". Those two senior managers were completely astonished from my idea regarding the Civilian Low Earth Orbit for Communications. They both knew the USA Army's very expensive project GPS. However my idea paved the way for commercial use of relatively cheep project. Many years latter the "Motorola" company implemented the idea in the "Iridium" project. Nobody contacted me regarding the "Iridium" project. There was a publication that the "Iridium" project had cancelled after several years of implementations, due to inability to establish a sufficient customer base. I think, and many other too, that this project "Iridium" was launched too late. The Cellular competitors raised their head. I believe that if The "Motorola" company had contacted me, as the inventor of the idea, I could contribute a lot to make the project successful. As happens with other inventors, I have the complete idea, not just the simple communications segment that encountered strong competition from cellular technology. I was glad to read in the newspapers of Nov. 2001 that "Iridium" tries to return to function, by finding new target customers. I believe I may contribute to their project if they just ask my advice, in spite of my struggle with the IAI.

⁽³⁾Myidea "Real-Time Television Tourism Via Satellites", which I invented in 1983, was not accepted at that time. Many people asked me then "who needs such a service?" Today there are worldwide projects implementing this idea in the TV and the Internet. Unfortunately, the bitter struggle with the IAI prevented the launching of this project many years ago.

⁽⁴⁾My suggestion to the IAI in 1986, while I was for a short period out of the IAI, to cooperate with me in order to launch a new project regarding "Network of Observation Satellites from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) for Purposes of Tourism". The IAI rejected the proposal on the basis that the company was not involved with civilian satellites. This idea is not yet operating. But the technology exists and the market may request it in the near future.

⁽⁵⁾The submission of three patent applications, in my name, No. 85927, 85926, and 85925, in 30 March 1988, was approved by written documents from managers in the IAI that represented the top management of the IAI. They even assisted to me to transfer the many confidential documents, regarding two of those patent applications, to the Israeli Patent Office in Jerusalem, with their car and guards. At that time, the IAI did not believe in my inventions. They knew, but I did not, that few months later the Israeli space launcher "Shavit would launch the first Israeli satellite, "Offeq". As known, the launching was conducted successfully on September 19, 1988. If you have not seen yet "Shavit" or "Offeq", you may see them in the site of IAI.

⁽⁶⁾Submission of parallel patent applications of two of those three applications, in the USA, Europe, and Japan on March 1989. The Israeli Defense Minister, Mr. Yitzhak Rabin, approved those submissions in signed documents at that time. Clear evidences shows that Mr. Rabin gave his permission only after the top management of the IAI had agreed to it during a special management meeting shortly before the assignment. Latter IAI said that at those times they did not believe yet that my patent applications would become approved patents. As it happens many times, the inventor believes in his invention more than others do, and he investigates money and time until the invention becomes an official patent.

(7) The US patent No. 5172875 issued in my name on December 22, 1992, after several exam reports during 3 years. This US patent granted for my patent application mentioned above. It is so valuable that the IAI fight very aggressively to take it from me by unfair tricks. This US Patent No. 5172875 expire at December 22, 2008.

⁽⁸⁾Myidea regarding "New kind of Family Bank Account was submitted to a medium bank in Israel in 26 October 1999. That bank examined the idea from all the aspects for about a year with a lot of correspondence with all the branch managers over the country. Eventually that Bank decided decided not to continue with the idea since the Bank did not have enough customers.

⁽⁹⁾ ^{Due to the many disasters caused by the
river floods around the world, in the last years, I invented a new kind of a Pipe that enable automatic pumping of huge amounts
of water at short times without the support of mechanical pumps. The pipe may transfer the flooded water to safe places, even
as far as tens km away of the river.}
