A system converts energy of waves into rotational energy, friction, heat, hydrodynamic lift, and drag to extract energy from waves to reduce their amplitudes and increase their periods to reduce destructive effects on shorelines. The neural response is evoked by a first stimulus, after which a compensatory stimulus is applied in order to counteract a stimulus artefact caused by the first stimulus. Upon executing a transaction policy override instruction, the default conflict detection policy is overridden for one or more subsequent memory accessing instructions. When an end user accesses the reporting program, the reporting program provides a graphical map image to the end user on the end user’s computing platform. The invention further provides a computer readable medium comprising a program element that direct a computer to implement the encoding process. The at least one latching element is configured to be pivotable or bendable, and the two contact elements each have a recess for establishing a form-fit connection to one of the detents of the latching element.
