What are the steps I would need to take before contacting a patent lawyer and were can I get the money?

If you want a patent attorney, check your local Yellowpages (virtual or physical) under attorney and specialities. If possible, find one that does a free consultant and they will give you an approximate fee. There are numerous online resources to get more background information, so can be armed with the facts, andbe able to ask substantive questions, and get familiar with the terms. In the world of the internet, there are lot of unreliable sources, so start at the primary source: the government. I have included their website for easy referral. U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: http://www.uspto.gov/ Be warned Patent & Copyright law can be complicated that is why attorneys specializing these fields have to take aditional bar on those subjects alone. So educate yourself and then make the decision to contact a competent attorney with reasonable rates (fees and success rate), an online source, or do it yourself.

What is the device between a security device and a risk-bearing device?

A lock in the normal sense of the word would certainly be a security device, as would automatic alarms for banks, fires, etc. I have never heard the term Risk-Bearing device but this might be applied to safety devices to shut off fuel flow to main engines on aircraft or ships, somewhat attenuating fire risks, but not totally preventing the hazard. I have never heard this term used ( risk-bearing) Safety devices, there are many. Dead Man clutch ( let go and it cuts off power and on goes the emergency brake) is used on much railroad equipment. safety catches on guns, and yes, some cameras to prevent inadvertent firing.

Can a NIC be designed to use more than one network architectures?

In the way of auto-sensing the speed of the network, yes. For example, one NIC could (and is) be made to be able to detect the speed of the ethernet network to which it is connected. Auto-sensing NICs can/will automatically talk at the speed of the network, 10 Mb, 100Mb, or 1000 Mb. If you are referring to Ethernet vs. Tokenring vs. WiFi vs. BNC, that is another story. Theoretically, such a NIC could possibly be designed. However, the media (network cables or the lack thereof) differ too greatly to make the design of such a NIC practical.

Can data be recovered from a zero-filled hard disk?

YES data can be recovered from a zerofilled hard drive but it is extremely difficult and costly process. To recover data from it one has to use a special equipment that has the ability to detect What new zeros have been put on the magnetic plates of hard drive. The process involoves detecting and separtating older magnetic field from the newer one. Let me explain it by an example: Consider a piece of data: 10110101 When you will zero fill the data will become 00000000 As the drive is formated all ones are converted to zeros. In this process new zeros replace the older ones but the older zeros remain "in place". This causes magnetic fields of slightly diffrent intensities on the surface of the disk i.e., the magnetic field of older zeros is of lesser intensity then that of the newer zeros. This change can be read by special equipment under special conditions . This is how FBI recovers data from a ZERO-FILLED hard drive. Hoping this will answer your question. Awais Rauf.
