Filed:

Mar 31, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/401611

Inventors:

Theresa Green - Rowayton CT, US
Robert Bugg - Suffern NY, US
Michael Quinn - Pound Ridge NY, US

International Classification:

G06F017/60

US Classification:

705/040000

Abstract:

An improved method and system for tracking and reconciling invoices and other payment devices, purchase orders and corresponding letters of credit is disclosed. In the system and method, information about the purchase orders and corresponding letters of credit received from the customer are compared against the performance of the manufacturer. Differences are identified automatically. Differences on the purchase order/SKU level are identified automatically and are used by the customer to determine the destiny of the order, control inventory, decide subsequent shipping, warehousing and pricing issues. The differences are communicated to the customer and may be used by the financial institution in deciding to authorize payment. Discrepancies are automatically identified and codified and are used by the customer and/or financial institution in deciding payment. Reconciliation information is also provided to the customer to aid in reconciling the customer's books in view of the plurality of purchase orders.

Appl. No.:

08/626600

Inventors:

MICHAEL F. QUINN - POUND RIDGE NY, US
JAMES MCGINLAY - STATEN ISLAND NY, US
ROMAN KADRON - GREENWICH CT, US

International Classification:

G06F017/60

US Classification:

705037000

Abstract:

An information management system for storing related documents, messages, and customer inquires as electronic images for retrieval in a controlled and secure manner. The system is centrally maintained, and provides the capability to manage and integrate different forms of information among multiple remote offices. Information is treated as transaction-related items and are linked together by transaction folders. Inbound paper-based documents are scanned, indexed and reviewed by preprocessing. Document processing from folders is conducted by assigning the item to a Trade Service Representative (TSR) based on routing rules defined by the System Administrator. The TSR has a queue containing documents and inquiries for processing, providing the transaction service representative with a single point of reference to data related to a Letter of Credit, a reimbursement, a collection, and a guarantee. Document work flow can be monitored for backlog and assigned work levels. Transaction folders contain the components related to particular trade services transactions. The folders include all physical input and output media associated with transactions, such as electronic messages, mail items, inquiry history records, system user entered messages, and inbound facsimile messages. The system maintains an internal unique key identifier, to identify each folder and document with the image transaction ID number unique to each item when available from the image management system.

International Classification:

A61M 5/315
A61M 5/31

Abstract:

A stopper includes a main body portion defining an open rearward end configured to receive the plunger rod, an engagement portion provided along an inner circumference of the main body portion configured to engage at least a top portion of the plunger rod, a closed front end forming a flexible roof, and a first perimetrical skirt extending around an outer circumference of the main body portion toward the closed front end of the main body portion. When fluid pressure is increased inside the syringe barrel during an injection, the flexible roof expands in a radial direction toward an inner wall of the syringe barrel, the first perimetrical skirt is forced against the inner wall of the syringe barrel, and an engagement between the plunger rod and the engagement portion forces the main body portion to expand in the radial direction toward the inner wall of the syringe barrel.
