H04M003/42

US Classification:

37914201, 379 8821, 37921201, 37921401

Abstract:

A messaging device is disclosed. The device is connected to a telephone line and communicates with other devices identical to itself via a communications link established over existing phone lines, power lines or via wireless communications mechanisms. The messaging device records caller ID data upon detection of an incoming telephone call and prompts the user to enter additional data regarding the caller in assembling a message data packet including predefined messages. The message data packet is then transmitted to an identical messaging device wherein the caller ID data, caller name, caller's company, and predefined messages are presented to the intended recipient of the message contained in the message data packet. Additional features include handwritten or typed detailed messages contained in said message data packet and security for preventing unauthorized viewing of message data. The messaging device is optionally integrated into the design of a telephone.

US Classification:

84304

Abstract:

A stringed instrument tuning device is disclosed that is enhanced over the prior art by an included mechanism that enables the tuning knob to be positioned freely in any rotational position after a string has been tensioned or tuned. A worm gear drive tuning assembly typical of prior art tuning devices is employed. In one approach, the tuning device includes a common ratchet mechanism that enables free rotation of the tuning knob with respect to the tuning mechanism. In other embodiments disclosed, a spline shaft engagement mechanism is employed with a shuttle that releasably engages the tuning knob to the worm gear drive tuning assembly.

Appl. No.:

11/189315

Inventors:

Timothy Harris - Indianapolis IN, US

International Classification:

G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705026000

Abstract:

A method and system for providing chemical compound product availability and contaminant and/or desired component information (certificate of analysis data) to end users of such products is disclosed. Chemical suppliers using computers (clients) access a central server computer, via the Internet or direct connection, to upload chemical compound lot analysis and quantity data to the server. The server stores the chemical compound lot data from suppliers in its database. Buyers or purchasers of such chemical compound products access the server using a computer and enter search criteria, specifying chemical names or identifiers, manufacturer name, chemical form (liquid, solid, granular, powder etc.), contaminants and maximum acceptable levels thereof. The server responds to the search request with a list of chemical compound lots previously stored in its database that satisfy the search criteria entered by the buyer. Buyers may reserve a portion or all of a particular chemical compound lot for purchase subject to negotiation of terms. Suppliers are notified electronically of the lot reservation event. A tracking history report for a particular chemical compound lot is also available from the server that provides useful data to track the use and repackaging history of a particular chemical compound lot.

A63F 9/24

US Classification:

463 8

Abstract:

Certain embodiments provide a method for determining a value for a set of characters in an online game including selecting a set of characters, determining a point value for at least one character in the set of characters, and determining a total point value for the set of characters. The set of characters is associated with a player and is adapted to include at least one character. Each character in the set of characters includes at least one attribute adjustable by the player. The point value is determined based at least in part on at least one attribute of the at least one character. The point value represents an effective strength of the character. The total point value is determined based at least in part on the determined point value. The total point value represents an effective strength of the characters in the set of characters.

US Classification:

463 9

Abstract:

Certain embodiments provide a method for selecting an allocation of character attributes in a gaming system including selecting a set of characters, aggregating outcome data, aggregating allocation data, determining a correlation between outcome data and allocation data, and selecting an allocation based at least in part on the determined correlation. The set of characters includes at least one character and each character includes a set of attributes. Each attribute has an associated attribute value adapted to be adjusted. Each character is associated with an outcome record based at least in part on a competition. Outcome data is based at least in part on outcome records. Allocation data is based at least in part on each set of attributes and attribute values associated with each attribute in each set of attributes. The correlation is based at least in part on which attributes and attribute values correspond to which outcomes.
