Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for delivering documents associated with a commercial transaction using a computer in communication with a computer network include receiving documents associated with a designated commercial transaction from a first party via the computer network, storing the documents for subsequent access via the computer network in a computer readable storage device, notifying a second party that the documents are available via the computer network, and logging a date that the documents are available to the second party in a log file stored on the computer readable storage device. The system and method may also include receiving a request from a second party via the computer network to review documents for the designated commercial transaction, allowing access to the documents by the second party via the computer network; and logging a date that the documents are accessed via the computer network.

Abstract: A method of cleaning in a pipe which has fouling material on the interior so that the bond with the fouling material is broken by first filling the pipe with liquid, applying pressure pulsations to the liquid to the extent that a standing wave is formed in the pipe and the incompressible liquid therein, and cavitation is initiated within the standing wave in the pipe so that the pipe is cleaned on the formation of induced shock waves occurring upon collapse of microscopic bubbles resulting from cavitation and subsequent collapse.

Abstract: A ball holder connector construction is particularly adapted for snap connecting a base and a retaining ring of a ball holder. A base connector tongue is formed integral with the base. An aperture is formed in the base connector tongue. A retaining ring connector tongue is formed integral with the retaining ring. The retaining ring connector tongue has a hook formed integral therewith, which is adapted to pass through the aperture of the base connector tongue. The hook is adapted to engage lockingly the base connector tongue. The base connector tongue and the retaining ring connector tongue together comprise the ball holder connector.
