Abstract: According to some embodiments, a deposit system for allocating deposited funds among a plurality of account categories held for an account beneficiary comprises a management module, a contributor module, and an allocation module. The management module is operable to associate each account category of the plurality of account categories with a particular purpose, each purpose restricting use of funds in its associated account category. The contributor module is operable to receive, from a contributor, a deposit of funds, the deposit comprising a first set of funds associated by the contributor with a first purpose and a second set of funds associated by the contributor with a second purpose. The allocation module operable to deposit the first set of funds into the account category associated with the first purpose and deposit the second set of funds into the account category associated with the second purpose.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a deposit system for allocating deposited funds among a plurality of account categories held for an account beneficiary comprises a management module, a contributor module, and an achievement manager. The management module is operable to associate each account category of the plurality of account categories associated with a particular purpose, each purpose restricting use of funds in its associated account category. The contributor module is operable to receive a confirmation to deposit funds in at least one of the account categories upon accomplishment of an achievement by the account beneficiary. The achievement manager is operable to receive notification of the accomplishment of the achievement and instruct the contributor module to transfer the confirmed funds to the at least one of the account categories.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, an account management system comprises a processor coupled to a memory. The memory is operable to store account information associated with an account. The processor is operable to communicate to a potential contributor a link to a webpage, wherein the webpage comprises account information identifying the account and request information identifying an amount of a funds request, the beneficiary of the account, and a purpose for the funds request. The processor is operable to receive a response to the funds request indicating an outcome of the funds request and manage the account based on the outcome of the funds request.

Abstract: Financial activities may be performed in a social networking environment. To perform the financial activities, a first message is received to create a first financial goal associated with a user. The first message comprises the first financial goal and a reward for achieving the first financial goal. The first financial goal is available for display in a social networking environment associated with the user. A processor creates the first financial goal associated with the user and stores the first financial goal. The status of the first financial goal is monitored. Information associated with the first financial goal is received from a data source, and the processor updates the status of the first financial goal according to the received information.

Abstract: Brazing or soldering of pieces of low wettable materials (1, 3), such as single crystal silicon, is accomplished by sandwiching the brazing material (5) between the pieces and sealing the edges of the brazing material with a tape (11) wrapped about the periphery of the brazing material, mechanically placing that tape in compression and maintaining that compression while heating (21) the sandwiched assembly to the brazing temperature of the brazing material. The tape possesses the characteristic of being non-wettable by the brazing material in the molten state and, hence, is impermeable to that melt. The tape may comprise a fibrous porous ceramic material.

Abstract: This invention relates to reciprocating saws, and to abrasive sanding attachments and blades for such saws, to facilitate the oscillating, the reciprocating sanding, and the shaping of straight, curved, concave or convex surfaces, with abrasive cutting surfaces. The invention described herein fits and mounts in blade holders currently in use on scroll saws, and is designed to take advantage of pin-end and plain pinless-end saw blade mounting methods as applied to holding an abrasive member. This invention increases the versatility and use of the scroll saw and related C-shaped saws, as tools for use in intricate, delicate, and controlled woodworking, metalworking, and finishing. Methods for making abrasive member holders 40, 68, 74, 84, 104, 112, 124, 142, and 160 are disclosed. The holders can be mounted on pin-end blade or pin-less blade scroll saws using abrasive member head, extenders and pivot heads.
