  • Publication number: 20120109794
    Abstract: To address this and/or other needs, the present inventors have devised a system, method and apparatus for planning and managing engagements associated with fee arrangements. In one exemplary apparatus, a server, particularly a processor within the server, enables the management of a law firm matter project. The exemplary apparatus includes the processor configured to populate a law firm matter project with either a piece of financial information and/or a piece of a matter project template associated with an existing law firm matter project. Moreover, the exemplary apparatus enables a time entry mechanism within an exemplary system. Even moreover, the exemplary apparatus calculates a budget associated with a piece of financial information.

  • Publication number: 20050049888
    Abstract: A memento is created at a concession on location at a ballgame, concert or other event. In general, the memento is created by receiving an event-related item from an attendee, encapsulating it, and returning the encapsulated item to the attendee. Almost any item can serve as an event-related item, including entrance ticket or ticket stub, or program, or even a cocktail napkin or drink swirler. The value of the encapsulated item can be enhanced by including in the container an identifier card, label, pin, logo, special graphics, or other indicia that is available only (or mostly) at the event due to contractual prohibitions on availability elsewhere. Preferred methods of encapsulating include using a monolithic solid piece of plastic that completely envelopes the memento, or a using a jewel case in which the memento is contained in a compartment.

  • Patent number: 6650762
    Abstract: A new approach to data embedding within ITU G.722 and ITU G.711 based upon the method of types and universal classification is disclosed. A secondary data sequence is embedded in the original (host) data stream using the method of types. The embedded data is extracted using a type-based universal receiver, with or without the use of a key. The choice of type and rate for the embedded data is based upon an analysis of portions of the original ITU G.722 or ITU G.711 coded data stream. The universal receiver learns the type from the received data alone, and hence, there is no side information required as in previous data embedding techniques. The embedding process and the receiver may both be data adaptive, so the original data stream can be reconstructed at the decoder without error.
