Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for enhancing interaction between a customer using a client computer and a customer service representative of a company using a workstation. A Web session is commenced on a Web site for the client computer of the customer, wherein the Web session includes displaying a first Web page to the customer. A telephonic interaction is commenced between the customer and the customer service representative and a split screen is displayed on the workstation. The split screen including the first Web page and a second Web page, wherein the second Web page is only viewable by the customer service representative. An application is caused to be moved from the second Web page to the first Web page for review and interaction by the customer via the client computer.

Abstract: A mousetrap having a housing with a top, a bottom, and a peripheral wall to form an enclosure in which to trap a mouse. An entry port through the peripheral wall admits the mouse to one arm of the enclosure. A closure hinged near the top of the entry port can swing down to close it. The entry port is at one side of an interior partition that divides the enclosure into two arms and a bend. A hinged trigger is disposed in the other arm. A latch system includes a deflectable post, a finger connected to the trigger. The finger rests on a latching surface on the post to hold the closure open. The weight of a mouse on the trigger causes the cam to deflect the post and release the finger and closure to close the entry port, trapping the mouse inside. When the enclosure is air tight, the mouse endures a brief period of heat prostration, followed by unconsciousness, and a humane death from asphyxiation.

Abstract: A rodent trap comprised of an enclosure with a doorway, and a base plate. The enclosure is hinged to tilt bodily downwardly to close the doorway when tripped. Latching means is adapted to hold the enclosure in an open, ready, position. The enclosure is divided into two chambers, with the doorway in one and a tripping mechanism in the other. The tripping mechanism is mounted in said other chamber and linked to the latch means so that the weight of a rodent on it will release the latch means and enable the enclosure to tilt downwardly to close the doorway.

Abstract: A rodent trap comprised of an enclosure having a hinged lid for sealing the enclosure and an automatic closing mechanism for automatically closing the lid when a rodent enters the trap. The closing mechanism is comprised of a platform in the enclosure and a latch means for latching the platform in a fixed position. The latch is connected to the lid so that weight applied to the platform trips the latch and closes the lid sealing the container and trapping the rodent inside the enclosure.

Abstract: A low-cost, environmentally safe rodent trap is disclosed composed generally of a pair of coaxial telescoping cylinders including an internally actuated trigger mechanism which supports one of the cylinders at an elevated height within the other cylinder. Upon reaching the bottom of the elevated cylinder, the weight of the rodent actuates the trigger mechanism, causing the elevated cylinder to fall whereby a cap attached to the upper end of the elevated cylinder sealingly engages the other cylinder to suffocate the rodent. The cylinders are housed within a box-like platform which provides easy ingress of the rodent to the trap, ensures stability during operation, prevents viewing of the rodent carcass, and provides for marketing of the trap without additional packaging material.
