Abstract: The System For On-Board Metering Of Recharging Power Consumption In Vehicles Equipped With Electrically Powered Propulsion Systems uses a unique identification of the associated Self-Identifying Outlet and the power consumption as metered on the Self-Reporting Vehicle to enable the Self-Reporting Vehicle to report the Self-Reporting Vehicle's power consumption to the utility company to enable the utility company to bill the vehicle owner and credit the account of the Self-Identifying Outlet for the power consumed by the recharging of the vehicular battery banks.

Abstract: The Network for Authentication, Authorization, And Accounting Of Recharging Processes For Vehicles Equipped With Electrically Powered Propulsion Systems uses a unique identification of the associated Self-Identifying Outlet and the power consumption as metered on the Self-Reporting Vehicle to enable the Self-Reporting Vehicle to report the Self-Reporting Vehicle's power consumption to the utility company to enable the utility company to bill the vehicle owner and credit the account of the Self-Identifying Outlet for the power consumed by the recharging of the vehicular battery banks.

Abstract: The Self-Identifying Power Source For Use In Recharging Vehicles Equipped With Electrically Powered Propulsion Systems provides a unique identification of an outlet (or electric meter) to a vehicle which is connected to the outlet (or electric meter) to enable the vehicle to report the vehicle's energy consumption to the utility company to enable the utility company to bill the vehicle owner and credit the outlet owner for the power consumed by the recharging of the vehicular battery banks.

Abstract: The present multi-media object management system controls the retrieval of Object Data that comprises an object representation (such as a product) and the integration of this Object Data into a corresponding selected one of the predetermined Multi-Media Object Locations which are components of the Multi-Media Program. This enables advertisers to precisely control product placement on a customized basis thereby to dynamically modify the content of the Multi-Media Program as it is delivered to the individual recipient. There are a number of methods by which the Multi-Media Object Locations can be brokered, with International, National, Regional, Local, and Personal markets being defined, as well as exclusive rights and conditional rights, all available to the purchaser by means of auction, predefined contracts, or other financial arrangements.

Abstract: The multi-media object management system functions to manage the delivery of product placements in a Multi-Media Program. The multi-media object management system controls the retrieval of Object Data that comprises a product representation and the integration of this Object Data into a corresponding selected one of the predetermined Multi-Media Object Locations which are components of the Multi-Media Program. This enables advertisers to precisely control product placement on a customized basis thereby to dynamically modify the content of the Multi-Media Program on a centralized basis, a regional basis, or as it is delivered to the individual recipient.

Abstract: The multi-media object management system functions to manage the delivery of product placements in a Multi-Media Program. The multi-media object management system controls the creation of predetermined Multi-Media Object Locations and associated Object Management Data which are components of the Multi-Media Program. This enables advertisers to precisely control product placement on a customized basis to thereby dynamically modify the content of the Multi-Media Program on a centralized basis, a regional basis, or as it is delivered to the individual recipient. The multi-media object management system produces object-ready content for distribution on removable media or via a network.
