Abstract: System and method are provided wherein a physician uses a handheld terminal to tap and select a prescription. At the time of writing the prescription, the terminal has information regarding the patient's drug insurance benefits (formulary compliance), as well as other patient medical history such as medications that the patient may currently be taking (drug utilization review) and any allergies. This patient information may be provided to the terminal from a database through the Web, a modem or an access point. Using this information the physician is able to provide the optimal patient prescription. The terminal has capabilities for voice recognition, biometric identification and GPS locator so that the prescribing physician's identity and location can be positively identified.

Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided for printing and imprinting duplicates of a credit card receipt using a roll of single-ply paper. The paper may be coated on a first side with a heat-sensitive image producing agent and is coated on a second side with a carbon-type image producing agent. To include transaction information printed on the credit card receipt as well as information written on the receipt by the customer (such as a signature and an indication of the amount of any gratuity), the transaction information is substantially duplicated in two separate fields each on a separate portion of the credit card receipt. At least part of the two separate portions are then aligned and presented to the customer for completion. The two separate portions can be aligned by separating the two separate portions from one another and stacking the two separate portions one upon the other.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a nasal dilator which comprises a means for dilating the nostrils and a thermal element, which can be worn on the nose of a human for an extended period of time, as well as a method of treatment for relief of nasal congestion/blockage, sinus discomfort and pain, and other cold and/or allergy symptoms associated therewith, by applying said nasal dilator to the nose of a human in need of such treatment.

Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided for imprinting duplicate copies of a credit card receipt using a single-ply roll of paper. The paper can be either coated on a first side with a carbonless coating that contains rupturable microcapsules, each filled with reactive, colorless dyes, and coated on a second side with a resin adapted to react with the colorless dyes, or coated on a single side with self-contained microencapsulated colorless dyes and reactive resins. To include transaction information printed on the credit card receipt as well as information written on the receipt by the customer (such as a signature and an indication of the amount of any gratuity), the transaction information is substantially duplicated in two separate fields each on a separate portion of the credit card receipt. At least part of the two separate portions are then aligned and presented to the customer for completion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to oral compositions containing specially prepared herbal materials; in another aspect the compositions contain a water insoluble noncationic antibacterial agent.

Abstract: A lift truck 100 has an inertial damper 150 coupled between the base frame 116 and a A-frame holding a suspended wheel. The damper has a slider plate 170 frictionally engaged by friction pads 161, 169 on outer plate 160 and friction pads 181, 189 on the other outer plate 180. The outer plates 160, 180 are spring biased against slider plate 170 by belville washers 162, 182 or a coil spring 210.

Abstract: The invention encompasses multiple-ply carbonless paper rolls having the plies adhesively joined along at least one edge of the roll. Advantageously, the individual plies remain adhered together when the plies are unwound and separated from the main roll but are still relatively easy to separate from each other.

Abstract: This invention relates to a carbonless multiple ply credit card form. The top ply of the form is a substantially translucent ply which is stacked on top of at least a second ply. When the two plies are contacted under sufficient pressure, a chemically produced positive visible image results on both the bottom surface of the substantially translucent ply and the top surface of the second ply. The image on the bottom of the translucent ply is readable when viewed through the ply.

Abstract: An improved credit card formset having multiple transaction slips with a cover sheet for any transaction slips formed with an integral duplicating carbon surface, such as a carbon-on-back (COB) slip. The cover sheet is attached by bonding to one end of the COB slip. When the COB slip is detached from the formset the attached cover sheet is sized to overlay the duplicating carbon surface and thereby prevent undesired user contact with the carbon. Any carbonless copy paper (CCP) in the credit card formset or other pack of business forms is similarly covered by an attached cover sheet when the CCP sheet is removed from the pack to prevent undesired user contact with the resin material in the CCP sheet.

Abstract: An improved pack of credit card transaction slips and method of making same. A pigment coating is applied to the eventual lower face (back) of translucent paper forming the top transaction slip. The color of the pigment coating contrasts with the duplicating medium. When the duplicating medium is imprinted on the lower face during a credit card transaction, the visibility and legibility of the duplicating medium imprint viewed from the upper face (front) and through the top transaction slip is significantly improved.

Abstract: An improved assembled pack or formset of credit card transaction slips with duplicating carbon slips having a series of perforations in the form of perforation strips aligned with the customer's credit card account number position on the transaction slips provided for the merchant, customer and credit card issuer. Simultaneous with deleaving or removing one of the transaction slips, the duplicating carbons are respectively split into two sections along the respective perforation strip, enabling the customer's account number to be accordingly split into two sections, and substantially preventing surreptitious reconstruction of the customer's account number from the used duplicating carbons.
