Publication number: 20020099667Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for facilitating transactions over the Internet using pre-paid cards, such as pre-paid telephone cards. A third-party phone-card payment facilitator represents that it will coordinate payment to vendor web sites for on-line customer purchases with the value of pre-paid phone cards. The vendor's web site operator posts a branded logo from the third party phone-card payment facilitation web site, which is linked to the database of phone card value and verification process operated by the phone card manufacturer or sponsor. The link allows the customer to verify from the third-party phone-card payment facilitation web site that the vendor's web site is in cooperation with certain phone card manufacturers and can be utilized to make a purchase against the current value of the customer's pre-paid phone card. A customer who owns an anonymous pre-paid phone card can purchase goods, services or information from a web site using existing phone card telephony infrastructure.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2001Publication date: July 25, 2002Inventors: Peter H.

Patent number: 5258515Abstract: The invention relates to aqueous solutions of sodium salts of trimercapto-s-triazine whose molar saturation concentration at 0.degree. C. to 40.degree. C. is above the saturation concentration of trimercapto-s-triazine trisodium salt (TMT-Na.sub.3). More than two but less than three hydrogen atoms of the trimercapto-s-triazine are replaced by sodium ions. The solutions preferably contain trimercapto-s-triazine disodium salt (TMT-Na.sub.2) in addition to a little TMT-Na.sub.3. Surprisingly, the water solubility of TMT-Na.sub.2 is greater than that of TMT-Na.sub.3. The solutions represent a suitable supply form for the active substance trimercapto-s-triazine (TMT-H.sub.3) used in the separation of heavy metals The preparation takes place by means of reacting TMT-Na.sub.3 with TMT-H.sub.3 in a molar ratio of 1:greater than 0-less than 0.5, especially 1:0.1 to 1:<0.5 in aqueous solution.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 1992Date of Patent: November 2, 1993Assignee: Degussa AktiengesellschaftInventors: Klaus Hentschel, Marc Samson, Marcel Vingerhoets, Karl-Ludwig Weber
