Abstract: A system facilitates the procurement of one or more document services for a document directly from a document preparation software application used to create the document. The system activates a graphical user interface within the document preparation software application, contacts a server to identify available document services, and configures the graphical user interface based on the available document services. The system detects selection of one of the available document services and provides the document from the document preparation software application to one or more service providers for performance of the selected document service.

Abstract: An infusion beverage package includes a body portion having overlying layers of porous material that are joined to form at least one compartment for carrying infusion beverage product in addition to a weight that causes the body portion to sink in water. The compartment(s) may also carry an agent (e.g., sweetener) that imparts flavor characteristics into a solution during steeping of the infusion beverage product. The weight is preferably realized by a non-toxic, insoluble odorless, flavorless microwaveable material (e.g., ceramic material, porcelain material, and naturally-occurring rock material). Alternatively, the weight may be realized by a dissolvable agent such as a sweetener. A multi-compartment single bag design and dual-bag designs are illustrated.

Abstract: A system protects private information provided in an exchange between a client and a server. The system receives the private information from the client and determines whether it is of a type for which a guarantee may be issued. The guarantee provides an indemnity for the benefit of the client for misuse of the private information. The system then issues a guarantee for the private information, if it is determined to be of the type for which a guarantee may be issued, and provides the private information to the server with a guarantee.

Abstract: A system assures the accuracy of information and the performance of services provided by an entity. The system receives a request from the entity to bond the information and services provided by the entity and evaluates the accuracy of the information and the performance of the services. The system bonds the information when the information is determined to be accurate and the services when performance of the services is assured.

Abstract: A system protects private information provided in an exchange between a client and a server. The system receives the private information from the client and determines whether it is of a type to which a bond may be assigned. The bond provides an indemnity to the client for misuse of the private information. The system then assigns a bond to the private information, if it is determined to be of the type to which a bond may be assigned, and provides the private information to the server under bond.
