  • Publication number: 20150039133
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program for enabling signings/dedications on a remote basis is provided. A first computer at a first location is associated with an individual from whom a signature or dedication is required. A second computer at a location where the signing or dedication is required is linked to the first computer so as to provide a two-way audiovisual communication system. The second computer is operate e to receive input from one or more individuals regarding their request for a signature and/or dedication, and to communicate the request to the first computer. The first computer is operable to permit the individual associated with the first computer to review the request, and based on such request provide a signature and/or personalized dedication as an input to an input device connected to the first computer. The first computer transmits the signature and/or personalized dedication from the first computer to the second computer.

  • Patent number: 8806826
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of mortarless, stone-like veneer systems for walls. More specifically, the present invention relates to facade systems comprising a plurality of panels with surfaces for engaging other panels in the system and for resisting pullout of a panel once installed. Further provided are facade systems comprising a plurality of panels which provide stacked-stone corners for walls, columns, and posts when installed. Preferred are systems comprising modular facade panels having (i) a front face for forming part of a first facade, wherein the face is formed as a plurality of stacked stones and has a concave rectilinear polygonal outline configured for mating with adjacent panels when installed in a facade system; (ii) a back side with a suspension rail in communication therewith; and (iii) left and right sides for forming part of another facade in an intersecting plane.

  • Publication number: 20120206758
    Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus, system and computer program for generating documents that may be validated and authenticated. A hand-writing system may be utilized to produce a replica of handwriting. Such handwriting system may be capable of generating a replica of handwriting that is biometrically accurate in accordance with a specific person's handwriting. The handwriting system may facilitate the integration of a replica of handwriting with one or more documents. The handwriting system may be linked to a printing output device whereby a replica of handwriting may be applied to a document printed by the printer. The handwriting system may incorporate a handwriting tool that may be integrated with the printer so that a replica of handwriting may be facilitated by the handwriting tool during the course of printing a document. Security may be incorporated in the integration of the printer and handwriting system whereby the integration of the handwriting and the document may be unalterable.
