Abstract: The invention presents a method and system for processing the purchase of products, goods and/or services, more particularly, to a method and system for processing the purchase by a buyer of products from one or more sellers of products in an on-line real-time e-Commerce business environment where the merchant server from which the goods are purchased lacks adequate encryption security for the purchasing of the goods by credit card. The method and system also allows for the easy up-dating registration by a merchant of the items available for purchase as maintained on the Web, DB server. The invention also discloses a method and system for avoiding the hindrance of foreign exchange rates fluctuations on the payment of on-line real-time e-Commerce trading.

Abstract: A clamping apparatus (10) for stabilizing a support material (20) includes a first clamping jaw (14) having a first aperture (28), a second clamping jaw (16), a mechanism (56) for pivoting the first clamping jaw (14) relative to said second clamping jaw (16), and a mechanism (18) for substantially reducing surface discontinuities on a support material (20) while enhancing friction between itself and the support material (20). The discontinuity reducing mechanism (18) includes a second aperture (36), and a mechanism (26) for attaching the discontinuity reducing mechanism (18) to the first clamping jaw (14) where the first aperture (28) is substantially aligned with the second aperture (36).
Abstract: A safety switch that can be used with an air handling system is disclosed. The air-cooling system includes a drain pan for collecting liquid condensed on the evaporator coils. The pan is fluidwise connected to a T- or L-shaped tubular structure, installable at any slope from horizontal to vertical, in which the switch is mounted and the switch is electrically connected to a circuit of the system, a power circuit or an alarm circuit. The switch has an annular float containing an annular magnet mounted about a tube in which is sealed a reed switch. The float ascends or descends based on the level of liquid within the tubular structure. Dependent upon a predetermined level of liquid within the tubular structure the float will move along the tube to open or close the reed switch to either disrupt operation of the air handling system or operate an alarm circuit.

Abstract: An apparatus for promoting energy flow in an organism includes a plurality of conductive elements and a dielectric material. The conductive elements are disposed on the dielectric material in a predetermined spatial relationship. The apparatus further includes an overlaying mechanism which supports the dielectric material with the conductive elements across predetermined regions of the organism. The predetermined regions include reflex points where the first conductive element of the conductive elements channelizes energy from a first reflex point in the vicinity of a first meridian in the organism. The first conductive element transmits the energy received from the first reflex point to a second conductive element of the conductive elements. The second conductive element transmits the received energy to a second reflex point in the vicinity of at least one of the first meridian and a second meridian in the organism, whereby healthy flow of energy throughout the organism energy is substantially increased.
Abstract: The object of the invention is an ignition component for internal combustion engines.
It comprises:
a secondary winding (4);
high-voltage output means (11-13) for the said secondary winding capable of supplying an ignition spark to a cylinder of an internal combustion engine;
a primary winding (2);
a casing (7) in which are arranged the said windings and the said high-voltage output means; and
holding means for holding the windings and the output means in the casing.
Abstract: A universal rod adapter for removing a rod from tissue of an organism includes a link with at least one bore and a first mating device. The adapter further includes a device for engaging a wall of an aperture of the rod. The rod adapter employs an expanding device which expands the engaging device so that the engaging device facilitates the removal of the rod from the tissue of the organism by providing a substantially non-slip gripping mechanism which attaches to the wall of the aperture of the rod.
Abstract: A device for promoting energy flow in an organism includes a metallic cross, at least one bioenergy channelizer unit having a plurality of conductive elements arranged on a dielectric material, and/or one or more mineral crystals, all mounted on a structure which is covered by a tinted covering, the device being placed adjacent to, or in proximity to, the organism. The conductive elements are disposed on the dielectric material in a predetermined spatial relationship. The device flanks across predetermined regions or structures of the organism, for example, hands, arms, feet, legs, torso, back, or the entire body, so as to overlay singular or multiple energy pathways called meridians, each relating to specific organs, glands or systems of the organism. The first conductive element and/or the metallic cross transmits the energy along from the first reflex point toward a second conductive element of the conductive elements.
