Abstract: A system and methods for managing Internet e-mail address changes, particularly useful for situations where subscribers change Internet service providers. A computer system manages a database of stored records correlating a first e-mail address of an intended recipient, e.g. an old e-mail address, to a second e-mail address, e.g. a new e-mail address of the intended recipient. A program module in the computer system is responsive to an Internet query for accessing the database to determine whether a second e-mail address of the intended recipient is stored in association with a first e-mail address. Another program module is operative for providing the second e-mail address as a response to the query. The query response is communicated to the sender or to the sender's ISP so that an undeliverable message can be resent to the new e-mail address. Also provided are security and authentication measures for ensuring that address change requests are valid and authentic.
Abstract: A delivery system comprises a frame, and a plurality of hoppers attachable to the frame in a vertically spaced apart arrangement. The hoppers are each configured to hold a plurality of sheet-like materials. At least one upper belt is movably coupled to the frame, with the belt being configured to move the sheet-like materials downward from the hoppers. At least one contact roller is disposed below each hopper, and at least one suction apparatus that is associated with each hopper. A moving system is configured to move the suction apparatus toward and away from the hopper to grasp and remove one of the sheet-like materials from the hopper, and to move the removed sheet-like material downward until grabbed by the contact roller.
