Abstract: A track set includes track sections having parallel first and second rail edges on which a ball travels. Each track section includes a first upstanding sidewall projecting from the first rail edge having a first guide rail positioned a sufficient distance radially outward of the first rail edge. Each track section further includes a second upstanding sidewall projecting from the second rail edge having a second guide rail positioned a sufficient distance radially outward of the second rail edge. A connection member includes a resilient retaining portion configured to be inserted and retained between two spaced-apart pillar supports on at least one other track section to attach thereto. The track sections accommodate a derailed ball using a guide rail positioned a sufficient distance from an adjacent rail edge, to support the derailed ball via the guide rail and one rail edge when the ball rolls off the first and second rail edges.

Abstract: A scorekeeping device is disclosed for use with a sports court that has a net in order to keep score in a match between players. The scorekeeping device comprises three elongated members, each mutually connected at top ends thereof with a pivot to define a center member and two outer members. A score indicia is fixed to both sides of the center member. The score indicia may indicate the numbers 1 through 7, representing games in a set of tennis, for example. A pair of contrasting score indicators, such as differently-colored spring-biased clips, are selectively fixable with the center member. Preferably, in an extended position the height of the device is three feet, such that the device may be used to adjust or otherwise measure the height of a tennis net, for example.

Abstract: A portion of the CMS stage of web site development is automated to convert a static markup language mockup and its referenced resources into a renderable CMS web template. One or more features in the mockup are represented by one or more static markup language elements, which are replaced by one or more CMS instructions during the conversion process. The placement of the CMS instructions within the CMS web template is based on the type of feature and/or the type of the corresponding CMS instruction. Further, one or more additional CMS instructions are added to satisfy a rendering condition, so that the CMS web template is renderable and/or functional as part of a webpage with associated content provided through a CMS.

Abstract: A web template author can author interactive web templates via a static markup language-based authoring tool. The web template author can insert static markup language snippets representing one or more configurable controls of a web template into a static markup language-based authoring tool. Each snippet includes a definition of a preview of a configurable control in a static markup language as well as one or more disabled CMS instructions for the configurable control. The web template author can configure and view previews of the inserted configurable controls as they are added to the web template being developed within the static markup language-based authoring tool. When the web template author is satisfied with a version of a web template, the web template author can upload the static markup language definition of the web template to the server, where the web template is converted into a CMS-compatible web template.

Abstract: A method and device enables tokenless authorization of an electronic payment between a payor and a payee using an electronic identicator and a payor bid biometric sample. The payor registers with a registration biometric sample, and a payor financial account identifier. The payee registers a payee identification data with the electronic identicator. A payee bid identification data and a payor bid biometric sample are electronically forwarded to the identicator. The bid biometric sample is compared with registered biometric samples and the payee's bid identification data is compared with a payee's registered identification data for a successful or failed identifications of the payor and payee. If successful, an electronic financial transaction is then formed comprising a transaction amount and a payor financial account identifier. Loyalty or reward information stored in the database at the DPC is automatically transmitted back to the PIA along with any financial account information.

Abstract: The invention as described provides a method and system for tokenless authorization of commercial transactions between a buyer and a seller using a computer system. The method comprises the steps of registering a buyer, wherein the buyer registers with the computer system a PIN, at least one registration biometric sample, and at least one buyer financial account. The method also includes a seller registration step, wherein the seller registers with the computer system at least one seller financial account. In a proposal step, the seller offers a proposed commercial transaction to the buyer usually comprising price information. If the buyer accepts the seller's proposal, in an acceptance step, the buyer signals his/her acceptance by adding to the proposed commercial transaction the buyer's personal authentication information comprising a PIN and at least one bid biometric sample which is obtained from the buyer's person.

Abstract: A method and device enables tokenless authorization of an electronic payment between a payor and a payee using an electronic identicator and a one payor bid biometric sample. The payor registers with a registration biometric sample, and a payor financial account identifier. The payee registers a payee identification data with the electronic identicator. A payee bid identification data and a payor bid biometric sample are electronically forwarded to the identicator. The bid biometric sample is compared with registered biometric samples and the payee's bid identification data is compared with a payee's registered identification data for a successful or failed identifications of the payor and payee. If the identicator successfully identifies the payor and payee, the identicator electronically forwards a payor financial account identifier to the payee. An electronic financial transaction is then formed comprising a transaction amount and a payor financial account identifier.

Abstract: A magnetic tool holder includes a body having an area defining a cavity, the body including an inner surface and an outer surface, a magnet disposed on the outer surface of the body, wherein the magnet is operable to releasably adhere the body to a magnetic surface, an insert, wherein the insert is operable to be received within the cavity, wherein the insert includes at least one area defining a compartment, at least one tool, wherein the tool is selectively operable to be received within the compartment, and a cap, wherein the cap is selectively operable to engage an end portion of the outer surface of the body, wherein a magnet is disposed on an outer surface of the cap, wherein the magnet is operable to releasably adhere the cap to a magnetic surface.

Abstract: The present invention shows a method and a device system for tokenless authorization of commercial transactions between a user and a seller. The user registers at least one registration biometric sample, and at least one user financial account. The seller registers with the computer system at least one seller financial account. The seller offers a proposed commercial transaction to the user, which includes price information. The user accepts the seller's proposed commercial transaction by adding to the proposed commercial transaction the user's personal authentication information. The bid biometric sample is forwarded to the computer system. The computer system compares the bid biometric sample with registration biometric samples. Upon successful match, a financial account of the user is debited and a financial account of the seller is credited, wherein a commercial transaction is conducted without the user having to use any portable man-made memory devices such as smartcards or swipe cards.

Abstract: An improved process for producing an aromatic carboxylic acid from an aromatic alkyl hydrocarbon is described, wherein the improvement comprises using the same aromatic alkyl hydrocarbon as the azeotropic agent for separation of acetic acid and methyl acetate from water via azeotropic distillation. The process of this invention has considerable advantages over other known processes, particularly in regards to consumption of the azeotropic agent and utilities, formation of undesirable impurities and operating costs.
