    Abstract: A waterless waste disposal system to suspend a bag inside of a toilet bowl, and under a user, to collect solid/semi-solid human waste. The bag preferably includes a perforation on its front side that the user can tear open to allow urine to pass over the top of the bag and into the toilet bowl while the user is seated over the bag.

  • Patent number: 8768829
    Abstract: System and method for a second credit card issuer to provide transactional credit to a credit cardholder of a first credit card issuer, when the cardholder's account with the first issuer is in good standing and has an available credit balance equal to, or greater than, a proposed financial transaction with a merchant who does not accept the credit card of the first issuer, but does accept the credit card of the second issuer. The second issuer may charge a convenience fee to the customer, merchant, first credit card issuer, or any combination of them, for providing the transactional credit. Additionally, the second issuer may provide transactional credit to a customer to complete a financial transaction, via a reactivated credit card account of the second issuer, when the customer has a closed credit card account of the second credit card issuer that was closed in good standing.

  • Patent number: 8452683
    Abstract: System and method provide for making a synthetic cash advance to a credit cardholder via a purchase-payment exchange. A second person selects an item to be purchased by a cardholder for the second person, and in exchange for the cardholder's credit card purchase, the second person pays the cardholder an amount of money that is less than the amount charged to the cardholder's credit card. Using this invention, the second person receives the selected item (or has a payment made) at a discount, and the cardholder is able to transform a credit card purchase into a synthetic cash advance at the credit card's purchase interest rate. Two or more cardholders may bid in an online auction to complete the second person's financial transaction in exchange for the second person's money. A cardholder who submits a conforming bid, that is willing to accept the least amount of money, may be selected as the auction winner.

  • Patent number: 8160219
    Abstract: An inmate calls a call processing system and provides two phone numbers to it. The first phone number is for a 2nd Party who will accept the inmate's collect call and who will agree to pay any additional charge for adding a third party to the collect call. The second phone number is for a 3rd Party the inmate would like added to the collect call. The call processing system places the inmate on hold while the system dials the 2nd Party. When the 2nd Party accepts the inmate's collect call and agrees to pay for an additional fee for establishing a three-way call during the collect call, the inmate is taken off hold and is connected to the 2nd Party.

  • Patent number: 8135640
    Abstract: System and method provide for making a synthetic cash advance to a credit cardholder via a purchase-payment exchange. A beneficiary selects an item to be purchased by a cardholder for the beneficiary, and in exchange for the cardholder's purchase, the beneficiary transfers funds to the cardholder in an amount that is less than the purchase price of the item. Using this invention, the beneficiary receives the selected item, has a payment made at a discount, and the cardholder receives cash at the card's purchase interest rate. Two or more cardholders may be allowed to bid to make the beneficiary's purchase or payment. The winning bid may be selected based on the cardholder bid having the largest discount from the purchase price.

  • Publication number: 20110172065
    Abstract: Disclosed is a strength training dummy for use in strengthening those muscles used in performing a guillotine choke. The dummy may have the form and dimensions of a man's head, neck, shoulders and upper torso. The dummy provides resistance to a user who pulls or lifts the dummy in a guillotine choke, beyond the weight of the dummy, when the dummy is attached to a weight. For example, the dummy may have a spine attached to a cable of a weight machine having an adjustable weight load. As the user becomes stronger in performing the guillotine choke, the dummy's resistance can be increased up to the weight machine's maximum load, to challenge the user. Instead of being attached to a cable, the dummy may attach to an extender bar that attaches to a free weight. The extender bar has a bend proximate to its attachment point with the dummy's spine. The extender bar's bend and length create a fulcrum to increase the difficulty of lifting a weight attached to the opposite end of the extender bar.

  • Publication number: 20110110506
    Abstract: Prior to establishing a collect call, the called party agrees to pay an additional fee for any three-way call that may be established during the proposed collect call. If during the collect call, the called party attempts to add a third party to the collect call, a call processing system determines whether the third party's phone number is blocked from accepting a collect call. If the third party's phone number is blocked from accepting a collect call, the number will be dialed in an attempt to establish a three-way call. If the third person's phone number is not blocked from accepting a collect call, the called party to the original collect call will be advised that the phone number entered is not eligible for three-ways calling during the collect call, and the parties to the original collect call will be reconnected.

  • Publication number: 20090037271
    Abstract: Based on an online customer's selection of format and postal delivery option for an item (i.e. book, CD, or movie DVD) to be purchased, a computer implemented service recommends the additional purchase of a lesser included part (i.e. chapter, song, or movie scene) of the same item, in a digital format for download or access. The online customer who follows the recommendation will be able to download any selected lesser included part(s), or access any selected lesser included part(s) at a website controlled by the online merchant. In this way the online customer will have a “get it now option”, so that the customer may begin enjoying a lesser included part of the item immediately while waiting for the item to be delivered by postal carrier.
