Abstract: This invention relates to anti-spill disposable and reusable drink-through lids for hot and cold disposable and reusable beverage cups. The present invention is directed to drink-through lids which may be placed over and attached to disposable and reusable beverage cups and which provides a drink-through opening near the perimeter of the lid's top surface for easy drinking. The drink-though lid can accommodate a consumer's lips or a beverage disposable or reusable straw. When used with a straw, the lid and straw combination creates a spill-proof seal.

Abstract: Upon detecting at a two-way communication device that a communication link has been terminated, the two-way communication device can provide a unique corresponding signal (such as a unique audible signal) to indicate such termination. Pursuant to one approach, a plurality of such unique signals are available and a specific one of the available signals is selected for use in a given circumstance using a selection criteria of choice.

Abstract: A wireless communication device (20) is provided (12) with at least one promotional message. Upon determining (13) that a communication link for that wireless communication device with a third party is established, at least one promotional message is provided (14) at the communication device to indicate establishment of that communication link to a user of the communication device. In a preferred approach the promotional message is unique in that the signal is not used for other annunciation or notice purposes. For example, the communication device will not use this signal to also indicate the existence of an incoming call.

Abstract: Upon detecting (11) at a two-way communication device that a communication link has been terminated, the two-way communication device can provide (14) a unique corresponding signal (such as a unique audible signal) to indicate such termination. Pursuant to one approach, a plurality of such unique signals (13) are available and a specific one of the available signals is selected (12) for use in a given circumstance using a selection criteria of choice.

Abstract: Upon detecting (101) at a two-way communication device that a communication link has been terminated, the two-way communication device can provide (104) a unique corresponding signal (such as a unique audible signal) to indicate such termination and can also provide (107) a secondary signal. Pursuant to one approach, a plurality of such unique signals (103) and/or secondary signals (106) are available and a specific one of the available signals is selected (102 and/or 105) for use in a given circumstance using a selection criteria of choice.
