Publication number: 20050114262Abstract: Method of processing payments for goods and services using electronic payment via a peer-to-peer network includes an order for the relevant goods or services being placed by a purchaser using a payment request terminal. The payment request terminal conveys purchaser payment information to a purchase request peer within the network. In response to the conveyed information, the purchase request peer locates within the network a payment-processing peer with the ability to generate a charge against a specified account via a payment-processing terminal. The purchase request peer forwards the information through the network (via zero or more message-passing peers) to the payment-processing peer. The payment-processing peer attempts to generate the charge, and then returns the result of the attempt (successful or unsuccessful) to the purchase request peer and any other peers that have registered an interest in this information.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2004Publication date: May 26, 2005Applicant: VehicleSense, Inc.Inventors: Charles Howard, Olufemi Omojola, John Fallon

Publication number: 20040080780Abstract: An electronic media production system produces an electronic media product which comprises electronic media and packaging for the electronic media. Electronic media data and associated electronic media packaging data for a plurality of electronic media products are stored at a data source. A user requests an electronic media product from the data source and electronic media data and associated electronic media packaging data for the electronic media product are downloaded to the user's computer for the production of the electronic media product by writing the electronic media data to an electronic media and the printing of packaging for the electronic media using the electronic media packaging data. Thus, a complete packaged electronic media product is produced simply from downloaded data from a remote data source.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2002Publication date: April 29, 2004Inventor: Paul John Fallon

Patent number: 5853994Abstract: A system for assaying a fluid sample for one or more types of analytes, which employs at least one class of finely divided polystyrene spheroidal particles, each class being limited to a predetermined specific narrow range of particle diameters, the particles of each such class being coated with a specific reactant unique for that class. After the coated particles are mixed with the sample to specifically react to form conjugates of the particles and any of the analyte present, the mixture is irradiated with bursts of ultrasound swept over a range of frequencies resonant to the expected conjugate sizes. The presence of the conjugates and therefore the analyte is detected directly by measuring any selective absorption or scattering of waves of frequencies to which the conjugates are resonant.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 1996Date of Patent: December 29, 1998Assignee: Analogic CorporationInventors: Gopal Gopinathan, Edmund F.
