Abstract: A system for improving the management and usage of blocks based on intrinsic endurance may be used to improve memory usage for flash memory, such as a memory card. The overall card endurance may be extended by cycling blocks with higher intrinsic endurance over the lowest endurance target of the worst block. This may be accomplished by managing blocks with different intrinsic endurance values internally or by partitioning the blocks with different intrinsic endurance values externally for different usage.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a simultaneous voice and data user interface for secure catalog orders and in particular for providing a system and method for providing a distributed voice user interface for a remote device having a limited visual user interface simultaneously with a data stream for facilitating secure automated catalog orders for simultaneous electronic fulfillment applied to that device are described.

Abstract: According to some embodiments a system and a method are provided to determine a correct mail recipient are disclosed. The method comprises receiving an incorrectly addressed mail piece from a sender, scanning the mail piece, analyzing the scanned mail piece to produce analysis results, determining a correct address for the mail piece based at least in part on the analysis results, printing a correctly addressed label based on the determination, adhering the correctly addressed label to the mail piece, sending the mail piece comprising the correctly addressed label to a mail recipient, and transmitting a notification of the correct address to the sender.

Abstract: A board that hides information in a manner that only certain authorized personnel may change the information and other authorized personnel may view the information. This invention accomplishes the foregoing by placing a locked panel of translucent material over certain information written on the board that may only be changed by an authorized individual by opening the lock. A panel of opaque material is placed over the translucent material in a manner that certain information written on the board will be revealed when authorized personnel remove the opaque material or cause the opaque material to be transparent. The translucent material may be removed by activating a switch or entering a code.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method and system that only destroys documents that a party wants destroyed. The system also maintains a record of destroyed documents and saved documents. The foregoing may be accomplished by: placing information directly on a document that uniquely identifies the document; placing information in a database that uniquely identifies the document in which information was placed, and the date, if any, in which the document is scheduled to be destroyed; scanning the placed information on documents that are going to be destroyed; attempting to destroy the document; and checking in the database to determine whether or not the document should be destroyed, whereby if the database indicates the document should be destroyed, the document is destroyed, and if the database indicates that the document should not be destroyed, the document is not destroyed.

Abstract: A method of facilitating the maintenance of an address list of each of a plurality of mailers wherein master address information based on current address list information received from each of the mailers is maintained, and wherein the mailers are automatically notified of address changes based on change of address information for a plurality of movers provided. Also, a method of facilitating the maintenance of an address list of each of a plurality of mailers in response to a change of address request being provided to a postal service by a mover that specifies a new address for the mover. Finally, a method of assisting a party to notify selected payees of one or more changes in contact related information for the party that is provided in conjunction with an electronic bill payment system through which a party makes payments to the payees.

Abstract: A method for real time communications between doctors and hospital personnel to resolve patient documentation issues by providing an imaged replica of a paper medical record that is being prepared by one or more doctors to one or more hospital personnel while the paper record is being prepared by the doctor; receiving by the hospital personnel the imaged replica; and reviewing by the hospital personnel the imaged replica so that the hospital personnel may determine whether or not the doctor provided sufficient information on the medical record for the hospital personnel to accurately code the medical record.

Abstract: A system and method for bridging existing paper-based invoicing methods to electronic methods that is simple to use and cost effective is disclosed. A billing party generates a transaction identification number in the process of preparing an invoice and sends the transaction identification number to the consumer via a physical mail piece or e-mail. The invoice data is stored in a standard format in a secure server along with the transaction identification number. The consumer, upon receipt of the physical mail piece, inputs the transaction identification number to a computer, such as, for example, by scanning, accesses the secure server and sends the transaction identification number to retrieve the invoice data. The invoice data is then automatically entered into the consumer's software systems.
