Abstract: A counterfeit-proof label for consumers' identification and verification with unaided eyes and without using a device or performing any additional process is provided. The counterfeit-proof label has a series of first images printed along a first moving path and a series of second image printed along a second moving path for providing coordinated and synchronized moving relationship determined by a relationship length parameter and a relationship angle parameter for continuous moves of visual effect images as the counterfeit-proof label continuously tilts with a series of angles. A security coating is applied on the counterfeit-proof label to prevent the printed.

Abstract: Members vote on which investments within an agreed upon list of investments they believe should be bought and sold. Members can be general members or experts. Records of each member's voting history are retained and compared against market data showing actual gains and losses associated with each investment. Members whose votes are consistent with actual performance (they made good selections) are given higher weights; members whose votes are inconsistent with actual performance (they made bad selections) are given lower weight. Investment assets are bought and sold based on the collective vote of the members. Members are rewarded for a good voting record by receiving an additional share of the incremental profit of the collective investment.

Abstract: A dual flush toilet system (120) with a water tank (122), a discharge opening (159), a flush valve (156), and a toilet bowl, is provided with a dual action flush lever (130) for actuating a full or a partial flush operation, an engaging device (161) with a V-shaped groove (160) for selectively engaging the flush valve (156) in both upward or downward movements and rotations about a vertical axis, a travel limit device (141) for limiting the maximum vertical travels of the flush valve (146), a load device (420) for selectively applying a downward load to the flush valve (156) to forcibly push the flush valve (156) down to close the discharge opening (159), and an electronic control system (1020) for electronically regulating the volumes of water used to flush the dual flush toilet system (120) according to the wastes in the toilet bowl.

Abstract: A container formed from a preformed blank with four side walls and plurality of flaps on top and bottom of the container has plurality of adhesive tapes attached on the surfaces to assemble and seal the container without cutting off a piece of tape from a separate seal tape. The adhesive tape comprises three zones: two side zones with pressure-sensitive adhesive coating on the surfaces and one middle zone without adhesive coating in the middle of and adjacent to the two side zones. The middle zone of the adhesive tape is delimited by two perforation lines or breaking-off lines between the third zone and the two side zones. One side zone is attached to a surface of the container and the other side zone is covered with a protective strip in the fabricating process. When a user assembles and seals the container, the user peels off the protective strip on the side zone and presses against another surface of the container.
