Abstract: System for handling messages and distributing information between subscribers and their customers and contact. Each system subscriber can generate customized landing and flyer web pages called flyer pages for each of the subscriber's products, services, and/or listings. Landing and flyer pages can contain multiple links to other flyer pages. When a subscriber's customer or contact views a landing or flyer page and clicks on a link presented on that page, the system provides subscriber's information to a customer or contact immediately after the information is requested. The system can also make a lead, including a record of that event, and present the record to the subscriber who owns the landing or flyer page, allowing a subscriber to view a report with a history of who has viewed which page for all leads generated for their pages. Leads are tracked through a process that includes steps of lead generation and lead propagation.

Abstract: A multiple server based interactive voice response (IVR) system in which individual IVR strings on an index computer are associated with connections to external servers, the IVR system index computer accessible by each individual IVR string's self-identification telephone number either from Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS) information, Automatic Number Identification (ANI) service information, item ID information provided by a caller or a combination thereof. When a call is received to the IVR system index computer, it uses DNIS, ANI and/or item ID information to route the call to string information (outgoing messages, menu options, etc) which might be located the index computer or on a clientele computer. In embodiments, the client business might be able to easily access the information associating options to messages and the message files themselves and change their IVR string without technical support.

Abstract: A handheld multichannel pipette includes multiple fluid-handling nozzles and a rotary adjustment mechanism for adjusting the width of a pattern of nozzles while maintaining equal spacing between pairs of nozzles. Embodiments of the adjustable-spacing multichannel pipette include an adjustable stop mechanism.

Abstract: A method and device for providing brochures to interested parties using cellular communication devices such as cellular telephones, cellular enabled digital devices and the like. An access number which may be contacted by a cellular communication device is provided in an advertisement of an item, the access number being a short code, telephone number or the like. An active seeker device continuously receives messages sent to the access number, then a database of information is consulted and an informational message sent to the caller. The informational message may be an SMS text message, a photograph of the item, an opt-in message to receive further information, and combinations thereof. Items may include any object or estate commonly advertised for sale or lease, such as real estate, vehicles, consumer products and the like.

Abstract: A system for controlling power applied to a resistor array within a heating pad is provided. The system includes a power supply for connecting the system to a power source, a resistor array positioned within a heating pad for generating heat based on a selected heat level, and a control unit for determining the level of heat to be generated and the duration of time power is applied to the resistor array. In an embodiment, the control unit includes a timing device for generating one of an initial set time period and a shortened time period, at the expiration of either of which the supply of power to the system is terminated. The control unit further includes a mechanism which can initiate the shortened time period in place of the initial set time period. The mechanism may be used to reset the shortened time period to its full duration, after an elapsed period, each time the mechanism is activated.

Abstract: At least two trim tabs 12 are mounted on the transom 11 symmetrically on each side of the longitudinal axis of the hull 10. Each trim tab 12 includes a plate 15 mounted on at least two rocker arms 16 for pivotal movement relative to the transom 11 and two or more hydraulic actuators 20 and 21 for pivoting the plate 15 relative to the distal ends of the rocker arms 16.
