  • Publication number: 20040153374
    Abstract: A network-based ticket reselling system is described that makes use of “software notes” for the reselling of tickets. The ticket reselling system generates the software notes in response to ticket data from a seller that identifies one or more tickets for resale and request data from a buyer that indicates a desire to purchase tickets for an event. A first client device may execute notepad software to access the software note on the ticket reselling system and display at least one of the software notes to the buyer for accepting or rejecting an offer to sell the tickets. A second client device may execute notepad software to access the software notes on the ticket reselling system and display at least one of the software notes to the seller for accepting or rejecting an offer to buy the tickets.

  • Publication number: 20020143618
    Abstract: In an arrangement of first, second, and third sites, the first site is a content provider site coupled to a network, the second site is a content recipient site coupled to the network, and the third site operated by a third party. The first site executes first program code for the posting of a note thereat, and the first site is operated by a content provider. The second site executes second program code, and the second program code is compliant with the note posted at the first site. The third site receives payment based upon the note posted at the first site.

  • Patent number: 4460907
    Abstract: Electrographic imaging apparatus which includes a portion for producing an unfixed or nonpermanent toner powder image on a first receptor in accordance with electrical signals, a second portion for providing a light image from the toner powder image with a third portion operated to carry out an electrophotographic process for producing a permanent image on a second receptor. The third portion includes a photoconductive member which receives the light image from the second portion to provide a latent image that is developed and transferred to the second receptor to provide the permanent image.

  • Patent number: 4121931
    Abstract: A method using a one-component developer of magnetically attractable, electrically insulating toner particles for developing an electrical potential pattern at a surface. Electrical means and an electrode-developer transport means are provided with the electrode-developer transport means positioned relative to the electrical potential pattern for establishing a unidirectional electrical difference between the potential pattern and an electrically conductive portion provided by the electrode-developer transport means. Rapid turbulent physical mixing action of the toner is provided for producing sufficient repetitive electrical contact of the toner with the electrically conductive portion to cause electrical charge of a predetermined polarity to be injected onto the toner particles. A charge level is so produced, which is sufficient to cause such charged toner particles to be deposited on the potential pattern bearing surface in accordance with the potential pattern.

  • Patent number: 4119373
    Abstract: An improvement to the method and apparatus of producing multiple copies of a document using a copy machine having an arsenic selenide photoconductive layer and wherein a development technique is used that is capable of providing uniformly-filled solid areas. The improvement includes the step of exposing the photoconductive layer to light energy prior to uniformly charging the photoconductor for each copy to be produced with such light energy and the light energy used for exposing the charged photoconductor to the light image of the document selected in terms of light energy and spectral distribution to establish a stablized fatigue level for the photoconductive layer thereby eliminating objectionable image density variations between successive copies made of the original.
