Abstract: Embodiments of a method for negotiating a service include enabling a first user to submit a set of information for establishing a service on behalf of another person, the set of information prohibited from being submitted by the first user unless the set of information completely satisfies criteria for the set of information that is needed for establishing the service in accordance with operating standards for establishing the service. The method further includes, after submission of the set of information by the first user, notifying a second user of the submission and enabling the second user to review the set of information and update the set of information with additional information regarding establishment of the service. Other methods and systems are also provided.

Abstract: Improved computer interface system using multiple independent hardware and virtual human-computer input devices and related enabling subroutines is disclosed. Multiple independent data input devices allow users to input data independently from multiple independent data input devices to operating system. Input device driver decodes input from multiple independent input devices. Operating system interface software interprets data from input device driver. Operating system software further generates and controls multiple cursors or control points. Input device aware program obtains and interprets input devices event message, and controls input device aware objects.

Abstract: An activated carbon monolith catalyst comprising a finished self-supporting activated carbon monolith having at least one passage therethrough, and comprising a supporting matrix and substantially discontinuous activated carbon particles dispersed throughout the supporting matrix and at least one catalyst precursor on the finished self-supporting activated carbon monolith. A method for making, and a method for use, of such an activated carbon monolith catalyst in catalytic chemical reactions are also disclosed.

Abstract: A Quick Connect/Disconnect System including a female socket, male connector with pushpin, body tube, setscrews, locknut, adjustable screw, release aid adapter, and cap screw. This Quick Connect/Disconnect System can be used to secure two members together in a wide variety of applications where quick connection/disconnection of the two members is desired. The female socket is secured to one member and the male connector with pushpin, body tube, setscrews, locknut, adjustable screw, release aid adapter, and cap screw are secured to the other member. The female socket is attached to the first for removably connecting an object such as an archery release aid to a wrist strap. The Quick Connect/Disconnect System includes a first component intended for permanent attachment to an archery release aid wrist strap, and a second component intended for attachment to an archery release aid.

Abstract: A user may initiate a video conference session by dialing a predefined code on their telephone and thereafter dialing the telephone number of the party with whom it is desired to establish the video conference. An AIN network retrieves pre-stored information regarding the characteristics of the computing systems to be included in the video conference. Thereafter, the network automatically establishes communication between the computing devices.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for providing a multiple language capability in a computer-based target application such as a personal computer-based (PC-based) attendant console for a communications switching system. The multiple language capability of the present invention includes the ability to dynamically change language selections for the text-based information that is visually presented to a user of the target application, which includes commands, labels, status and error messages, help screens, and the like. Users can either select a pre-programmed standard language, customize any of the standard languages to create a modified version of the standard language, or create a new language. In one embodiment, a multiple language capable PC-based attendant console includes a programmable computer with a custom language development function, a privileged operations function for administrators, and an attendant operations function.

Abstract: An improved process for humidifying a gas stream with a precise amount of moisture used in a variety of heat treating processes including annealing, brazing, and sintering of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys, reflow soldering of electronic components, glass-to-metal sealing, chemical processes, chemical vapor deposition of metal oxides, laser processing, fuel cells, etc. The gaseous stream is humidified by introducing a controlled amount of water through a precision metering device and a known and precise flow rate of a gas stream into a gas-liquid contactor, and shearing and vaporizing the water stream in the gas-liquid contactor with the gas stream.

Abstract: A refreshment center having a modular construction and including a mini door and a frame is described. The mini door is fabricated and assembled separate from the frame, and the mini door includes a hinge system and a trigger. The mini door provides quick and convenient access to the refreshment center by being simple and easy to open and close. The frame, in an exemplary embodiment, is a one piece plastic molded part which serves as the main structural member of the assembly. The frame includes first and second spaced apart planar members, and further includes a keeper slot and a keeper for being inserted within the slot. The keeper extends from the slot and at least partially through a keeper slot in the door trim. The frame further includes a switch cavity for housing at least a portion of a switch assembly. A switch bracket is provided to be secured over the switch cavity and is engaged to the frame by a screw.
