  • Patent number: 8443045
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system are provided for storing selected e-mails, including the content of the e-mail and attachments, in a document management system. A user initiates storage of the e-mail by a user-actuated control that is added to the interface of his e-mail application. The e-mail is then copied, indexed and stored in a separate document in the document management system, and attachments to the e-mail are embedded in the separate document. The font and graphics of the e-mail may be stored in the separate document as they as they appeared in the original document. The text of the e-mail may be stored in the binary format that is native to a word processor associated with the document management system.

  • Patent number: 5839728
    Abstract: An independent event dice game that is easy-to-play provides dice to each player and to the dealer or house. After all bets are placed, the players sequentially throw their respective dice, with the throw results separately kept for each player. The dealer's dice are then likewise thrown, with winning players defined as those having dice throws of greater numerical value that the dice throw of the dealer. Certain numeric values are defined to be "wild," and dice throw values of "2", "11", and "12" for a player will win regardless of the dealer's throw value. In a similar manner, the dealer throw value of "3" is also considered to be "wild", and will win over any player-thrown value except the "wild"values of "2", "11", and "12". At the conclusion of each play, all dice are collected to a central location, and are then distributed by the dealer after bets are placed for the next succeeding game.
