Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for delivering messages, such as advertising messages. Printed labels are provided on drinks container lids, such as takeaway coffee container lids. Providing printed labels has the advantage that the lid does not need to be changed to provide a different message. Only the printed label has to be changed. To facilitate placement of the printed labels on the lids, the present invention also provides a labelling machine which includes delivery apparatus for delivering lids to a labelling position. The delivery apparatus includes a picker arrangement arranged to pick individual lids from a magazine and place them on a conveyer for delivery to the labelling point. It also includes a stacker apparatus for stacking the lids into a magazine for ease of distribution.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a user interface system for interfacing a user with a plurality of vendor servers over a computer network. The system enables a computer user to create a plurality of “virtual” connections to secure vendor servers serving up content which requires some level of security to enable access to the content. The computer user provides the password necessary for access to the content to the interface system. The interface system stores these passwords. When the user wishes to make a connection, they connect to the interface system, the passwords are validated by the interface system and content is subsequently served to the user from the vendor servers.
