Abstract: A method of completing a purchase utilizing a first electronic network and a second electronic network, the method being applicable for example to a case in which the second network (which may be the public telephone system) is considered by knowledgeable people to be more secure than the first network (which may be the Internet).

Abstract: The present invention is geared generally towards the transmission of data, such as images, audio, video, or text, as a continuous stream via a network to recipients. In particular, the present invention relates to enabling the transmission of data to recipients and enabling the recipients to interact and influence the content of the transmission.

Abstract: Methods and systems for virtually representing devices at remote sites are provided. Such methods may include registering information associated with a device, generating a virtual representation of the device on a remote user access device, and commanding the device to perform an action.

Abstract: The present invention is an umbrella that is opened by pulling down on ropes connected to each of its arms. Since ropes are used to both open the umbrella and to keep it from opening too wide, there are no rigid parts that can break other than the central pole and each arm. The central pole and each arm can be easily replaced since the parts are held together by ropes and knots.

Abstract: A single-use portion of dental cleaning substance provided in a tidy, convenient, and hygienic manner. The single-use portion of dental cleaning substance may be provided in a solid form and may be utilized via a traditional toothbrush (electronic or standard) or by use of a specific device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing registration at a remote site that may include, for example, a monitoring module that may communicate with a remote site. A registration protocol may be used by the monitoring module and the remote site in generating the messages communicated during the registration process. The monitoring module may gather and generate various identification information to be included in the registration protocol messages. The registration information provided by the monitoring module may be stored at the remote site in a database server having a database. A confirmation message may be communicated from the remote site to the monitoring module that may either acknowledge successful registration or report that an error occurred during the registration process.

Abstract: If a computer disk drive is stolen and later recovered, there is no way currently to know if the disk was accessed. The present invention offers a solution to the problem of detecting disk access and provides means for implementing quota and usage restrictions as well as detection schemes. The present invention teaches to use a one-way counter which counts the number of bytes written to and read from the drive. The counter itself can only be read. Operating system software can make use of the counter to provide access control and access detection.

Abstract: As mobile phones have gotten smaller the speaker and microphone do not reach the ear and mouth on the average person's head. The present invention is a stylish and useful way to extend the reach of the microphone and speaker to the mouth and ear. Thin flexible rods extend out of the main body of the phone. The extensions can be retracted into the body of the phone. Push-button activation and automatic extension based on ring-detection are disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed is a digital publishing system that receives input from distributed clients cooperatively contributing to a digital magazine for electronic delivery to electronic playback devices such as Internet connected TVs, radios, CD players, and other devices. The disclosed system and method provide shared access to a TV screen and other playback devices' resources. For example, multiple users of the system can have access to various areas of a screen at various times.

Abstract: An audible pre-recorded message announces call quality and call termination so that a mobile phone user can be alerted when the other party cannot hear him/her and also when the connection has been terminated. A button on a telephone is used to signal a bad connection to the other party.
