Abstract: A multi-chamber saliva-collection device is configured to segregate a saliva sample into at least two aliquots, each of the at least two aliquots being contained within a distinct chamber of the multi-chamber device, wherein the multi-chamber device is useful for performing an instant analyte test and a subsequent DNA confirmation to validate the identity of the tested individual. Related methods for using the device to obtain each of: an analyte test result, and a DNA confirmation of the identity of the individual from which the tested saliva sample, are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present provides an automated technique for identifying compatible products and components of a mobile, wireless Internet enabled device. In an embodiment of the invention, a user of the wireless device requests a web page of an appropriate web site, e.g., a web site pertaining to that of a product and component retailer, which is facilitated by a web server. The web server obtains the respective user agent signature corresponding to the user's web browser. The server then analyzes the user agent signature to identify, among other things, the make and model of the user's device. By knowing the make and model of the user's device, the web server can then query a database to determine compatible products and components for use with the device. The web server then displays those compatible products and components and can facilitate the purchase of those products and components by the user.

Abstract: The present invention provides a technique for detecting and replacing consumable components, e.g., printer cartridges, of computer peripherals, e.g., printers. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a consumer loads a web page of a printer cartridge supplier. The web page includes a link to a server-based software application for identifying suitable replacement printer cartridges for the consumer. Upon download and activation by the consumer, the software scans the operating system of the consumer's local computer to determine the number and types of printer drivers installed on that computer. Generally, each printer driver is associated with a particular make and model of a peripheral printer connected to the consumer's computer.
