Publication number: 20070260605Abstract: A referral-tracking system accepts listings from originators and generates referral identifiers that represent referrals of those listings. A referral identifier represents a referral by the originator or by someone who, after receiving a listing identifier from an s originator or someone else, applies to the system to be recognized as a referrer and has accordingly been issued a referral identifier that associates that requester with a listing to be referred. By noting the requests that it receives for referral identifiers, the system can track a chain of referrals from a requester to the person who ultimately fulfills the listing. Some identifiers may be multi-referral identifiers, which represent referrals of multiple listings and can be used by the requester to refer multiple listings simultaneously to the same referral-identifier recipient.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2006Publication date: November 8, 2007Applicant: H Three, Inc.Inventors: John Norman, Stanley Ward

Publication number: 20060224729Abstract: A computer system is configured as a referral-tracking system that responds to receipt of a listing from a recruiter by generating an identifier, associating it with that listing, and giving it to the recruiter. If, before the listing is withdrawn, the system thereafter receives from a requester a message offering to forward the listing and incorporating that identifier or another identifier that the system has associated with that listing, it generates a further identifier as a child of the received identifier, associates that further identifier with the listing and the requester, and sends it to the requester. Consequently, if the listing is fulfilled by someone identified to the system as having received a message that incorporated one of those identifiers, the system determines that identifier's ancestors and thereby compute the chain of referring requesters that led to the listing's being fulfilled. It can also compute an appropriate incentive-award distribution to the referring requesters.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2005Publication date: October 5, 2006Applicant: H Three, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Rowe, Stanley Ward, John Norman

Patent number: 5897232Abstract: A photographic camera (10) includes a film supply chamber (14); a film takeup chamber (16) and a film exposure gate (18) positioned between the chambers. The gate defines a maximum exposed image width (W) in a direction of film travel between the chambers and a maximum exposed image height (H) in a direction transverse to the direction of film travel. A plurality of mask members (24, 26) extend transverse to the direction of travel, each mask member being configured for masking only a portion of the maximum exposed image width. There is no mask in the camera configured for masking a portion of the maximum exposed image height. A mechanism (88-94) moves the mask members toward or away from a center of the exposure gate to reduce or increase only a final exposed image width (W.sub.e), without masking the maximum exposed image height. As a result, the final width of the exposed image indicates a required enlargement of exposed image to produce a pseudo telephoto print.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 1996Date of Patent: April 27, 1999Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Stanley Ward Stephenson, Paul Teremy

Patent number: 5694629Abstract: A camera film transport mechanism includes a torque limiting one-way drive clutch for preventing film damaging excessive torque loading or reverse rotation of the drive. The clutch includes coaxial inner and outer members. A resilient arm extends generally tangentially from one of the members with a free end biased against the other member and engagable with a tooth or abutment thereon to transmit torque therebetween. A sloping surface on one or both of the tooth and the arm end limits torque transmission by camming the arm out of engagement when the friction force is overcome. Multiple arms and/or abutment teeth may be provided and the arms may be arranged for either compressive or tensile loading. Slip torque deviation is limited by making the engaging surfaces from diverse materials, for example, an amorphous polymer, such as polycarbonate styrene, for one surface and a semi-crystalline polymer, such as nylon or acetal, for the other.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 1995Date of Patent: December 2, 1997Assignee: Eastman Kodak CompanyInventors: Stanley Ward Stephenson, III, Tom Michael Seamans
