Abstract: A mechanism for selecting and actuating functions of a timepiece movement comprising a winding stem (1) terminated at one of the ends thereof by a crown, the winding stem (1) being displaceable in rotation and in axial translation, is arranged to occupy three distinct axial positions, namely a first winding position, a second position of selecting one among n functions in response to a rotation of the winding stem (1) about the axis thereof, and a third position of actuating a function kinematically linked to the winding crown. The mechanism further comprises a cam wheel (7) which, when the selection mechanism is in the second position thereof, is kinematically linked to the winding stem (1), the cam wheel (7) including a guide member (8) on which n rest positions are arranged, each corresponding to a function.

Abstract: In one aspect, orders for goods or services are enabled to be received from electronic devices situated at multiple points at which orders are to be placed, and the orders are received electronically through a communication medium that enables automatic identification of the location at which each of the orders is placed.

Abstract: In one aspect, an electronic association is maintained between each order received at a place at which goods or services are offered, the goods or services to be delivered at a point in the place, and the association of the order with the delivery place is enabled to be altered between the time when the order is placed and the time when the order is delivered.
