  • Patent number: 10388181
    Abstract: In one aspect, provided herein is a device for notating a musical composition. The device, in various implementations, is structured so as to be less laborious to notate, easier to read, and more simple to employ in notating, reading, and/or playing the music of a given composition to be composed and/or played. Accordingly, in its most basic form, the device herein disclosed includes a template, upon which template one or more symbols may be notated, where such notation is configured in a manner that more closely relates the note to be played with the mechanical action needed to be performed so as to play that note, such as on an instrument to be or being played.

  • Publication number: 20070131758
    Abstract: Methods and systems for receiving account data, where the account data includes an account number that is compared to a previously submitted account number where the previously submitted account number is associated with a successful payment. It is then determined if there is a likely match between the account number and the previously submitted account number by performing at least one of several fuzzy logic techniques. Upon determining that the likely match exists the parsed account number is automatically replaced with the previously submitted account number.

  • Publication number: 20060049242
    Abstract: Methods according to the invention include accepting e-check data input from a payer, parsing the data to determine the bank routing number and the ostensible checking account number, determining the correct number of checking account digits based on the bank routing number, determining whether the ostensible checking account number has the correct number of digits, and prompting the payer to re-enter the checking account number with the correct number of digits if necessary. In addition, the methods include automatically pre-pending and/or appending zero digits where necessary to correct the number of digits in the checking account number. In cases where the payer includes the check number as part of the account number, the methods include removing the check number from the account number by prompting the payer to enter the check number so that it can be deleted from the account number.

  • Publication number: 20050105559
    Abstract: A media gateway controller can manage a remote media gateway by sending standard media gateway control commands over an HDLC channel in a time division multiplexed link. The media gateway control commands are sent from the media gateway controller to a local media gateway, where the commands are encapsulated in a command packet and placed in the information field of an HDLC frame. The remote media gateway receives the HDLC frame, removes the media gateway control command, and takes the steps necessary to process the command. The command packet may include a packet header that identifies the type of command contained in the packet.

  • Patent number: 6695534
    Abstract: The fluid containment system comprises a plurality of interlocking wall sections, each having a male connector at one end and a mating female connector at an opposite end for connection to the male connector of an adjacent wall section in alignment therewith having a similar configuration. A plurality of connector sections are also provided which connect the wall sections at right angles to one another for forming a perimeter about a selected area to contain spilled fluid within the selected area. A liner is provided which spans the selected area and is secured to the wall sections about the perimeter of the selected area by a suitable capping system. The connector sections permit the selected area to be divided by the wall sections into plural divided and contained zones for protecting various different fluid storage systems within the selected area against undesirable spillage and possible mixing with one another.
