    摘要: A universal automated order processing system represents multiple (e.g., hundreds or thousands) participating merchants who offer their products through the system. Customers become qualified for using the system by supplying a set of information (e.g., name, credit card number, shipping address) that is stored in a customer database. When a customer wishes to order a product, the customer calls the system, customer identity is automatically confirmed, the customer enters a product order number and the complete order is routed to the appropriate merchant with the information necessary for the merchant to fulfill the order. Available credit verification and other aspects of credit card transactions may be handled by either the system operator or the merchant. The system operator may offer revolving credit. The system may also be used to provide potential customers of the merchants with free product information. In certain embodiments, the processing system may be used to verify customer identity at security check-in at public transportation sites (e.g., airports) or other public venues (e.g., concerts, sporting events).

    摘要: The invention relates to video distribution systems and, more particularly, to a system that blanket transmits video/audio content such as digital data (for example, via satellite downlink transmission) to each customer's computer-based recording, storage and playback system. Customers preselect from a list of available digital data or other content in advance using an interactive screen selector, and pay for only the video/audio content that is actually viewed.

    摘要: Music is blanket transmitted (for example, via satellite downlink transmission) to each customer's user station where selected music files are recorded. Customers preselect from a list of available music in advance using an interactive screen selector, and pay only for music that they choose to playback for their enjoyment. An antipiracy “ID tag” is woven into the recorded music so that any illegal copies therefrom may be traced to the purchase transaction. Music is transmitted on a fixed schedule or through an active scheduling process that monitors music requests from all or a subset of satellite receivers and adjust scheduling according to demand for various CD's. Receivers store selections that are likely to be preferred by a specific customer. In those instances where weather conditions, motion of atmospheric layers or dish obstructions result in data loss, the system downloads the next transmission of the requested CD and uses both transmissions to produce a “good copy”. In conjunction with the blanket transmission of more popular music, an automated CD manufacturing facility may be provided to manufacture CD's that are not frequently requested and distribute them by ground transportation.

    摘要: The invention disclosed herein is a finger-mounted, detail cleaning apparatus and system for cleaning small, angled or contoured surfaces that are difficult to clean. The finger-mounted apparatus is specially contoured with an internal cavity in which a user places one of his or her fingers. The internal cavity is tapered with a wider cavity at the entry point and a narrower cavity toward the tip to accommodate users having a wide range of finger sizes. A disposable or reusable cleaning cover may be placed over the tip of the finger-mounted apparatus, and secured by any means known in the art.
