Methods and systems for dispensing value are described. In one configuration, a unique tangible indicia is enabled with a value and then disabled after the value is redeemed. In another configuration, a user enables a unique coded stamp and associates a postage payment with the stamp. The postal service cancels the stamp by deactivating the stamp from a list of active stamps and optionally audits the payment association.

A method and system for authenticating the sender of a mailpiece is described for identifying certain mailpieces as originating from known trusted senders. In one configuration, biometric information and/or biometric metadata is captured when a user writes on a mailpiece with a digital pen. That data is then compared to reference data in a database. Registrant data is then loaded into storage device on the mailpiece and may be digitally signed and/or encrypted by the trusted third party. In another configuration, a mailpiece includes the signature of a sender and the biometric data includes authentication data obtained from the signature that is compared to the biometric data related to the signature obtained during a sender registration process.

The present application describes systems and methods for composing documents using a digital pointing instrument. In further configurations, a user utilizes a pen to trace a form serial number that is utilized to identify a form template that is used to process input data from a digital pen.
摘要:
The present application describes systems and methods for creating a document having metadata using a pointing device such as a digital pen. In one configuration, a digital pen captures pen stroke data and processes that data to determine metadata that the pen then writes to metadata storage located on the document.
摘要:
The present application describes systems and methods for composing documents using a digital pointing instrument. In further configurations, a user utilizes a pen to partially fill in a form and provide destination data whereby a forms processor adds additionally required information to the form in order to compose a complete form that is sent to the destination.
摘要:
The present application describes systems and methods for identifying the version of a form using a digital pointing device. In one example, a form includes an RFID tap or barcode including a form version number. When a user is prepared to fill in the form, the digital pen checks a form database to determine if the form version is acceptable. If the form version is not acceptable, the digital pen indicates to the user that the form is not acceptable using an indicator.

The present application describes systems and methods for composing and sending facsimile messages using a digital pointing instrument. In further configurations, a user utilizes a pen to indicate a reference to a document that is appended to the outgoing facsimile. In another further configuration, the user utilizes a form having pre-defined regions that are used to correlate a pen stroke with a desired action.
摘要:
A system of one or more processors, method, and computer readable storage medium, by which a source program having at least one inner scope is processed by identifying variable names in the source program that are upward referencing and storing the upward referencing variable names with an identifier for the associated scope. A candidate shadow variable in a current scope of the source program is determined from variable names that are not among the identified upward referencing variable names. The determined candidate shadow variable is renamed to a variable name that is in an outer scope relative to the current scope. The source program is stored with the renamed variable. The stored source program can be compressed to a size smaller than the original source program in order to require less bandwidth during transmission over a network.

Various recyclable containers are described herein and generally comprise a frame made of a first paper-based material having a bottom wall and side walls that extend from the bottom wall; and a metallic layer that is removably positioned along an inner surface of the bottom and side walls of the frame; and at least one tab that is attached to a portion of the metallic layer. The at least one tab has a portion that extends past at least one sidewall of the container so that, during recycling, the at least one tab is pulled to remove the metallic layer from the frame. Examples of methods for manufacturing and recycling these containers are also described herein.
