摘要:
Under the present invention, a customized contract is created based on the needs of the parties and is then stored within a secure computer infrastructure. Security within the computer infrastructure is typically provided through encryption such as 128 bit encryption. Moreover, all actions taken with respect to the contract (e.g., approval, execution, etc.) occur within the infrastructure and are recorded so that a record can be provided. Any party taking action will first be authenticated before access to the infrastructure is granted. In order for the contract to be electronically executed, both the originating contract partner and the receiving contract partner must first deliberately approve the contract. Once approval has been obtained, the contract can be electronically executed by both parties. After execution is complete, a final image of the contract is generated that includes the electronic signatures and the date of execution.
摘要:
Under the present invention, contract information corresponding to a first contract between a first contract partner and a customer, and contract information corresponding to a second contract between a second contract partner and the customer is received within a secure computer infrastructure. Based on the contract information, the first and second contracts are created. To provide desired isolation and security, the second contract is secured to prevent access thereof by the first contract partner. Then, approval and execution for both contracts is requested from the appropriate parties.

Some embodiments provide a fishing lure that increases the ratio of positive hook settings by moving a hook along a hook set pathway within the mouth of a fish when a fishing line to which the hook is attached is pulled taught. The fishing lure comprises a lure body and a hook with an attached retaining bead. The retaining bead holds the hook inside the fishing lure's hook pocket until sufficient force is applied to the fishing line and hook while a counterforce is applied to the lure body. In some embodiments, the lure body is a soft plastic artificial fishing lure body. Upon setting the hook, the hook moves up out of and away from the lure body, and therefore is not obstructed by the lure body.
