Title: System and method of marketing products and services through third party agent
Inventor: BIERMAN CHRISTOPHER GEORGE
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2004-09-28
Abstract: A moving and storage company (30) uses a dealer website to assist with the marketing of products and services through an independent dealer (34). The information related to the inventory of products and services is stored on a central database. The website provides access for the independent dealer to review the inventory information. The dealer uses a first computer system (26) to access the inventory information. An item of the inventory is selected according to customer (36) selection criteria.

Abstract: An absorbent paper sheet is treated with an aqueous wax dispersion such that the sheet includes a fused wax and emulsifier residue in an amount of from about 1 to about 20 weight percent of the sheet based on the combined weight of the fiber, wax residue and an emulsifier residue in the sheet. The fused wax emulsion operates to make at least one surface of the sheet laterally hydrophobic, exhibiting a moisture penetration delay of at least about 2 seconds and less than about 40 seconds as well as a typical contact angle wi th water at one minute of at least about 50 degrees. There is thus provided absorbent products which exhibit both absorbency and resistance to moisture penetration. The treated sheet further exhibits microbial barrier properties , impeding transfer of bacteria, for example, through the sheet. There are produced tissue products which resist moisture penetration from propelled liquids as well as sequester sorbed liquids in the interior of the tissue.</ SDOAB>
