Abstract: A billing service system and method in accordance with the invention includes a billing server (11), a payment system (17), a web site (28), a web browser (22) and a client program (25). The billing server generates invoices, captures and stores information relating to the generated invoices and store information on received payments. The payment system, a bank for example, receives payments (31) and notifies (32) the billing server of received payments. On the billing service provider's web site a client (18) enters billing information and can study his ledger. Billing information is sent from the client to the billing server in e-mail (24) or files over the Internet (12). The billing server connects to the Internet for the short periods during which it polls its Internet mailbox (27) or file-server and downloads received invoices. The billing server can be distributed over several processors that are interconnected by a data network.

Abstract: A process for the purification and isolation of a chemical compound, by extractive solution crystallization. The process comprises combining in any order a first solvent, a second solvent, and a mixture comprising a chemical compound with at least one impurity. The second solvent phase extracts impurities out of the first solvent, and keeps the impurities dissolved to avoid their co-crystallization with the phenyl ester salt. Once the chemical compound has crystallized out of solution, it is collected, washed and/or dried. The second solvent may be added after the mixture containing at least one chemical compound is dissolved in a first solvent, as long as the second solvent phase is added prior to the end of crystallization. Advantageously, this invention combines the previously distinct steps of extraction and crystallization in one unit operation. The process may be used with a variety of chemical compounds particularly, phenyl ester salts, including but not limited to sodium 4-sulfophenyl-6-[(1-oxynonyl)amino] hexanoate, sodium 4-(nonanoyloxy) benzenesulfonate, and sodium benzoyloxybenzenesulphonate.

Abstract: A compressible hearing aid includes an exterior deformable skin which bounds an internal region which is filled, at least in part, with an open-cell foam, the foam can be wrapped around or molded to contain an audio output transducer. The skin is not self-supporting and in response to applied forces from user's ear canal, the skin and the foam both deform and readily compress exhibiting a reduced volume. Though compressed, the foam exerts an outward force against the skin thereby continuing to form an elongated seal between the skin and the external periphery of the user's dynamically changing ear canal. As the volume of the ear canal increases, the skin and open-cell foam expand, exhibiting an increased internal volume, while maintaining a comfortable seal with the ear canal. A plurality of external ribs carried on the skin not only reduces feedback but promotes drying of the ear canal and promotes retention of the hearing aid in the ear canal.

Abstract: A lifting device for lifting elongate objects such as watercraft from trailers or the like to overhead storage positions has a plurality of individual lines passing over a plurality of pulleys generally configured in a rectangular shape and supported from an overhead support such as a ceiling. First ends of each of the individual lines are attached to slings underlying the watercraft. Second ends of the individual lines pass through gathering means along a longitudinal axis. A multiple purchase block and tackle system also runs along the longitudinal axis, and has first and second ends attached by a hauling line. The individual lines each have second ends attached to the first end of the block and tackle system, so that as the block and tackle first end is moved each of the individual lines is moved simultaneously and an equal distance. Uniform, mechanically advantageous lifting of the watercraft is thereby achieved by manipulation of a single hauling line.

Abstract: Disclosed is a sliding lock-on device for track-bound wheeled vehicles including a member (12) and a grounding pad (14). A first end (16) of the member (12) is configured to be connected to a guide frame (64) of a rail vehicle. The grounding pad (14) is attached to a second end (18) of the member. The grounding pad may be attached to the member in any location suitable for collecting ground from a guide beam (44) during use. A pair of lock-on devices is installed on the vehicle, such that one is located on each side of the guide beam. Since the lock-on device is attached to the guide frame (64) of the vehicle and engages the underneath of the guide beam (44), any force tending to tip the vehicle will cause the lock-on device to "grab" the guide beam. The relationship of the guide beam (44) and the grounding pad (14) prevents the vehicle from tipping. Thus, track jumping and roll over are inhibited. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention concerns a data processing system comprising a checker (MVE) between a main storage unit (MP) and the processor (PR) of the system to check the integrity of an code block (BC) transferred from the hard disc (DD) into the main storage unit (ME) and scanned therein under the control of the processor (PR) into a signature. The checker determines a signature (SGD) of the scanned block and compares it to a signature (SGM) which has been previously stored in association with the code block (BC) in the hard disc when an application (AP) was loaded. The scanned block is transmitted to the processor when all the signatures are equal. The previously stored signatures (SGM) are determined when the application is loaded from a soft disc (DS) into the hard disc, or developed and stored beforehand with the application code block in the soft disc.

A conduit is connected a coupling at one end of the tube and the part. Another coupling at an outer end of the radial bore connects to a source of hydraulic fluid under pressure so that the fluid can flow through the radial bore, annular compartment, and passage to the coupling at the one end of the tube and then through the conduit to the movable bearing part.
