Title: Decorative ornament and display box
Inventor: WALLING JAMES
IPC: B44F1/00
Filed: 1996-11-26
Abstract: A decorative ornament and supporting display box are disclosed.  The decorative ornament provides an elongate body of a thin sheet material having a covering of holographic  vinyl.    The  holographic  vinyl  has  the characteristic of refracting light into a rainbow-like display of colors.   The elongate body forms a spiral, having upper and lower ends that gently taper.  The body has been cut to provide a large number of very narrow radially directed slats having squared ends.  These slats provide a large number of planar surfaces each angled in a slightly different direction, which results in a more eye-catching display of color.  A multifaceted crystal made of glass or other transparent material is carried by the  bottom  of  the  elongate  body,  pulling  the  body downwardly in a manner that causes  it to be better displayed.  A short segment of transparent support line carries the top of the helix body, allowing it to spin if touched or in a breeze.  The support line is attached to a suction cup which may be attached to a window or other smooth surface.

Title: Frame based traffic policing for a digital switch
Inventor: HOOSHMAND KAMBIZ
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 1996-03-15
Abstract: A frame based traffic policing system that determines if incoming data cells are conforming or non-conforming according to the traffic contract. The frame based traffic policing system first detects a cell at the beginning or end of a frame and determines if the frame conforms with a traffic contract. If the cell does not exceed the parameters of the traffic contract, then the frame based traffic policing system deems the cell as conforming. If the cell was the first cell of a frame, then frame based traffic policing system treats all the remaining cells in the frame as conforming or non-conforming depending upon if the first data cell was conforming or non-conforming. If the cell was the last cell of a frame, then frame based traffic policing system treats all the cells of the following frame as conforming or non-conforming depending upon if the last cell of the previous frame was conforming or non-conforming. In this manner, all the data cells from the same frame receive the same treatment by the network. The framed based traffic policing system improves the throughput of the network since the network will be less likely to waste resources transmitting cells from a corrupted frame.

Abstract: A method for making electronic payments without a preexisting account relationship.  This system may be used by any person who has access to the system via a personal computer, such as through the Internet.  Access to the system may be provided through the system's own home page or by a system icon that is present on the home pages of the merchants who have elected the system as one of their payment options.  Once the system has been accessed by the user, the user will be able to select from a list of companies who have previously agreed to accept electronic funds transfers from the system as payments on their customer's accounts.  It is not necessary for the user to have previously established a relationship with the system provider in order to use the system to make payments on his accounts (although the system may record the user's personal data after first use in order to make subsequent uses more convenient).  The user may select whether he wishes to pay from his bank checking account, or through one of several credit cards.  After the selection, the user is prompted to input his bank account number or credit card account number information, as well as the amount he wishes to pay.  Once this information has been entered satisfactorily, the user selects a "send" icon, the data is encrypted and sent to the system central computer via the Internet.  The data remains in its encrypted form until it reaches the system's central computer.  The system's central computer determines if the entered information is valid (and may also obtain an authorization) and, if so, sends a receipt message which is displayed on the user's computer screen.  This receipt may be printed if the user desires to retain a hard copy verification of the transaction.
