A method for charging a payer for access, over a network, to a payee's information; in particular, a method for this pay-per-access over the Internet. The method uses an acquirer to intercept requests for information, process accounting information based on the payer having a signed, encrypted persistent dynamic data object available to the acquirer for inspection and modification. After using the persistent dynamic data object, similar in some respects to a so-called cookie, to collect payment for a page of pay-per-link information, the acquirer redirects the payer to the information at the payee's web site. The cookie-like object is issued to the payer by an issuer, which can be distinct from the acquirer. The cookie-like object can be used until its value is spent or until its lifetime elapses. Thus, a payer has a limited amount to spend without having to obtain authorization for each purchase, yet a payee does not risk a payer's double spending. Ultimately, the acquirer sends accounting records to the various issuers; each issuer settles with its various payers and, through the acquirers, also pays the payees.
1. A method of charging a payer for access, over a network, to at least one target page of information offered by a payee, comprising the steps of:
(1) having an issuer issue an intelligent cookie to the payer so as to allow the payer to pay for the target page, the intelligent cookie being implemented as a persistent data object and conveying a current purchasing power;
(2) having an acquirer reduce the purchasing power of the intelligent cookie by the cost of access to the target page after the payer exercises a pay-for link associated with the target page, the pay-for link for linking the payer to the acquirer and for passing an alias to the acquirer that identifies to the acquirer the target page location on the network by serving as an index into a secret means of cross-referencing aliases, used by the payee, to actual network addresses of pages of information to which the payee offers access, the means of cross-referencing being provided by the payee to the acquirer and maintained by the acquirer, the acquirer redirecting the payer to the target page based upon said alias in association with said cross-reference information mapping said alias to the target page;
wherein the intelligent cookie is a dynamic data object, not modifiable by a payer, but modifiable by the acquirer, and further wherein the alias to the target information does not by itself disclose the target information but must be used in combination with the means of cross-referencing the alias, which is made available by the payee only to the acquirer.
2. A method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising, before step (1), the step in which the acquirer checks to see if the payer has an intelligent cookie with sufficient purchasing power to purchase access to the associated information, and if not, the acquirer directs the payer to check in with the issuer to secure an intelligent cookie with sufficient purchasing power.
3. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the payer exercises a pay-for link through a human interface in which the payer clicks on the pay-for link.
4. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the payer uses an autonomous information search and retrieval engine to exercise a pay-for link.
5. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the network is the Internet, and wherein the payer, payee, and acquirer interface over the World Wide Web, and further wherein the actual network address of a page of information is the uniform resource locator (URL) of the page of information.
6. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the primary acquirer sets an ordinary cookie in the payer's computer indicating that all links by the payer are to be redirected to another acquirer.
7. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cross-reference information includes a reseller identification and a reseller percentage, and wherein whenever the payer or payer agent exercises the payee's pay-for link the acquirer compensates the identified reseller according to the reseller percentage.
8. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cross-reference information includes a reseller percentage, wherein the intelligent cookie includes a reseller identification, and wherein whenever the payer or payer agent exercises the payee's pay-for link the acquirer compensates the identified reseller according to the reseller percentage.
9. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the intelligent cookie further conveys as data fields:
a field variable indicating a timestamp;
a field variable indicating information about the payer, the payer's browser, and the payer's network connection;
a transaction number;
a field having a value for identifying the payer to the issuer; and
a field having a value for identifying the payee who owns the paylink most recently purchased by the payer.
10. The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the intelligent cookie is formed in the following steps:
(1) concatenating all the data fields to provide a concatenated data field iddata;
(2) enciphering iddata using a first cryptovariable k1 to provide an enciphered data object idcode;
(3) performing a hash of idcode using a second cryptovariable k2 and concatenating the result with idcode, according to: idcode|hash(idcode|k2);
wherein cryptovariable k2 is used to authenticate idcode.
11. A method of charging a payer for access, over a network, to at least one target page of information offered by a payee, comprising the steps of:
(1) having an issuer issue a purchasing power to the payer so as to allow the payer to pay for the target page;
(2) having an acquirer reduce the purchasing power by the cost of access to the target page after the payer exercises a pay-for link associated with the target page, the pay-for link for linking the payer to the acquirer and for passing to the acquirer an index into a secret means of cross-referencing such indices, created by the payee, to actual network addresses of pages of information to which the payee offers access, the means of cross-referencing being provided by the payee to the acquirer and maintained by the acquirer in such a way as to be associated with the payee, the acquirer redirecting the payer to the target page based upon using said index to determine an actual address of the target page;
wherein the purchasing power is a data object encoded so as not to be modifiable by a payer.
1. Technical Field
The present invention pertains to the field of charging a fee for information provided over a network. More particularly, the present invention pertains to a method of handling access to information over the Internet in a way that makes feasible a quite small charge per access, and does not require the payer to have an account with the information provider.
2. Description of Related Art
There are now a number of methods that have been proposed for handling what are termed micro-payments on the Internet, i.e. payments for purchases made over the Internet. Often, as here, the term micro-payment is specialized to refer to payment for information accessed over the Internet. The designation micro-payment is used to indicate that the cost of each purchase may be as low as a small fraction of the smallest denomination of scrip in many countries, e.g. a tenth of a US penny or less.
In a May, 1997, survey of sixteen methods providing for paying for access to information over the Internet, Chris A. Owen, in his article entitled, "Internet Micro-payment Protocols," describes how the existing methods make various compromises trying to satisfy the various conflicting goals of good security, high transaction volume capacity, low transaction cost, and high transaction speed. None are stated as having achieved a superior result in the mix of these goals because of the entities the methods employ, and the roles assigned to each entity.
What is still needed is a method of charging for each access to information in a way that is secure but fast, and that keeps overhead low. One way to do this is to distribute the work involved in providing the requested information, recording the accounting details of a purchase, and then settling between the payee and payer for the purchase.
The present invention is disclosed here using terminology that is the same as used in the survey article by Owen. The term issuer will indicate a service that manages a payer database. The term acquirer will indicate a network based service that manages pay-per-link transactions for one or more issuers. The term payer will indicate a network user, either a person or a computer program, that retrieves pay-per-link information from a network site. The term payee will indicate an owner or manager of network-accessible pay-per-link information.
The present invention is a bandwidth preserving method of providing for payment for information over a network using a distributed approach, in that aggregation of payments and the issuing of means of payment are performed by two separate entities: an acquirer and an issuer. In this approach the acquirer stores and retrieves sometimes encrypted information about a payer's account on the payer's machine.
The storing of information on a remote computer for various purposes including its later retrieval is old in the art; the information so stored is commonly referred to as a "cookie": a persistent data object of limited size and lifetime that can be retrieved by the server when the payer's browser visits the server again later. A cookie is said to be persistent in that it cannot be modified by the payer, only the server. More generally, a cookie is defined as any data object that can be transferred from server to client that the server can later retrieve and that the client cannot modify.
In the present invention, however, when a payer's browser retrieves a page from a server of either a payee or an acquirer via hypertext transfer protocol (http), the standard protocol used to retrieve and view Web documents, the server will often pass what is here called an intelligent cookie to the payer's browser, the intelligent cookie holding various dynamic information, including a limit to the spending of the cookie owner. The cookie is intelligent in that it is a signed, encrypted, persistent, dynamic data object, and is securely transferable and modifiable by various acquirers at different sites on the network (but not modifiable by payers).
In the present invention a payer, after being issued an intelligent cookie from an issuer, can purchase information from any payee who has an account with any compatible acquirer, i.e. one that cooperates with the issuer. It is by providing for automatic redirecting between different acquirers that the present invention allows for transactions to be handled by any compatible acquirer. Further, the present invention allows the payer to reuse a cookie until its purchasing power is depleted, or until the cookie is older than its allowed lifetime; this allowing for multiple bites of a cookie saves network resources, both communication bandwidth and data-access costs.
When a payer has an intelligent cookie and wants to make a pay-per-link purchase, he clicks on a pay-for link at the web site of a payee. The payee will have pre-configured the pay-for link to redirect the payer to the payee's acquirer. The acquirer will "nibble" the intelligent cookie, meaning that the acquirer will decode the object, extract the necessary accounting information about the payer, refer to a link reference page to get the information about the pay-per-link information the payer wants to purchase, record the transaction in an aggregation of transactions, depreciate the purchasing power of the object, recode it as an intelligent cookie, and reset it in the payer's browser. Then the acquirer will redirect the payer's browser to the pay-per-link information corresponding to the pay-for link the payer selected.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a consideration of the subsequent detailed description presented in connection with accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a transaction diagram for pay-per-access according to the present invention where the payer has an account with an issuer the acquirer uses too; and
FIG. 2 is a transaction diagram for pay-per-access according to the present invention where the payer does not have an account with an issuer the acquirer uses.
The preferred embodiment of the present invention is as a method for paying for access to information over the Internet via the World Wide Web (WWW or Web). The present invention, however, is suitable for use in any network. In particular, the present invention, because it relies only on network addresses, which exist in any network, is not restricted to use on a network that allows what on the Web are called browsers. Thus, the present invention can be used on the Internet with autonomous information search and retrieval engines, which do not use a human-interface browser.
Additional Terminology
In this description, a document is a page of information that a payee charges to access; and a document is located at a Web site, usually, but not necessarily, that of the payee charging for access to the document. A page at a Web site can bear information for which a charge is made, or can serve other purposes, such as presenting to a payer a menu from which to select a document.
In addition to the terminology specific to the present invention, this description uses some standard terminology associated with Web documents and transport protocols. Hypertext markup language (html) is a format used by most documents on the World Wide Web. A uniform resource locator (URL) is a Web address; it uniquely identifies the location of a particular document (information-bearing page) on the network. Hypertext transfer protocol (http) is the standard protocol used to retrieve and view Web documents. A common gateway interface (cgi) is a Web object that, when referenced, executes a program at a destination address and returns some data or a program-generated html document. An extended URL (also called a cgi-extended URL) is a Web address that is said to be extended because of having data used as input by a cgi program at a destination address. An example of an extended URL is
In the present invention, a payer uses an intelligent cookie to, pay for pay-per-link purchases. The term intelligent cookie is used here to refer to a persistent (not modifiable by a payer) dynamic data object that is authenticated, enciphered, and securely transferable among, and modifiable by multiple acquirers across a network. An intelligent cookie is securely transferable by virtue of the specific information it conveys and the format of this information. Most importantly for the present electronic banking application, the data and its format stored in an intelligent cookie of the present invention is particularized for chaining authorizations together without sacrificing security, thus bypassing traditional purchaser authorization.
An intelligent cookie encodes, among other data, an updated off-line credit limit--essentially the amount of money the payer can spend without having to get further authorization. This figure is adjusted downward (by an acquirer) each time the payer makes a purchase, until the intelligent cookie is fully eaten (has an off-line credit limit of essentially zero) or is stale (is older than an allowed lifetime). Additionally, in the present invention, this adjusting downward is done by possibly different acquirers as the payer moves from the Web site of one payee to that of another, who may use a different acquirer, but one that can still digest the intelligent cookie, i.e., is able to authenticate it, interpret it, and modify it.
Thus, the use of an intelligent cookie frees the issuer from making costly real-time accesses to its payer database. The ability of the payer's computer to accept and retain cookies can be a feature of a payer's browser in the case of use of the present invention on the Internet, or as part of some plug-in application in the case of either use on the World Wide Web, or more generally, as a feature of any interactive or autonomous program that seeks to retrieve information from another site on a communications network.
Setting Up Accounts and the Primary Acquirer
Referring now to FIG. 1, in the present invention, a payer 11 opens an account with an issuer 12 using for example a credit card to deposit some money into the account. A payee 14 opens an account with an acquirer 15, using some secure means, and provides the acquirer with the location of the information the payee wishes to sell, along with possibly some other data in connection with the pay-per-link information. The acquirer issues the payee a unique identification. At the payee's Web site, the payee then creates a link to the acquirer for each page of information the payee wants to sell access to; embedded in each link is data needed by the acquirer to determine what information the payee wants associated with the link. The payee can have accounts with other acquirers too, but need only direct links to one of the acquirers. The acquirer to which the links are directed is called here the primary acquirer.
The dashed rectangle 23 indicates a relationship between the payer 11 and the issuer 12. Dashed rectangle 21a indicates a relationship between the payer 14 and the acquirer 15; and dashed rectangle 22 indicates a relationship between the acquirer 15 and the issuer 12.
Besides a payee having an account with more than one acquirer, there are other one-to-many relationships possible according to the present invention. As already noted, an acquirer can acquire for more than one issuer, but in addition a given issuer may use different acquirers. This is because the issuers hold accounts of the payers and the acquirers hold accounts of only the payees, so it is useful for both issuers and acquirers to have a relationship with more than one of the other.
What is likely to develop in the practice of this invention is that payers will be most numerous. Next will be payees, then acquirers, and finally issuers. So almost every payer will have an account with one or more of only a few issuers. Also, most acquirers will do business with all issuers, although it is also likely that some acquirers will choose not to do business with some of the relatively few issuers.
Completing a Pay-For Link Transaction
Still referring to FIG. 1, when a payer 11 is connected to the Web site of a payee 14 and has decided to purchase pay-per-link information from that site, the payer will click on a link to the charged-for information. If the payer has not recently made a purchase, then the payer must check in with an issuer 12 with which the payer has a relationship. The payer is not required to check in as long as the payer has an intelligent cookie with some remaining purchasing power (not stale and not fully eaten), even if the payer has never visited the Web site before. Thus, nibbles from an intelligent cookie can be taken in succession by various acquirers 15, saving the payer's issuer from participating in every purchase of a page of information, and reducing the overhead of charging for a page of information.
Check-In Procedure
Sometimes, however, a payer will need a new intelligent cookie, and then check-in is required. Check-in is caused to occur when a payer who lacks an intelligent cookie clicks on a pay-for link at a payee's Web site; this will likely happen when a payer makes the first purchase of a day. The payee's link directs the payer to a primary acquirer 15 where the payer 11 is given the option of selecting from among several issuers that cooperate with that acquirer. The primary acquirer 15 then redirects the payer's browser to the check-in page at the selected issuer 12. There the payer checks in by providing authentication, such as a user name and password. The issuer then securely issues the payer's browser an intelligent cookie, signed (authenticated) by the payer 11. This intelligent cookie represents a certain amount of purchasing power, called here an off-line credit limit, that the payer can use without having to check in again, i.e. without having to have the credit checked on-line, as part of a purchase.
Link Purchasing Procedure
Now with a payer 11 (i.e., with either a payer's browser or another computer program of a payer) still connected to an acquirer 15 (i.e., to a server), the procedure that results in providing the requested pay-per-link information to the payer is executed. This procedure is executed regardless of whether the payer had to first check in. In this link purchasing procedure, first the acquirer gets the payer's intelligent cookie from the payer's browser and verifies its signature. The acquirer retrieves the address of the target information from a pay-per-link database it keeps locally. Next the acquirer updates the intelligent cookie to reflect the purchase, in particular, deducting the cost of the information from the off-line credit limit encoded in the cookie. Then the acquirer gives the intelligent cookie to the payer's browser and directs the browser to the target information. Finally, the acquirer records the details of the transaction.
Charging The Payer
Ultimately the acquirer 15 transmits the records for usually many transactions to each issuer. Then for each transaction, an issuer 12 adjusts the payer's account, usually charging the account for information, although sometimes crediting the account for one or another reason. Then the issuer adjusts the payee's account to correspond to the adjustment to the payer's account. Next, the issuer might credit a re-seller's account if the pay-per-link transaction is the result of a referral for which the payee has agreed to compensate the referrer. The settling up between an issuer 12 and a payer 11 is completed by the issuer sending the payer a payer settlement 8, indicating the balance of the payer's account, and requesting payment for any money owed.
Paying the Payee
In the preferred embodiment, still referring to FIG. 1, for a payee 14 to get paid for purchased information, an issuer 12, after providing a payer settlement order 8 to each payer 11, determines and provides a payee settlement order 9 to the acquirer 15 of each payee 14. The payee settlement will usually be a statement of the money to be paid each payee, along with that money in some commercial form. Sometimes, however, a payee settlement order will include a statement of money owed by a payee to a payer because of, for example, a refund.
Definition of the Intelligent Cookie
Some fields included in the intelligent cookie in the preferred embodiment are shown in Table 1. In particular, the purchasing power of an intelligent cookie is indicated by the value for the field named points. Each point is, in the preferred embodiment, a tenth of a US cent, and the value for the points field indicates the current off-line credit limit of the intelligent cookie, i.e., the points that the owner of an intelligent cookie can expend without having to check-in with an issuer for authorization during a purchase. An issuer keeps an account for a payer in what is here called a credit database, containing the total points a payer has on account with the issuer. When an issuer provides a payer with a new intelligent cookie, the issuer deducts points from the account kept in the credit database, if the account is adequate, or requires the payer to make other arrangements for paying for more points.
The time field of an intelligent cookie is used by an acquirer to determine when an intelligent cookie is stale and so cannot be processed. In the preferred embodiment, if the value of the time field indicates a time more than 24 hours ago, the intelligent cookie is deemed stale. Then a payer is directed to an issuer for a new intelligent cookie according to the check-in procedure described above.
TABLE 1______________________________________Some fields of an intelligent cookie.Field Description______________________________________time timestamp, GMT in microseconds.k1 32 hex digits (private cryptovariable)k2 32 hex digits (private cryptovariable)netcode a string of network-derived information about the payer, his browser, his Internet connection, and other data useful for detecting fraud.count transaction number (incremented at each purchase)payerid The payer's ID number at the issuer.merchid the payee ID number of the payee who owned the paylink most recently purchased by the payer.resellid the payee ID of the payee visited just prior to merchid.points number of spending-points available for immediate on-line- spending.

In terms of the fields shown in table 1, an intelligent cookie is defined as
where cryptovariable k2 is used to sign (authenticate) the idcode.
In the preferred embodiment, idcode is an encipherment, although encipherment is not necessary, but is recommended for maximum security. Any standard fast block cipher algorithm, such as RC5, can be used. Some means of providing a signature for each intelligent cookie is, however, critical to the present invention to guard against a payer altering the purchasing power of an intelligent cookie or counterfeiting. The preferred embodiment signature is based on hashing the idcode using a cryptovariable; for this, any standard fast hash algorithm, such as MD5, is adequate. In environments where guarding against payer misbehavior is less of a goal, however, an intelligent cookie can be unsigned.
By using an intelligent cookie to convey all necessary account information, an acquirer can process transactions entirely in software, and thus at high speed, since an acquirer has no immediate need to query or modify an issuer's credit database. In the preferred embodiment, to ensure long-term security, an issuer opens each day a secure communication with each acquirer and issues fresh cryptovariables k1 and k2.
Multi-Acquirer Transactions
Referring now to FIG. 2, when a payer 11 wants to purchase links from a payee 14 but the payee's links point to a primary acquirer 15a that does not cooperate with the payer's issuer 12, the payee's primary acquirer can offer to redirect transactions to a secondary acquirer 15b that does cooperate with the payer's issuer.
When such a payer 11 first attempts to purchase a link from a payee 14, the payee's primary acquirer 15a will be unable to process the transaction and will send the payer 11 to a Web page that gives the payer an opportunity to indicate an issuer 12 the payer uses. Then the primary acquirer 15a will give to the payer's browser an ordinary cookie, as opposed to an intelligent cookie, that identifies the secondary acquirer 15b. Next the primary acquirer 15a will redirect the payer's browser 11 to the secondary acquirer 15b. With this arrangement, each time a payer 11 attempts to purchase a link from a payee 14 who uses a primary acquirer 15a not affiliated with the payer's issuer 12, the primary acquirer 15a will see the redirecting cookie and redirect the link request to the secondary acquirer 15b.
In FIG. 2, the dashed rectangle 23 indicates a relationship between the payer 11 and the issuer 12. Dashed rectangle 21b indicates a relationship between the payer 14 and the primary acquirer 15a, and between the payer 14 and the secondary acquirer 15b; and dashed rectangle 22 indicates a relationship between the acquirer 15 and the issuer 12.
FIG. 2 indicates that, in the present invention, when a primary acquirer 15a must redirect requests to a secondary acquirer 15b, a protocol is used that is nearly the same as the protocol used in the case of a single acquirer. The protocols differ only in that in the multi-acquirer case, of those communications numbered 4 and higher that involve an acquirer, the secondary acquirer is involved; in addition, there are some further communications 2.1-2.3 not needed in the single-acquirer protocol.
Enabling Pay-Per-Links at a Payee's Web Page
Although there are many possible methods by which an acquirer can determine to what address on the network--called here a target address--to redirect a payer to access paid-for information, in the preferred embodiment an acquirer uses a link reference page, described below. More generally, however, a payee provides target addresses to an acquirer in advance; then the payee and acquirer agree on a public, indirect reference to the target information. The public reference may be simply some alias, i.e. a name, not an actual network address. Such a public reference is embedded in a pay-for link at the payee's site, and links a payer to the acquirer, who then translates the public reference into an actual network address, the target address. Then, after collecting payment using the payer's intelligent cookie, the acquirer redirects the payer to the target information using the target address.
The Link Reference Page--A Pre-Compiled Database
In the preferred embodiment, after establishing an account with an acquirer, a payee specifies, on a secret page called here a link reference page and stored at the acquirer's Web site, the address of each pay-per-link page of information for which the payee offers a pay-for link at the payee's Web site. Thus, the link reference page, which is therefore a pre-compiled database of the pay-per-link pages of the payee, holds the actual network address--the target address--of each pay-per-link page of information to which the payee sells access. The acquirer uses the link reference page when a payer clicks on a pay-for link at a payee's Web site indicating information he wants to purchase; then the acquirer refers to the link reference page to determine the target address to which to redirect the payer.
The (secret) link reference page is represented in a standard format that for each link specifies parameters the payee wants to associate with the link. As shown in table 2, in the preferred embodiment, the link reference page will include as parameters at least a cost for each target address/alias mapping. In the preferred embodiment, besides a cost, a link reference page could include as parameters for a link a reseller, a resell percentage, and a content warning.
TABLE 2______________________________________Tabular display of a link reference page with only cost as a parameterfor each target address/ alias mapping.Alias Cost URL (target address)______________________________________Daily News Cost = 80 URL = payeewebsite/dly.htmlSports Cost = 125 URL = payeewebsite/spr.htmlPicture1 Cost = 52 URL = payeewebsite/pix/tree.jpgPicture2 Cost = 55 URL = payeewebsite/puppies.gifPicture3 Cost = 36 URL = otherwebsite/photos/33.gif______________________________________
Syntax for Links to a Target Page
A pay-for link at a payee's Web site, which is intended ultimately to direct a payer to a pay-per-link page, first directs the payer to the payee's acquirer. Embedded in each pay-for link are at least two data fields: a payee identification, and the same alias for the target that is used on the link reference page. A pay-for link at a payee's Web site might be constructed as:
With this link, a payer would first be linked to the acquirer at www.acquirer.com; then the acquirer would direct the payer to a pay-per-link page with alias "picture3" at a cost of 36 points.
Updating a Link Reference Page
In the preferred embodiment, each payee keeps a copy of the payee's link reference page information to update as desired. To change the payee's link reference page information held by the acquirer, a payee simply embeds a refresh command in an appropriate pay-for link. This prompts the acquirer to retrieve the amended payee's link reference page information at the payee's web site.
It is to be understood that the above-described arrangements are only illustrative of the application of the principles of the present invention. In particular, the present invention is not restricted to using an intelligent cookie with a payer's browser. The present invention encompasses using an intelligent cookie stored anywhere on a payer's computer, allowing pay-per-link information access without the usual browser human interface. Numerous other modifications and alternative arrangements may be devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and the appended claims are intended to cover such modifications and arrangements.

As the physical limits of integrated circuits currently made of silicon transistors are reached, LEAST researchers are looking to replace conventional 3-D silicon with nanoscale substances that increase the speed of computing done in electronics while also using less energy. Integrated circuits are used in nearly all modern electronics, such as computers, cellphones and tablets.
The UT Dallas LEAST team, which will receive about $3.4 million over five years, will explore a 2-D class of materials known as dichalcogenides, which are atomically thin but allow electrical current to be controlled as it moves through the material.
"The key for future transistor applications will be combining these 2-D materials with other types of materials such as insulators and metals used in integrated circuits to find the most powerful and efficient combination," Wallace said.
The UT Dallas team is conducting research on the interfaces of these materials.
"The ability to control the surfaces and interfaces in these types of material systems is the most important aspect of future device operations."
Besides conducting research in LEAST, Wallace, holder of the Erik Jonsson Distinguished Chair, is also a center coordinator. His previous discovery that hafnium silicates and oxides could be used in transistors to enable smaller nanoscale devices revolutionized the computer industry. Hafnium-based transistors are now used in processor chips in desktop and laptop computers, iPads and cellphones.
Cho is an expert in multiscale computer modeling related to new materials, and Kim is an expert in nanoscale electron microscopy advanced techniques that allow atom-to-atom modeling and chemical mapping of materials. The team will use this expertise in the surface and interface studies.
The world-class facilities housed in the $85 million Natural Science and Engineering Research Laboratory (NSERL) are an important factor in wha

Gear Review
Kevin R.
I have bigger feet, anywhere from a size 12.5-13.5 in regular running and hiking shoes. This makes it hard to find a climbing shoe that fits well, especially with a larger forefoot. And even more difficult to find an aggressive or high performance shoe. I have played in many different shoes and recently climbed a few sessions in the Shaman's from Evolv, and while I loved the shoe and its features, it just wasn't fitting, even when I tracked down the 13.5. Now, this shoe is as comfortable as any shoe I have ever worn, its fit is like a glove and the new material in the upper stretches perfectly for a nice snug fit without becoming misshapen or sloppy. The SciFri 3.0 rubber is like glue for your foot and despite its softer sole it sticks to everything and holds on the smallest of edges. They are snug but easy on and off at the gym and the crag with the pull loops and three strap side entry set up. And the heel hooks and toe jams are as good as any shoe out there. Highly recommended for the hard to fit crowd and anyone looking to find comfort and preference in the same shoe for once.

This article has been archived. It is offered "as is" and will no longer be updated.
The creation, modification, and deletion of messages in public folders that have many thousands of messages may appear slow.
The Exchange Server information store maintains data for every client regarding the read or unread status of every message. This per-user read/unread processing can cause operations to appear slow when the number of messages in the public folder is very large.
To work around this problem, create a hierarchy of folders to distribute the messages so that fewer messages are in each folder.
Microsoft recognizes the need for disabling per-user read/unread processing for specific folders in certain circumstances. We have modified Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 so that it is possible to programmatically disable this processing on a particular folder.
To obtain this feature, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server version 5.5. For more information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
(https://support.microsoft.com/kb/191014/EN-US/ )XGEN: How to Obtain the Latest Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack

Disabling per-user read/unread processing for a folder causes the state of read/unread properties to become inconsistent for objects in the folder. This inconsistency may cause confusion among users who expect that they can influence the read/unread state of a message.
To disable per-user read/unread processing for a public folder, a new MAPI folder property has been created. The new property has the following definition and will eventually be added to the EDKMDB.H header file included in the Microsoft Platform SDK. Until such time, you must add the property definition manually in your source code.
Set this property to a non-zero value (TRUE) on the public folder for which you want to modify per-user read/unread processing.

SOUTH COVENTRY Ś A 72-year-old man who shot and killed a neighborÆs two family dogs in February appeared in district court Wednesday as about 15 police officers stood guard outside.
Gabriel Pilotti, of the Chester Springs section of West Vincent Township, waived a preliminary hearing on charges of animal cruelty and recklessly endangering another person stemming from an incident on Feb. 12. On that day, police said Pilotti shot and killed two Bernese Mountain Dogs who had escaped a nearby neighborÆs yard and wandered onto his property.
Pilotti, who appeared in court with his attorney Thomas H. Ramsay of West Chester, did not speak as Magisterial District Judge James V. DeAngelo quickly moved through the procedures of waiving the preliminary hearing.
DeAngelo ruled that Pilotti will remain free on $10,000 unsecured bail on the condition that he maintains contact with the bail agency and has no contact with the owners of the slain dogs.
About 15 law enforcement officers from various county and state agencies stood guard in and outside of the court in response to death threats that Pilotti received after the incident gained widespread media coverage.
Mary Bock, who owned the dogs with her husband and five children, also attended the procedure along with several friends and supporters.
ōItÆs the first step of many, weÆre more anxious to get to the next step. This was just something we felt we had to do. I thought it was important to be here for the dogs and to show that weÆre serious about this,ö Bock said. ōMore than anything itÆs about setting a precedent for the future so this doesnÆt happen again. Maybe if something good comes out of this that will help with passing some new laws.ö
State Sen. Andrew Dinniman, D-19th of West Whiteland, has already proposed two bills to modify existing state dog laws in response to the February shooting. DinnimanÆs planned bills would amend the Pennsylvania Dog Law to better clarify the section that explains when a person is permitted to shoot a dog on their property. DinnimanÆs bill would prohibit a person from shooting a dog if they are simply ōpursuingö another animal. Instead the killing of dogs would be permitted only if the animal is demonstrating an ōapparent intent to harm.ö
Tom Hickey, a member stateÆs Dog Law Advisory Board, also attended ThursdayÆs proceeding with Bock. He said in addition to DinnimanÆs bills, there are other efforts underway that would increase the penalty in similar incidents in the future.
ōUnfortunately weÆve seen more and more of this in the last couple of years, especially in Chester County weÆre seeing more incidents of animal abuse, and we have to make sure that keep in line with the times. Some of the laws protecting pets are outdated and need to be looked at,ö Hickey said. ōOne of the things weÆre looking for is to increase the penalties in these horrific situations to the felony level.ö
The dogs, 1-year-old Fiona and 2-year-old Argus, were killed with a shotgun after they escaped from their fenced-in yard in the unit block of St. Anthony Lane. The Bock family, the dogsÆ owners, said they got out of the yard through a hole in a fence caused by a falling tree limb. The family was not aware of the fenceÆs damaged section because it was not visible from the home, Mary Bock said.
Investigators originally determined the shooting was legal when Pilotti told police that the dogs were chasing his sheep. But as more details emerged, officials said it became clear that PilottiÆs original story was not accurate.
In a second interview Pilotti told police that he shot first at Argus while the dog was slowly trotting toward him. The dog was shot in the head and immediately fell dead to the ground. Pilotti then reloaded his shotgun and fired at the female dog, Fiona, while she was running away from him and the sheep, according to a criminal complaint filed by police.
Pilotti did not speak to the media outside of district court Thursday, but his attorney repeated earlier statements claiming that an apology had been sent to the Bock family through the Chester County District AttorneyÆs Office.
But Mary Bock said that she and her family have never received such an apology, other than what they saw through various media outlets. Bock explained Thursday that ten days passed before the Feb. 12 incident received media attention, but claimed Pilotti never reached out to her family.
ōHe had all that time to apologize, to reach out to us. For those first ten days he made no attempt to apologize or show remorse, nothing. I feel like at this point an apology would only be for the media and for himself, it wouldnÆt be for us,ö Bock said. ōIf he had handled this whole thing differently we probably wouldnÆt be here. He missed the opportunity.ö
PilottiÆs charges will now move on to the Chester County Court of Common Pleas.

A few days ago, the operational Commercial Multispectral Infrared Countermeasure (C-MUSIC) "Sky Shield" was installed on an Israeli passenger aircraft.
It took too long while the threat became more and more imminent, but after a long process that was slowed by almost every bureaucratic hurdle in the book, it is finally happening.
Following a successful ground test earlier this year, and after processing data collected from a system installed on an EL AL passenger aircraft, the green light was given for the installation of the series production systems.
The installation was approved by the Israeli civil aviation authority, and is being performed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI).
The threat of man-portable air defence systems (MANPADS) has grown considerably over the last few years. Elbit Systems' C-MUSIC technology is a family of directed infrared countermeasures (DIRCM) for protecting aircraft against heat-seeking ground-to-air missiles.
According to the Israeli company, these systems integrate advanced fibre laser technology with a high-rate thermal camera and a small, dynamic mirror turret to provide effective, reliable and affordable protection to all types of aircraft, under all operational conditions.
The initial detection of incoming threats is provided by a missile warning system. When a threatening missile is detected the warning is passed to the DIRCM, which then directs a thermal tracker to acquire and track the threat. A powerful laser beam is then fired accurately at the missile, causing it to be deflected away from the aircraft.
Twelve years after terrorist launched a MANPAD in the direction of an Israeli passenger aircraft in Kenya – and missed – the installation of a protection system is finally under way.

LED lighting update
LED the basics
LEDs or light emitting diodes are highly energy efficient. LEDs have been around for decades, first commercially used in panel lights. Appearing as practical electronic components in 1962, early LEDs emitted low-intensity red light, but modern versions are available across the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared wavelengths, with very high brightness.
They can have long life – lasting up to 50,000hrs. This equates to 50 times the average incandescent lamp (at 1000hrs) and up to 5 times the life of most fluorescent lamps (at 10,000hrs)....more about this
Ceiling fan innovation
Ventalux Bathroom exhaust fans
Why should I install an exhaust fan?
Bathrooms, laundries and kitchens are particularly prone to moisture problems caused by high humidity. Every time you run hot water, you create steam. That steam penetrates every crevice, and soon cools down and turns to water resulting in condensation. This feeds mold, mildew and even in some cases can contribute to structural rot....more about this

LED friendly TIGER
The TIGER transformer is "LED FRIENDLY". It has been designed to work with 12v MR16 LED lamps as well as conventional halogen lamps.
MR16 LED lamps are designed for use with MOST 12v electronic transformers, not all. They work better with some than others.
12v Electronic transformer are generally rated at "20-60vA" and are designed for use with halogen MR16 lamps from 20 to 50 watts. If you apply a load lower than 20w they generally don't work (they need at least 20vA of load to work).
To overcome this the MR16 LED lamp has circuitry inside it to "trick" a 20-60vA transformer into thinking it draws enough current and the transformer works, providing sufficient current to operate the lamp....more about this

By the use of well designed lighting you can create a house around your lifestyle that is a functional as it is beautiful. Lighting can be used to accentuate or highlight areas of a room, or to provide illumination for general tasks. It is important to consider your lighting design. Lighting should not just happen.
When planning a room, ask yourself this question:
"Should the lighting in this room be functional or decorative or both?"...
Lighting has 3 Basic Functions
It provides general of background lighting in room;
As task lighting, which provides specific light for activities such as reading or cooking. This type of light should be concentrated in the area where it is needed;

Love one another. Love yourself. Then love will find you whole not half." K. Taylor
Thanks for checking out my profile! I am sweet, friendly, down-to-earth and love to stay active here in San Diego. I'm up for everything from surfing, hiking, yoga, boot camp, SUP or anything else that is fun and outdoors. I love the beach, if you couldn't tell ;) On the weekends I love to dance, hear live music and hang out with my friends. I am a good cook (if I say so myself haha) and enjoy trying out healthy new recipes. I am close with my family, and would like to find someone with similar values who also enjoys travel and trying new things as much as I do. My life has been pretty amazing so far, and I try to give back as often as I can. I volunteer on a regular basis with a local organization that assists refugees and contribute to other charities. This past year I have been all over the U.S. for work and fun, some of my favorite cities are San Fran, Austin, NYC, Vegas and Honolulu. Coming up I am headed to Thailand for a month of volunteer work, and would like to go to Africa after that. If you are also down-to-earth, active and adventurous I would love to hear from you!

Press Release from Yahoo! - June 13, 2005
Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex Celebrates Its One Millionth Athlete
Thirteen-Year-Old Desirre Wilkerson of Louisville, Ky., Honored in Special Ceremony at AAU Jr. National Volleyball Championships in Orlando
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla., June 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Eight-and-a-half years and more than a thousand events since Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex officially opened on March 28, 1997, the 220-acre sports complex at Walt Disney World Resort welcomed its One Millionth Athlete on Monday. Desirre Wilkerson (Louisville, Ky.), a 13-year-old girls' volleyball player from the Kentucky Indiana Volleyball Academy (KIVA), was officially honored as the One Millionth Athlete.
Wilkerson and her teammates from the KIVA Red 13-and-Under girls' volleyball squad participated in a morning ceremony at registration for the 32nd Annual AAU Junior Volleyball National Championships. When the team arrived at the sports complex, they were greeted by representatives of Disney Sports Attractions, including former National Football League players Reggie Williams and Kellen Winslow, the vice president and director of planning & new event development, respectively. Amateur Athletic Union President/CEO Bobby Dodd and AAU National Volleyball Chair Roger Goudy also participated, along with former U.S. Women's Basketball Olympian and WNBA player Cynthia Cooper, who was already visiting the Disney resort and agreed to be part of the festivities.
As the One Millionth Athlete at Disney's Wide World of Sports, Wilkerson received a special globe-shaped trophy. She and her teammates also received One Millionth Athlete t-shirts and picture frames to commemorate the occasion. The nine-player girls' squad then helped unveil a special "One Million Athletes" banner, which was raised to the rafters of the Milk House, the 5,500-seat indoor arena at the sports complex which hosts this week's AAU Junior National Volleyball Championship (June 13-19) and many other Disney Sports events throughout the year.

Comments about Womens Mizuno Wave Sayonara Running Shoe:
I alternate my running (5-19 miles) between two different brands of shoes. I like the Sayonaras for their lightness and the way they have changed my stride to a more forefoot landing. I use these on long training runs and marathons.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

|Instructor Info:
|Fritha Pengelly
|Meeting Info:
|An experiential introduction to dance as a performing art, this class will explore how the fabric of dance is interwoven with social dance, political movements, cultural bias, and personal experience. Like all forms of art and expression, dance is created within social, political, and cultural context, and the historical developments of dance are tied as much to particular time periods as they are to masterful choreographers and performers. Course work will include regular movement sessions, experiments in improvisation and choreography, physical explorations of choreography by master choreographers such as Vaslav Nijinsky, Yvonne Rainer, and Doug Elkins, video viewings, and reading and discussion of dance history and relevant social, political, and cultural events. Students will gain a broad understanding of dance within its historical context and explore their personal connection to body and expression. No previous dance training is required.

The following Part 3 of the August 26, 2014 Relevant Radio Q&A on New Job Salary Negotiation with Glen Lewerenz and Tracey. Tune in 6a PST 9a EST @relevantradio -
Dr. Wilen is on a corporate speaking tour on the topic of 21st Century Careers and can be reached traceywilen.com, @traceywilen or FB Dr.TraceyWilen
Today's topic concludes : New Job Salary Negotiation
Can I create power for myself?
Yes you need to have an asset that a firm needs. Here are three examples. You would need proof of this and references.
Do you have?
· A key proven skill- web marketing, programming, data analysis, you tube genius (Technology)
· Key desired experience- start up, downsize, grow (Operations)
· Network- you know people and can expand business quickly (Sales)
Question: Can I create salary negotiating power for myself?
Yes. This is part of the preparation. Let say you have been in a firm for a long time and you are a specialist. You are interviewing with another firm, a competitor say for a similar or better job. Since you have been locked into a salary range for some time you may not actually know your worth. This is tricky as you don't want to come in under or over. This is where I suggest that you use the salary data to help you assess your current salary and you're asking salary.
For example maybe you are working in firm that makes up a salary difference with stock options but gives you a very low base but the new firm does not offer stock options so you will need to assess properly your worth. It is worth your while to know the going rate for the job and then build from that.
Question: If I were to ask for something what would it be?
Good question. Many firms have very fixed programs in terms of health benefits, commuting, vacation, and stock options. The signing bonus might be the most flexible ask that you have. Of ten that cash may not come out of HR but rather the business unit's budget. A sign on bound is a cash amount that could help close the difference in the first year of what you hoped to get vs what the firm can offer.
Question: What happens next?
· Don't notify your job or stop your job search until the deal is in writing and signed by both parties.
· Agree on a start date respecting the facts that you may need to give 2 weeks+ notice at your current job.
· Evaluate all vacation commitments that you may have and discuss these in advance so that is part of the sign on and does not put you into a vacation deficit.
· Announce your job via linked in after you start not before.
Question: How should I act during a salary discussion?
· Calm, professional and prepared
· Polite communication, Persistent
· Listen, patient, ask questions to understand and show interest and excitement.
