Filed:

Aug 17, 1998

Appl. No.:

09/135347

Inventors:

LISA DONLAVAGE - Parker CO, US
Douglas Swanson - Englewood CO, US

Assignee:

FIRST DATA CORPORATION

International Classification:

G06F017/60

US Classification:

705/019000

Abstract:

A method for providing tax payment data from a remote end user workstation to a tax collection system host connected to the end user workstation by a server includes displaying available taxing authorities to a user at the end user workstation. One of the available taxing authorities is then selected at the end user workstation. Tax payment data is then input to the end user workstation. The tax payment data is then transmitted to the server. The tax payment data is then processed at the server to determine if the tax payment data is formatted properly. If the tax payment data is formatted properly, then the tax payment data is transmitted to the host. A message response indicative of the acceptance or rejection of the tax payment data is then transmitted from the host to the client station via the server.

Abstract:

A device for absorbing the energy of vibration of one of two abutting members which has begun to vibrate due to forces applied to either of the two abutting members, so as to reduce the frequency and magnitude of vibration of one of the two abutting members. The primary energy absorbing element is a piece of elastomeric resilient material which contains a core (or cores) of a substantially incompressible, highly efficient dampening material; the presence or absence of this core of highly efficient dampening material will depend upon desired device stiffness and dampening characteristics. The primary energy absorbing element is surrounded by a flexible reinforced shell which contains and restrains said element, yet allows said element to deform in the transverse and vertical directions. Two end pieces or mounting plates are secured to opposite ends of the primary energy absorbing element.
