Abstract:

A hollow breakable object having a first shell section and a second shell section encapsulating a novelty item when the shell sections are affixed to each other. The sections are typically affixed by press-fitting, gluing, or taping the sections together. When the sections are affixed, they form a hollow shell, typically in an egg shape, having an enclosed internal chamber. The hollow shell may also have a scoring providing a convenient predefined break point on the object. Affixed to or incorporated as part of the interior of each section is an internal support structure to provide padding support to the novelty item. A coating is applied to the exterior of the affixed sections to form a breakable and dye absorptive surface of the object. The coating is made of either gypsum, limestone, silicate or a combination thereof and is advantageously capable of absorbing conventional egg dye. Additionally, the object is biodegradable.

Abstract:

A system for reconciling a group of electronic transactions comprising a memory configured to store transaction information associated with a group of scheduled electronic transactions. The transaction information includes an end time for the group of scheduled transactions. The memory also stores transaction information associated with executed electronic transactions. The system further comprises a first interface configured to receive, from a first user, information associated with the group of scheduled transactions; and a second interface configured to receive, from a second user, information associated with the executed transactions. The system further comprises a processor communicably coupled to the memory, the first interface, and the second interface. The processor determines that the end time for the group of scheduled transactions has passed; compares the executed transactions with the group of scheduled transactions to determine a set of fulfilled transactions; and generates a request for payment fulfillment for the fulfilled transactions.
