International Classification:

G09G 310

US Classification:

3151691, 313495

Abstract:

A field emission display ( ) includes a cathode assembly ( ), an anode plate ( ), and a spacer ( ), which extends between the cathode assembly ( ) and the anode plate ( ). The spacer ( ) is comprised of a spacer material having a dielectric constant less than 100. A discharging period neutralizes positive electrical charge ( ) and renders the spacer ( ) invisible to a viewer of the field emission display ( ). Operating a field emission display ( ) to render a spacer ( ) invisible by providing a cathode, assembly ( ), an anode plate ( ), and a spacer ( ) comprised of a spacer material with a dielectric constant less than 100 and neutralizing positive electrical charge ( ) on spacer ( ).

International Classification:

G06F 1730

US Classification:

707 10, 7071041, 705 8

Abstract:

The disclosed invention uses an event manager, an events database, and a personal computing device to provide investor relations event scheduling. The event manager includes a web server, a scripting engine, and scripts for receiving event information. The personal computing device and event manager are preferably implemented in a client-server architecture on an electronic network such as the Internet. The personal computing device includes a web browser and electronic mail for user interaction. The database stores events and maintains a watchlist of organizations for each user. The event manager detects schedule conflicts between a proposed new scheduled event and each existing event for each organization listed on the watchlist and transmitting a conflicts notification. Override of schedule conflicts is permitted to allow scheduling of an event when conflicts are acceptable. An event report is transmitted to each user associated with the organization with which the new scheduled event is associated.

US Classification:

707 10, 7071041, 707513

Abstract:

An information release notification is provided using an event manager, reports, information notification messages, an investor events database, and a personal computing device. The personal computing device and event manager are preferably implemented in a client-server architecture providing electronic messaging and web pages over an electronic network such as the Internet. The events manager receives new information releases from an external information service over the network. Information releases are stored in the investor events database and reviewed by the events manager for the occurrence of identifier symbols that uniquely correspond to a particular organization. The investor events database also includes information interest lists to associate notified users with a particular identifier symbol. When the event manager detects an identifier symbol contained on an information interest list, the event manager automatically transmits a converted information notification message to the personal computing devices of each interested user.

Abstract:

An event scheduling and information release notification system and method that includes an event manager, reports, information notification messages, an investor events database, and a personal computing device. The event manager further includes a web server, a scripting engine, and scripts. The personal computing device and event manager are preferably implemented in a client-server architecture for transmitting and receiving electronic messages and serving worldwide web pages over an electronic network such as the Internet. Users interact with the system by using the web browser enabled and electronic mail enabled personal computing device. The events manager receives new information releases from an external information service using an electronic network. Each received information release is stored in the investor events database and reviewed by the events manager for the occurrence of one or more identifier symbols that uniquely correspond to a particular organization. The investor events database also includes information interest lists to associate one or more notified users with a particular identifier symbol. When the event manager detects an identifier symbol contained on an information interest list, the event manager automatically transmits a converted information notification message to the personal computing devices of each interested of notified user.
