A system and method for verifying, authenticating, and providing notification of a transaction, such as a commercial or financial transaction, with and / or to at least one party identified as engaging in the transaction and / or identified as having a potential interest in the transaction or type of transaction, are provided. A central system accepts information regarding a transaction, including information about at least one party identified as engaging in the transaction, such as by a credit account number or Social Security number or merchant account number, and / or identified as having a potential interest in the transaction. Based on the information regarding the transaction and any supplemental information the central system determines, the central system communicates with and / or to at least one party and / or additional or alternative parties, via at least one communications device or system having a communications address, such as a telephone number or Short Message Service address, predetermined as belonging to the at least one party and / or additional or alternative parties. Via said communications, at least one party having an interest or a potential interest in the transaction may be notified of it, and may further be enabled or required to supply additional verifying or authenticating information to the central system. If the transaction was initiated or engaged in via a communications link, such as via the Internet, said communications preferably occur over at least one different communications link and / or protocol, such as via a wireless voice network. The central system may then compute a result based on the outcomes of said communications, and may then transmit the result to the user and / or to a second system or device.

A multipurpose brush mechanism featuring an attachment and retainer mechanism to provide ease of use and effective storage for professional painters and consumers alike. The attachment mechanism includes an embedded hook which may be removably attached and may utilize numerous clip mechanisms and magnetic attraction members. The brush functions as an ordinary paint brush but the magnetic attachments allow it hang inside a paint can, or on any other accessory. The multifunctional hook can also allow for easy storage when the project is completed.

A seal-bearing assembly to be inserted into the seal cavity of a mechanical device to provide a seal and a bearing surface to eliminate whip in a rotating and / or reciprocal cylindrical member. The seal-bearing assembly is particularly well suited for use in a reciprocal pump or a piston-driven valve, or between the steam lance and fixed steam tube in a sootblower. The assembly includes at least a pair of outer substantially rigid cylindrical bearings having an inner bore to be positioned over the cylindrical member and at least one complimentary flexible textile packing ring substantially comprised of carbon disposed between the two outer bearing members. In assemblies including an additional bearing, the additional bearing is surrounded by at least one flexible packing on each side. The inner bore of the bearing members provides a bearing surface for eliminating whip of the moving elements in the device.

A method for controlling the transmission timing of a radio link on an air interface between a radio terminal and a radio access node, in a radio access node adapted to transmit a plurality of radio links to a radio terminal with substantially simultaneous transmission timings, is disclosed. It is determined whether predetermined conditions are met so that a substantially simultaneous transmission of a first and second radio links to said radio terminal can be selected. Responsive to this determination, a substantially simultaneous transmission of the first and second radio links is selected.
