20080279671 | PAPER PICK WITH MECHANICAL REFERENCE - A picking mechanism may include a mechanical reference system for establishing the approximate number of sheets that will be “picked” from a larger stack each time the picking process occurs. A pick moves toward the stack of paper to insert itself between two sheets of paper at a level in the stack that is determined by the place the pick resides relative to the stack. In the preferred embodiment, the pick resides at said position because it is positioned at a adjustably fixed relationship to a reference member and the reference member rests on the top of the stack of paper when the pick is in a retracted position. Thus, the vertical distance between the reference member (and the top of the stack) and the point (edge) of the pick determines how many sheets will be picked at a time. Once the picking occurs, the user may easily grasp and remove the picked stack for further handling, and, with preferably with a “flick” of the handle or a quick holding of the handle in a position that retracts the pick from the vicinity of the stack, the picking unit is free to move/slide down toward the new, shorter stack so that the reference member again rests on top of the stack, and the process may start all over again. | 11-13-2008 |

20100312682 | Consumption Investment System - A consumption investment system permits consumers to deposit value corresponding to their consumables in an investment consumable account as principal, and accrue benefits based on the principal. As with a bank account, the accrued benefits may be based on an interest rate or market valuations, and the consumer may withdraw the accrued benefits based on terms of a contract. Many types of consumable investment instruments may be used much like other types of investments. For example, mutual consumable funds may be established where values of consumables of many participants are pooled, and participants may receive benefits based on corresponding contributions. Consumers that invest in a particular fund (or other consumable investment such as a bank consumable account) may build natural interest and loyalty to the particular fund such as occurs with financial mutual funds. In this way, consumer loyalty may be engendered toward suppliers of consumable items based on capital already invested in the suppliers by way of consumable accounts such as consumable deposits or mutual consumable funds. | 12-09-2010 |
