Paging system for queue management

A pager or other wireless communication device is used to keep participants of a queue informed of remaining wait time. An estimate of wait time is generated by a host management application using information concerning availability of a resource, for example, restaurant tables. The wait time is transmitted to each respective pager within the transmitting range of a base station. For positions high in the queue, a chit bearing an estimated return time may be issued in lieu of a pager. The chit may be returned in exchange for a pager after the return time has passed. Advertising messages may also be transmitted to the pagers, and one or more games may be played using the pagers. Pagers may be at least partially disabled when out of range of a transmitter base station.

Enhanced fusing of raised toner using electrography

Printing of information with a distinct tactile feel can be accomplished by electrographic techniques. Such electrographic printing includes electrographic printing of raised images to selected areas of a receiver member using electrographic techniques so that they are fixed according to the properties of the raised print such as according to the mass per unit area or toner height. In one embodiment, by slowing down the process speed of the fuser to allow for a longer dwell so that the large toner particles and / or toner mass needed to make raised image will properly adhere to the print media without artifacts. To keep the energy requirements and the cost of the equipment down a speed switching technique is used that slows the process speed of the fuser so that the raised image is properly fused on a wide range of paper types.

Support bracket to suspend sheet material for a wall

A bracket has outwardly projecting support arms for use in installing a panel of sheet material, such as drywall or sheet rock, on a wall frame. The bracket has a base with one or more through-holes for temporarily attaching the bracket to a vertical stud of the wall frame. The support arms of the bracket extend horizontally from the bracket to support the lower edge of a panel of sheet material. By using a pair of brackets, an installer can position and support a large panel of sheet material at an elevated pre-assembly location on the wall frame without the help of an assistant. After the brackets have been attached to the wall frame, a panel of sheet material is installed by first resting the sheet on the support arms of the brackets and then positioning and fastening the panel to the wall. The brackets can then be removed and be reused to install a new panel of sheet material over another area of the wall frame. The bracket includes a flange that can be easily grasped by either hand while installing or removing the bracket.
