A computer assisted method for facilitating transfers between financial accounts. The method includes accepting a funds transfer request via the selection of an icon, by a user, wherein the icon represents a designated transfer of a predetermined amount of funds between a funding account and at least one receiving account. The method further includes transferring the amount of funds from the funding account to the at least one receiving account.

A vaporizer having a heating chamber which may be quickly and easily removed and replaced when scale buildup interferes with the operation of the vaporizer. The vaporizer may have an improved electrode configuration, whereby the bottom portion of the electrodes provide most of the boiling energy. The vaporizer may be easily and safely maintained, as user access to the electrodes is prevented. In addition, a vaporizer is described having an electrode cartridge which may be quickly and easily removed for replacement or cleaning. A unique reservoir design provides for a flat or rising lip surrounding the main reservoir opening, which allows the reservoir to be compatible with dishwasher cleaning. The vaporizer may be provided with mineral salts to enhance the flow of electric current between the vaporizer elements.

A revised boiling chamber geometry in a vaporizer provides a scale collection area which prevents occlusion of the water inlet. A detachable scale collection cup allows for easy removal and cleaning of the cup.

A lacing aid which assists in lacing two elements tightly together comprises a first open portion that is easily threaded and engages a lace with reduced friction, and a second portion for frictional restraint of the threaded lace. Such lacing aids of the invention may be formed by bending smooth and stiff but resilient wire to form a first portion providing an opening larger than a lace with smooth inner walls, permitting the lace to slip easily when it is being tightened, and a second lace-restraining portion formed adjacent to the first portion to which a tightened lace may be easily slipped and engaged. An eyelet-connecting structure that may be used to fasten a lacing aid to a substrate element can be formed by two legs projecting from a junction, with one of the legs including a sleeve for rotatably carrying a first portion of the lacing aid and with the distal ends of the legs providing structure, such as a pair of mating fasteners, for fastening the lacing aid to a substrate, one mate being carried by each of the legs. Detent-forming structure adjacent the sleeve can hold the eyelet being carried so it extends upwardly and away from the leg. Such a connecting structure can comprise thin sheet steel bent into a U-shape, with one of the legs of the U being stamped to form notch-like portions and bent adjacent the notch-like portions to form a sleeve sized to engage the first portion of the lacing aid with a snap-fit so the first portion of a lacing aid is captively, but rotatably, carried by the U-shaped clip and can be held in the notch-like portions upwardly away from the connecting structure for easy threading.

A modular mounting system for the delivery of office utilities from a utility distribution system of an office partitioning system to a worksurface positioned in an individual workspace includes a mounting rail having an upper portion shaped for abutting attachment to a bottom surface of the worksurface and further includes a lower mounting portion defining at least one mounting aperture therein. A utility distribution bracket is abutted to the lower mounting portion wherein the bracket includes a base and an upper frame connected to the base defining therein a cavity shaped to closely receive a utility distribution block. The base and frame further define at least one aperture for user access to the utility distribution block. The utility distribution bracket further includes an engagement member extending through the mounting aperture and closely engaging the lower mounting portion of the mounting rail in a fastenerless fashion wherein the utility distribution bracket is disengagable from the mounting rail and interchangeable with others of like utility distribution brackets.
