20100144578 | METHOD FOR WASHING AN ARTICLE USING A MOLDED DETERGENT COMPOSITION - A method for washing an article using a molded detergent composition is provided. The method includes generating an aqueous solution from a solid block molded detergent composition and washing the article with the use solution. The molded detergent composition is a result of mixing and molding a mixture without heating. The molded detergent composition includes a hydrated component, a hydratable component and an enzyme. The hydrated component is provided in a solid state during mixing and molding. The hydratable component includes water, if present at all, at a level of less than about 2 wt. % based on the weight of the hydratable component. The hydratable component is a component which successfully competes with the hydrated component for at least a portion of the water of hydration. The enzyme constitutes between about 0.01 wt. % and about 10 wt. % of the mixture. | 06-10-2010 |

20130124261 | Web Influenced In-Store Transactions - In selected embodiments a repository system correlates user browsing behavior with in-store transactions involving a number of products or product categories. For example, an online portal may receive online transactional data and in-store transactional data and associate particular user identities with such data. The user identities may be correlated by matching online transactional data with in-store transactional data. This correlation identifies a user known to frequent both online and in-store venues of the same retailer. The online portal may maintain browser repository records based on an association of online and in-store identities. In some implementations, the portal measures in-store transactions of a user known to frequent both online and in-store venues. The measurements may be performed for a predetermined time period. Such measurements may be used to extrapolate web influenced in-store transactional data from at least one browser repository record to estimate a transaction for an unknown user. | 05-16-2013 |
