20090299846Linking loyalty reward programs - Linking loyalty programs by use of a new and unique cross-reference number. Reward points from the linked accounts are pooled. Redemption of reward points associated with the linked accounts can be restricted using restriction rules. Restriction rules restrict redemption of points from an individual's account; from the pooled rewards, and/or restrict redemption for a predetermined reward type. Reward points in the linked accounts can also be converted from one reward account to another using a conversion table, which holds a liability ratio for each account. A processing platform, typically comprising a computer-implemented linking engine and an account files database, is logically connected to a network to receive linking instructions from an account holder. The linking engine can assign the cross-reference number; apply restriction rules; and convert reward points using the conversion tables.12-03-2009

20110196070HYDROPHOBING AGENT - The present invention concerns a process to hydrophobize mortars, characterized in that a dry mortar is mixed with water, applied onto a substrate and allowed to dry, the dry mortar being preferably a gypsum dry mortar and/or containing no or less than about 5 wt. % of a minerally setting binder, calculated on the dry content of the dry mortar, wherein at least one solid hydrophobizing material is added before, during and/or after mixing of the dry mortar with water and/or the hydrophobizing material is mixed with water and applied onto the dried mortar, wherein the hydrophobizing material is a hydrophobizing agent containing a silane, a carrier, and a catalyst, and/or a silane composition containing at least a silane and a carrier and a catalyst composition containing at least a catalyst and a carrier, wherein the silane and catalyst compositions are added to the mortar together and/or separately before, during and/or after mixing of the mortar with water, wherein the silane has at least one Si—OR group and R is an organic group, wherein the catalyst is suitable for hydrolyzing the Si—OR bond and/or for condensation of the Si—OH group obtained by hydrolysis, and wherein the hydrophobizing agent, the silane composition and/or the catalyst composition are preferably in the form of a powder, granulate and/or flakes. Claimed in addition are the products obtainable by the above process and water-dispersible, water-redispersible or water-soluble catalyst compositions and hydrophobizing agents suitable for use in the process.08-11-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110181085SEAT ASSEMBLY WITH AN ELASTOMER TORSION-SPRING ELEMENT - A seat assembly including a seat base, a back support, a support for the back support and/or for the seat base and at least one elastomer torsion-spring element. The back support and/or the seat base are/is pivotably hinged to the support in such a manner that a pivoting movement of the back support and/or of the seat base on a rotation axis can be carried out. During the respective pivoting movement of the back support and/or of the seat base with the elastomer torsion-spring element a restoring torque is generated that acts on the back support and/or on the seat base. The elastomer torsion-spring element includes an internal casing, an external casing encompassing the internal casing, and an elastomer body arranged in a space between the internal casing and the external casing. The elastomer body is rigidly connected to contact surfaces of the internal and external casings. The internal casing and/or the external casing are/is rotatably arranged on a rotation axis. During rotation of the internal casing and/or of the external casing on the rotation axis deformation of the elastomer body occurs. The contact surface of the internal or external casings include a non-circular cross section in a sectional plane perpendicular to the rotation axis.07-28-2011
20110181086SUPPORT STRUCTURE FOR A BACK PART AND/OR A SEAT OF A SEAT ASSEMBLY AND SEAT ASSEMBLY COMPRISING SUCH A SUPPORT STRUCTURE - A support structure for a back part and/or a seat of a seat assembly includes a base support, a support part, and a power system. The support part is arranged on the base support to support and/or hold the respective back part and/or seat, and is attached to the base support to allow movement of the support part relative to the base support. The power system, which includes first and second spring elements and a coupling device, generates a reset force in response to (and directed opposite to) the respective movement of the support part. When the coupling device is in a first state, the second spring element generates a second reset force directed opposite to the movement of the support part. When the coupling device is in the second state, the second spring element does not generate the second reset force.07-28-2011
