| 20110191140 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING MARKETING EFFORTS - The present invention relates to a method and system for evaluating the cause and effect of advertising and marketing programs using card transaction data. In one embodiment, access is provided to voluminous card-holder transaction data detailing accurate-to-the-penny transaction amounts, twenty-four hour active customers, and a multi-year transaction history per customer. Furthermore, such data is captured in real-time, and due to the sample size, can provide granular, statistically significant information at a local level for client and merchant coverage. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20110231227 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PURCHASE-BASED SEGMENTATION - A method and system for purchased-based segmentation of potential customers employs the use of actual, observed purchases instead of presumptions and correlations to improve the accuracy of segmentation and involves collecting empirical data for a client on actual purchasing behavior of a group of customers and applying statistical modeling techniques to the empirical purchasing behavior data to identify segments or clusters of the customers that exhibit similar purchasing propensity characteristics. Thereafter, the segments or clusters are further differentiated from one another according to other factors having a tendency to directly affect actual purchasing behavior of the customers within the segments or clusters, and potential customers are then identified according to a correlation with the segments or clusters for customized marketing. | 09-22-2011 |

| 20080268515 | Method and apparatus for production and refinement of microbial consortia for the generation of selective therapeutic chemical agents - A culturing fluid of defined bacterial consortia is placed within a cultivation apparatus to generate growths of either a bioconcretious or biocolloidal form within, or attached to surfaces exposed to, the culturing fluid. Such growths involve the interactive activities between all of the bacterial consortia to generate growths and economically attractive chemical daughter and end products within the fluid environment bounded by the cultivation apparatus. The cultivation apparatus allows the culturing fluid to flow along passageways that have alternating constricted and expanded zones in a manner that creates the growth of bioconcretious or biocolloidal structures within which the bacterial consortia interact to allow maintenance of these growth structures and stimulate the production of the desired chemical products of significance. The bacterial consortia generate either biocolloids or bioconcretions within an electrically charged field that is generated by the interaction of the consortia with dissimilar metal or carbon surfaces of the passageways. The grown interacting bacterial consortia and their culturing fluids can be used as sources of chemicals such as therapeutic agents that are anti-microbial, probiotic, anti-biotic, or anti-cancer agents. | 10-30-2008 |
