Abstract: A method and apparatus for distributing, generating, and redeeming discount coupons, rebate or gift certificates or the like tracks each coupon using a consumer ID number printed on the coupon. Coupons may be distributed electronically, for example, in the form of a diskette or CD-ROM software. Software on the diskette or CD-ROM may prompt a consumer to call a 1-800 number for a validation number or code. During the phone call, telemarketing personnel may request consumer demographic and or identification information which may be entered into a centralized database. Once the software is validated, a consumer may print out selected coupons displayed on a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Each coupon may be printed only a limited number of times. Each coupon may be imprinted with a consumer ID number, preferably in the form of a bar code. Once redeemed, consumer ID information and coupon information may be retrieved from coupons forwarded to a coupon clearing house. Accurate data may then be produced illustrating which consumers or groups of consumers are redeeming which coupons. Such data may be used for marketing purposes or to generated further diskettes for distribution targeting specific consumers or groups of consumers with specific classes of coupon offerings. The use of a consumer ID number on the coupon may reduce or prevent the fraudulent copying and redemption of coupons, as multiple redemptions of a single coupon by a consumer may be readily detected from data gathered at the brokerage clearing house.

Abstract: The method involves applying a sample on a carrier of a laser dissection microscope, displaceable in its plane. The collecting detention device centered on the optical axis is lowered on the sample. One or multiple dissection specimens are cut from the sample. If the next dissected specimen is outside the pre-determined collecting radius of the detention device than raise the device, lower the device on the sample and cut one or more dissection specimens. After raising pre-determined position from all positions is dislodged about a pre-determined distance, which is determined before. An independent claim is also included for the laser dissection microscope for cutting and collecting of dissected specimens.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing an organic acid or its derivatives, which comprises oxidation of a hydrocarbon substrate in the presence of a homogeneous MC-type catalyst and an oxidant. In particular, the present invention relates to a process comprising oxidation of a hydrocarbon substrate in the presence of a homogeneous MC-type catalyst selected from Co/Br, Mn/Br, Co/Mn/Br and Co/Mn/M/Br and an O 2 /CO 2  mixed gas oxidant where the partial pressure of O 2  is controlled to 30-40%, thereby improving the oxidation rate, the conversion, the selectivity and the yield even under milder conditions. Especially, the present invention remarkably reduces down to a negligible level the production of color impurities and other impurities such as 4-CBA and p-toluic acid, which had been conventionally removed by hydrogenation reduction. Further, the loss in acetic acid solvent due to combustion can also be drastically decreased using the method of the present invention.

Abstract: The aspect change of images accompanying a channel change has not been made quickly. 
     TV 110 extracts aspect ratio information about each program of each channel which is overlapped on digital television set broadcasting signals from digital television set broadcasting signals periodically, and records the same to a recording medium 50. On the other hand, when the instruction of change of the channel is input from outside, the TN 110 immediately reads out the aspect ratio information corresponding to the program of the channel of the change destination by the instruction concerned from the recording medium 50, and the TV 110 notifies the same to a microcomputer 90 which controls a scaler 80. Accordingly, in comparison with the prior art, it is possible to greatly shorten the time required to notify the aspect ratio information to the scaler 80.
