Title: Systems and methods for operating loyalty programs
Inventor: GEORGE COLLEEN
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 2003-02-18
Abstract: A loyalty system that may be integrated with a financial infrastructure is provided. Such a financial infrastructure may accommodate transactions involving participants in the loyalty program as well as transactions that do not involve participants in the loyalty program. When a transaction is initiated by a customer at a merchant, regardless of who are the parties to the transaction, it is intercepted by a loyalty switch (212), which determines (216) whether the customer and merchant are participants in the loyalty program. The switch transmits the transaction instruction to the financial infrastructure so that authorization (220) may be received. If it is determined that the customer and merchant are participants in the loyalty program, the loyalty switch (212) also executes a loyalty process that conforms with the criteria of the loyalty program.

Patent CA-2482084-A1 (CA)
Title: Loader implement
Inventor: BOUCHER JEAN-FRANCOIS
IPC: E02F9/16
Filed: 2004-09-20
Abstract: A loader implement includes a support mast that is provided with a mounting area for a front loader arrangement. The loader implement includes a roll-over protective assembly that is coupled to one of the other or both of the loader implement, or support mast. The protective assembly can-be selectively pivoted between a raised protective position wherein it extends over an operator's platform and a lowered non-protective position, wherein it extends forward of the operator's platform. So as to prevent the -loader arrangement from being used without the benefit of the protective assembly in its protective position, the mounting area for the loader arrangement is blocked by the protective assembly when the latter is in its non-protective position and is not cleared to permit the mounting of the loader arrangement until the protective assembly is moved to its protective position.
