Title: Method for implementing trading service
Inventor: ALHO JUKKA
IPC: H04Q7/22
Filed: 2000-03-01
Abstract: The invention is based on billing for at least one product and/or service ordered being implemented through a telephone bill and in such a way that billing of the telephone connection is delayed until at least confirmation is received from the selling party that the transaction can be realized. Thus, after receiving an order, the selling party checks the order and, if at least one product and/or service can be ordered, or has already been ordered, sends the producer of the trading service confirmation of the transaction. In this connection, a short message containing confirmation of the transaction can also be sent to the telephone connection, through which the order was placed.  By means of this confirmation, the person placing the order can ensure that the order has been received and the product and/or service ordered will be delivered. In certain preferred embodiments of the invention, the confirmation message sent to the person placing the order can also be utilized to verify the transaction. In such a case, information on the transaction and, if necessary, verification, by means of which payment for at least one product and/or service can be proven, is included in the confirmation message.

Title: Cholesterol sulfate and amino sugar compositions for enhancement of stratum corneum function
Inventor: MAES DANIEL H
IPC: A61K8/36
Filed: 2001-12-20
Abstract: The present invention provides compositions containing a mixture of cholesterol sulfate and an exfoliant. The exfo-liant can be N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, N-acetylgalactosamine, or a combination thereof. The combination of the cholesterol sulfate with the exfoliant surprisingly enhances the skin barrier even though the activity of each of the components is opposite the other. In addition, because of the ability to enhance or repair the skin barrier function, methods of improving or maintaining a healthy skin barrier are included in the present invention by applying to the skin an effective amount of the mixture of cholesterol sulfate with the exfoliant. The mixture can also be useful in treating or preventing damage to the skin, where the damage is caused by a compromised skin barrier function. As a result of improving the skin barrier function with the combination of cholesterol sulfate and the exfoliant, the appearance of lines and wrinkles is generally reduced; rough and dry skin conditions are also improved.
