Title: Method and system for rewarding desired consumer behavior with isp service
Inventor: BARRICK PENNY
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2000-08-25
Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for rewarding desired consumer behavior with ISP service is disclosed. A host computer tracks a purchase history of a consumer, the purchase history corresponding to at least one purchase of the consumer. The host copmuter determines whether the consumer qualifies to receive free Internet service from an ISP based on the consumer's purchase history and causes a store computer to deliver to teh consumer a reward, redeemable for the free service, if the consumer qualifies to receive the free service. Offline and online purchase histories of consumers may be used to target offers for free ISP service. According to another aspect of the invention, the store computer delivers an offer to a consumer. The offer includes a reward redeemable for free Internet service from an Internet service provider and a condition that must be met by the consumer in order for the consumer to receive the reward. The host computer then determines whether the consumer has met the condition, and the store computer delivers the reward to teh consumer if the consumer has met the condition.

Patent CA-2415090-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JOHNSSON STIG
IPC: F42B10/16
Filed: 2001-06-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to a fin-stabilized artillery shell (1) comprising a body part (8, 26, 36) which can be axially displaced rearwards, in the direction of flight of the shell, once the latter has left the barrel from which it has been fired, and which in the original position is fully retracted in the shell (1), and in which a number of deployable fins (18, 24, 29-30, 42-47) are in turn secured, and from which the fins are automatically deployed as soon as the body part has reached its rear position in which it is locked relative to the rest of the shell. One of the advantages of the invention is that in the flight position it gives the shell a greater length than is permitted by the charging position of the artillery piece launching the shell. This gives the shell considerably better stability in its trajectory towards the target. The invention also includes different embodiments of the body part (8, 26, 36) which can be tubular (8) or cylinder-shaped (26) and accommodate different types of fins (18-24, 29-30, 42-47) and also in certain configurations a built-in base-bleed unit (3). The body part can also be divided into two parts (27, 34 and 37, 38) which rotate freely relative to each other and which allow the fins (18-24, 29-30, 42-47) to spin freely relative to the rest of the shell (1) which has been shown to make the latter more easily manoeuvred without impairing its directional stability.
