Title: Monomer-poor polyurethane prepolymer free of NCO groups, preparation and use with hardeners for bonding plastic, metals and paper
Inventor: BOLTE GERD
IPC: C09D175/04
Filed: 1997-12-18
Abstract: A monomer-poor polyurethane prepolymer, containing free NCO groups. Said prepolymer is produced from polyhydric alcohol's and diisocyanates having different reactivity and is characterized by the proportion of the NCO groups of the partially less reactive diisocyanate with respect to the NCO groups of the more reactive diisocyanate, the proportion being greater than 6 to 1. However, the prepolymer hardens faster than a known polymer containing primarily more reactive NCO groups. Preferably, TDI is used as partially less reactive diisocyanate and MDI as more reactive diisocyanate. The production of the prepolymers occurs in two stages. The inventive prepolymer is suitable for gluing plastic objects, metals and paper, specially foils, whereby the accelerated migration freedom is quite noticeable.

Title: Generating promotional material and purchase incentives depending on customer purchase history
Inventor: JERMYN MICHAEL G
IPC: G06Q20/20
Filed: 1998-08-27
Abstract: To customize mailed purchase incentives for selected consumer households, based on a detailed purchasing history of the consumers, purchase transactions of many consumers, generally in different stores, are accumulated in a purchase history database (32) over a long period of time and then used to generate customized incentive offers (90) for selected consumers. For a selected product category (68), usually related to a promotional theme, the purchase history database is scanned (70) to select consumers who have made purchases in the same product area as the selected product category (72). Then each selected consumer's purchase transactions are analyzed to determine a profile (74) for the consumer, such as loyal to the promoted brand (76), loyal to a competitive brand (78), or new to the selected product category (80), although a purchaser of related products. The consumer profile is then used to customize a purchase incentive package (82, 84, 86) generated for each consumer household. The package also includes other printed materials (90) to enhance the purchase incentives. Post-processing provides results reports of response and redemption rates (106), and retention analysis (110) is used to track the targeted consumers' shopping behavior to assess the long-term effects of a promotion.
