Abstract: A system for managing promotions over a network includes a promotion server system having a computer processor and associated datastore, the datastore containing data representative of terms and statistics of one or more item promotions, and a commercial server system including a computer processor, the commercial server system being selectively coupleable to the promotion server system over the network. The promotion server system includes promotion code for transferring, to the commercial server system, the data representative of the terms and statistics of the promotions.

Abstract: A personal topical disinfectant device, including a pair of the flexible, fluid-impermeable sheets joined at their peripheries to establish a fluid-tight central region in closing a folded flexible sheet impregnated with and ingestible antibacterial agent. Optionally, the flexible sheet is impregnated with a flavoring and/or texturizing agent.

Abstract: An electronic coupon having an associated redemption function for use over a communications channel includes a computer-readable medium associated with a computer processor, the computer-readable medium being encoded with a data structure. The data structure includes data representative of a version number of the electronic coupon, data representative of a party capable of redeeming the electronic coupon, and data representative of a serial number identifying the electronic coupon. The data structure is adapted for providing a benefit in the course of an online transaction based on the redemption function.

Abstract: The invention consists of a method and system for enabling and enhancing electronic commerce over a communications channel.The system includes a communication channel coupled to at least two terminals having the ability to send, and receive information. Where one terminal is deemed to be the client A, and the other terminal is deemed the server B. Upon receiving a request for information from the client A, the server B transfers the requested information. In addition to the requested information, the server B adds certain additional information in the form of a coupon C (that can be enciphered) that allows the client A to be recognized by other servers B' not necessarily related to the server B, issuing the original information C. Any server(s) B' that subsequently recognizes client A as the client A makes requests for information to the new server(s) B' would only have the ability to recognize portions of the information C related to it.

Where one terminal is deemed to be the client A, and the other terminal is deemed the server B. Upon receiving a request for information from the client A, the server B transfers the requested information. In addition to the requested information, the server B adds certain additional information either in the form of a coupon C (that can be enciphered), or in the form of a pointer to a coupon database, that allows the client A to be recognized by other servers B' not necessarily related to the server B, issuing the original information C. Any server(s) B' that subsequently recognizes client A as the client A makes requests for information to the new server(s) B' would only have the ability to recognize portions of the information C related to it.
