  • Publication number: 20130346170
    Abstract: A customer loyalty rewards program random enhanced reward distribution system and method may comprise a server (304) receiving an indication that a user is a qualified participant because the user is one of a recipient of customer loyalty rewards program currency and qualified to be such a recipient. The server (304) may be configured to provide the user with a representation of a game (1400), via a communication network (290). The server (304) may be configured to receive, via the communication network (290), from the user, an indication that the user participates (1402) using the representation of the game (1400). The server (304) may determine whether the user is an enhanced reward recipient.

  • Patent number: 8291096
    Abstract: A central administration tool or manager supports entry or selection of attribute data or datum (e.g., an attribute value) associated with at least one of a resource and a user. The entered or selected attribute data is arranged into a data structure (e.g., a file) for transmission over a communications network. The data structure is transmitted over the communications network to a directory interface. The transmitted data structure is processed to be compatible with interpretation by a directory services system. The directory services system is invoked consistent with the contents of the data structure (e.g., the file) and the previous processing of the data structure. Resources (e.g., applications) that are under the control of the directory services are managed consistent with the contents of the data structure.

  • Publication number: 20100088964
    Abstract: A snap-in glass carrier engageable with a window regulator assembly for snap fitting a movable door glass with a glass retention hole to the glass carrier is disclosed. The glass carrier may comprise a glass carrier base and a spring finger. The spring finger may extend in a cantilevered fashion from the base and include a barb spaced from the base and engaged with the retention hole. The spring finger may also include a spring finger neck adjacent to the base and connecting to the base at an attachment location, with the spring finger neck being tapered and having a curvature configured to align the attachment location directly under an edge of the glass when the glass is mounted to the glass carrier. The snap-in glass carrier may also include saber-toothed ribs under the barb and a support bridge for the spring finger.
