Abstract: The present invention is directed to compositions and processes for their use that allow for the delivery of physiologically active agents, using a unique composition containing glycerin and triglycerides in the proper ratio. The composition functions by acting both as a humectant and occlusive agent attracting water, returning the skin surface to a smooth state and holding water and physiologically active agents in place. The presence of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic components of the current invention solubilize the physiologically actives into the complex matrix, keeping the actives on the skin and allowing them to penetrate the skin over time, thus delivering the actives to the blood stream.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to compositions and processes for their use that ameliorate the appearance of bruises, making them less cosmetically unappealing. The composition functions by acting both as a humectant and occlusive agent attracting water, returning the skin surface to a smooth state and holding water in place. The re-establishment of a homeostatic state in the skin results in a rapid dissipation of the negative cosmetic effects of the bruise on the skin.

Abstract: A bruise amelioration composition that can be applied for one hour to an affected site, such as a bruise, contusion or blister, in the form of a gel, liquid or adhesive bandage. The composition includes at least 40% by weight of glycerin and at least 2% by weight of primrose oil. Preferably, the composition includes a fragrance, such as peach oil and marjoram and 1% to 10% by weight of vitamins A, C, D, E and K.

Abstract: An automated unified pricing method and system that allow companies to precisely calculate the price of a combination of products and/or services when those products or services are offered together in a bundle for a unified price are described. This methodology applies to the situation where there is some observable or predicted market value to the bundle elements sold individually, or to bundles which are a subset of a larger bundle being contemplated. The method and system determine linked usage correlation values to determine a core product of a pool of candidate products. The selection of the core product is maximized or optimized by eliminating substitutes from the pool and recalculating the linked usage correlation values. The unified price is calculated by multiplying the price (retail price) of each individual candidate product by the correlation coefficient related to the joint relationship of the core product and the respective candidate product to create adjusted prices for the candidate products.

Abstract: A bruise amelioration composition that can be applied for one hour to an affected site, such as a bruise, contusion or blister, in the form of a gel, liquid or adhesive bandage. The composition includes at least 85% by weight of glycerin and at least 2% by weight of primrose oil. Preferably, the composition includes a fragrance, such as peach oil and marjoram and 1% to 10% by weight of vitamins A, C, D, E and K.

Abstract: A method for pricing a product or service to promote or reward usage of the product or service by selecting a baseline price for a billing period; selecting a variable price per event or time period, the variable price being negative; selecting a number of events or a number of time periods; and calculating a total price per billing period. The total price is the sum of the baseline price and the product produced by multiplying the variable price and the number of events or time periods.

Abstract: A method of determining the prices of a set of services or goods to be charged to a customer in order to optimize the amount for which the customer can obtain reimbursement from another for whose benefit the services or goods are purchased, comprising: categorizing by type the services or goods; ranking the categories by price sensitivity or chargeback realization; setting boundaries for a price increase, above a reference price associated with the services or goods in each category of a first subset of the categories and setting boundaries for a price decrease, below a reference price associated with the services or goods in each category of a second subset of the categories; and, increasing, above a reference price, the price of services or goods associated with each low price sensitivity or high chargeback realization category by an amount related to a decrease, below a reference price, of the price of services or goods associated with each high price sensitivity or low chargeback realization category, whe
