Abstract: A system and machine-implemented method for providing flighting of card-linked offers to card holders is provided. A flighting priority for each card-linked offer deal may be determined based on flighting parameters. A flighting schedule may automatically schedule flighting of a card-linked offer deals based on the flighting priorities and using all available budget allocated to each card-linked offer deal without going over the allocated budget.

Abstract: A system and machine-implemented method for determining and recommending a deal construct specifying a card-linked offer to cardholders is provided. A deal construct for a card-linked offer deal may be determined based on historical data from previously executed card-linked offer deals and selected deal construct parameters. A predictive model based on performance of card-linked offer deals for similar businesses may be used to determine an optimal range of deal constructs to be offered to an advertiser.

Abstract: A process for applying a solvent-free underfill onto a bumped semiconductor comprises: providing an underfill in a compressible state on a semiconductor, contacting the underfill with a compliant surface and applying sufficient pressure to expose the bumps, optionally hardening the underfill to a solid state, and removing the compliant surface.

Abstract: A cover can be moved easily for access behind where the cover had been, and easily restored to its original position, without having to unattach and reattach the cover. In one example, cable guides and an edge of a coupled net can be moved in a vertical direction to allow access to shelving without disconnecting them from the shelving structure, and can be moved in the opposite direction to the original position. The cable guides can direct two cables between opposing sides of the shelving structure in that example.

Abstract: A display sign can be moved easily for access behind where the display sign had been, and easily restored to its original position, without having to unattach and reattach the sign.

Abstract: This invention relates to an externally applied lotion that causes irritation or mild inflammation of the skin or mucous membranes for the purpose of relieving pain in hemorrhoids and the method of making such lotion. The formulation of the present invention contains ingredients to perform the five functions of vasoconstrictor, astringent, analgesic, antipruritic, and anesthetic. An alternate embodiment of the invention provides a formulation of the invention having a suitable viscosity to enable the lotion to be applied by a spray applicator directly to the site of application.
