  • Patent number: 7797377
    Abstract: The invention provides a method, system and computer-readable medium for storing images with related information in a relational database and using the information to order available products for a selected image over a network. A unique identifier is generated for each image, allowing different types of searches of the relational database to be performed including product-based and image-based searches. A selection of a returned image causes a cut-down version of the image and all available products to be displayed on a page. If a product is selected, a server enables a transaction for a user to order the selected product. A HTTP Cookie may be employed to store a user identifier, allowing use of user profiles for customization of particular options and displayed products.

  • Patent number: 6901378
    Abstract: The invention provides a method, system and computer-readable medium for storing images with related information in a relational database and using the information to order available products for a selected image over a network. Tag and business information may be associated with an image in the database and a unique image identifier is generated for each image. Different types of searches of the relational database may be performed including product based and image based. Affirmative results from searches are returned as images and/or products that are displayed in pages. The returned images also include information indicating available products. The selection of a returned image causes a cut-down version of the image and all of the available products to be displayed in the same page. When an available product is selected, a server enables a transaction for a user to order the selected product. A Hyper Text Transport Protocol (HTTP) Cookie is employed to store a copy of a client identifier at a client.

  • Patent number: 5130012
    Abstract: A fluidized catalytic cracking process using a high efficiency regenerator comprising a coke combustor, a dilute phase transport riser, and a second fluidized bed with catalyst recirculation to the coke combustor, is operated to reduce NO.sub.x emissions in the regenerator flue gas. The amount of catalyst recirculation from the second fluidized bed to the coke combustor or combustion air addition or preferably both are adjusted based on continuous or periodic measurement of a process parameter of the FCC regenerator which directly or indirectly measures the NO.sub.x content of regenerator flue gas. Operation with restricted air or catalyst recirculation degrades coke combustor operation, shifts some regeneration to downstream portions of the regenerator, and reduces NO.sub.x emissions.
