  • Publication number: 20080172407
    Abstract: A system and method for a networked viral family tree are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a computer-implemented method, comprises receiving a first profile from a first client. The first profile includes a first e-mail address. A second e-mail address is received from the first client. The second e-mail address is associated with a second profile. The second profile is created dynamically when the client provides the second e-mail address. An invitation is sent to the second e-mail address to provide additional profile information associated with the second profile. One or more relationships are associated to the first profile and the second profile to generate a family tree. One or more user interfaces is provided through which the first client provides a plurality of e-mail addresses corresponding to members of the family tree and are associated with of a plurality of profiles.

  • Publication number: 20060015539
    Abstract: A suite of features for use by a synchronization agent to synchronize data records among two or more clients. Some of the embodiments enhance conventional synchronization features by providing customizable response of a synchronization agent to an operator's needs. For example, conditions may be defined that permit various client records to be synchronized according to policies that differ from default synchronization policies. Different synchronization policies may be triggered by the content of data records or by the clients from which the records originate. Other features may cause automatic population of fields within data records or resolution of synchronization conflicts.

  • Publication number: 20030194448
    Abstract: A rehydration composition and oral delivery system is provided that allows for enhanced functional ingredient delivery when ingested orally as a water based solution. The rehydration composition comprises a low fiber colloidal hydrolyzed rice carbohydrate ingredient having, on a dry weight basis, less than 0.1% fiber and between 0.5% and 1.0% protein and between 0-0.5% and 1.0% fat, and having a dextrose equivalency (DE) value within the approximate range of 20-30 (commonly DE 25), and electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, citrate, and/or bicarbonate. The rehydration composition, which is concentrated or dried, becomes an oral rehydration solution (ORS) when mixed with water for oral consumption. The rehydration composition, when mixed with active ingredients such as vaccines, drugs, amino acids, mineral salts, vitamins, nutraceuticals, probiotics, prebiotics, flavors, or nutritive or non-nutritive sweeteners, is referred to as an oral delivery system.

  • Publication number: 20020016765
    Abstract: A system and method for handling a payment between a buyer/payor to a seller/payee at a third-party site. The buyer is redirected from the seller to the third-party payment processor to process payment for an electronic transaction. Details of the transaction may be received with the buyer's connection. The buyer may be electrically disconnected from the seller to prevent financial or private data from being passed to the seller. The third-party payment processor establishes an account for the buyer if the buyer does not have an account. The buyer's account may be funded by a credit card, debit card or bank account, and may be identified with an electronic mail address. The third-party payment processor transfers payment from the buyer to the seller (e.g., through a seller account with the payment processor). The buyer may be redirected to the seller after completion or cancellation of the payments.
