  • Patent number: 8175909
    Abstract: An integrated, service-based approach to profitable customer loyalty, in which feedback related to an implicated product/process is received from at least two users. The feedback received from the users is aggregated and analyzed to identify the implicated product/process. It is determined whether the aggregated feedback received from the users reaches a threshold level with respect to one or more of the implicated product/process identified. If the threshold level is determined to have been reached, an aspect of the implicated product/process that is related to the aggregated feedback is identified and the identified aspect of the product/process is modified based on the aggregated feedback.

  • Patent number: 4423380
    Abstract: The disclosure is of a method and system for scanning all of the cells of a dynamic memory at selected increasing time intervals. The apparatus includes first and second counters coupled to a comparator, the output of which triggers the operation of the scanning apparatus.When the system is turned on, the count in both counters is the same, and a signal appears at the output of the comparator to trigger the scanner. If no error appears in the memory, the first counter is incremented by a selected first count, and then the second counter is incremented from zero until its count equals that in the first counter, and, again, an output from the comparator triggers the scanner. Again, if no error appears in the memory, the first counter is incremented by a second greater count, which represents a larger time interval, and the second counter is incremented from zero until its count equals that entered in the first counter, and the comparator again energizes the scanner.
