Abstract: A system providing methods for dynamically generating personalized content is described. Specific items of content which may be personalized or customized are identified. Subdirectories are created for each value of such personalized content. Files specific to each value of personalized content are created and placed in these subdirectories. When a user requests a particular web page or item of content, a token is retrieved identifying the personalized content to be generated for that particular user. Personalized content is then dynamically generated by construction of a path to at least one subdirectory containing personalized content. The path to such subdirectory containing personalized content is dynamically constructed based upon the token identifying such personalized content.

Abstract: The current invention includes an improved system for an e-commerce vendor to seamlessly incorporate products and services from a third party into its own e-commerce site. This system enables the e-commerce vendor to display the third party products and to accept orders and arrange fulfillment of these products through its own site in a manner that is seamless to the end user. When the e-commerce retailer requests product information from the supplier, the supplier provides the retailer with product information and URLs at which additional information can be located. The retailer uses this information to retrieve product images, descriptions and information and to display this information to its customer on its own site. Each of these items is tagged with a unique element identifier that contains a number of details about the product. This information tagged to the product image or description enables the product to be easily identified by both the retailer and the supplier.

Abstract: An electrical component model generator generates, stores, and retrieves component models in a component model library. Component models comprise property values. A property value quantifies a property. Properties are associated with a plurality of component models. The component model generator generates rules. A rule is a relationship between two or more properties. A rule applied to two or more properties associated with the component model define a property value for at least one of these properties. Properties that are not defined by rules or that have a value different from the value generated by a rule are quantified by an exception value that is input by a user. The component model generator stores the component models by storing the rules for all component models and the exception values for each component model. Generating and maintaining the component model library is facilitated by automatically applying the rules to the component model to generate some or most of the property values.
