Abstract: One or more session identifiers (IDs) are used to identify a consumer's browsing session through a network, such as an Internet browsing session for real estate information. The session ID(s) and related browsing data are stored, thereby tracking and capturing data pertaining to the consumer and/or the consumer's preferences. When the consumer views details of an item of interest (such as a home), details about the home are captured and stored, and a telephone number and telephone extension number are presented to the consumer. The telephone extension number is associated with the session ID(s). When the consumer dials the telephone number and provides the telephone extension number to make further inquiries about the home, the telephone call is directed to a call center, and an operator at the call center uses the telephone extension number as input to a lead tracking computing system that uses the telephone extension number to locate the associated session ID and to access the corresponding browsing data.

Abstract: Tracking the origination, and/or the series of referring parties allows adequate, accurate and timely recognition of referrals or leads, fostering increased cooperation between parties. An trusted intermediary may expeditiously track or monitor the referrals or leads further enhancing cooperation between parties, allowing the successful implementation of new business models. Broadcasting the availability of a lead to multiple agents having suitable criteria increases the responsiveness to consumer inquires or leads.

Abstract: A one-piece tubular elbow fitting. A unitary conduit body includes continuous, generally cylindrical side walls having a seamless configuration characterized by an absence of bumps and grooves at an inner surface thereof. The side walls are curved in an axial direction to define a flow channel having an axially arcuate flowpath and a generally circular cross section. The molecular structure of the conduit body includes former non-crystalline portions which have been reoriented and aligned to form stronger, crystalline molecular structure.
