  • Publication number: 20150170185
    Abstract: An incentive rewards program that enables an initiating participant entity to dynamically specify incentive rewards point values with respect to defined activities that may be variously performed by other participant entities and by consumers. These entities are nominally associated with vertically aligned business tiers including a retail operator tier. The initiating participant entity is nominally only indirectly associated with retail participant entities associated with the retail operator tier. Retail participant entities record transactions that associate incentive program account identifiers with identified defined activities. These transactions are largely autonomously retrieved, parsed and qualified against the defined activities specified by the initiating participant entity. Corresponding sets of reward points are allocated from an account corresponding to the initiating participant entity to accounts corresponding to the account identifiers recorded in the transaction records.

  • Patent number: 5245277
    Abstract: A clamp for a test socket for testing packaged integrated circuit devices, particularly used devices, includes grooves corresponding to original pin locations of the integrated circuit device. When an integrated circuit device having misaligned pins is placed in the test socket and the clamp is set upon the integrated circuit device and manually shifted against the integrated circuit device, grooves receive the pins, aligning any misaligned pins properly against contacts in the socket. Closing the socket causes the pins to be firmly aligned against the contacts for testing.
