Abstract: A pillow that includes a substantially u-shaped pillow body having a medial region and a pair of legs that extend from the medial region to define an opening therebetween. The pillow body includes a casing defining an exterior surface and interior surface of the pillow body. The interior surface defines a lumen of the pillow body, and the lumen is a single continuous interior compartment. The pillow body includes an interior core disposed within the lumen. The interior core may include a flexible insert in a rolled up configuration that substantially fills the interior core. The casing may include a top fabric member, a bottom fabric member, and a middle fabric section that runs along the curved outer periphery and curved inner periphery of the casing, and is attached to the top fabric member and bottom fabric member.

Abstract: The present invention is directed, in various exemplary embodiments thereof, to an inventive configurable pillow case comprising an internally disposed primary compartment (for receiving a primary insert (e.g., a conventional pillow), and at least one secondary compartment, positioned proximally to the pillow case top surface, that is sized and configured to receive, and releaseably retain, one or more correspondingly sized and configured secondary inserts that provide one or more predefined desirable physical characteristics/properties/functions and/or features to the resulting “pillow assembly”. In various exemplary embodiments thereof, when the primary resilient insert is removed therefrom, the inventive configurable pillow case, along with the at least one secondary insert positioned in the at least one secondary compartment, may be rolled up and secured in a generally cylindrical form for storage, travel, and/or alternative uses.

Abstract: A dual credit card system is in two parts: a) the creation of a dual credit card; and b) the usage of a dual credit card. The creation begins with the receipt of an application by merchant for a dual credit card. The issuing organization issues the dual credit card to the applicant. The user may make a purchase with the dual credit card at either a private label merchant location or at a location accepting the bankcard. These locations may traditional physical locations, a web site on the Internet or a catalog. When a purchase is made at a merchant location, the processing of the merchant location dual credit card purchase is done via a private-label processing channel. If the user uses the dual credit card at a non-merchant location, the purchase may be processed through the VISA/MasterCard network.

Abstract: A method for issuing a dual credit card includes receiving information regarding an applicant and assigning a credit line to a dual credit card for the applicant.
