Abstract: An electronic system and method for gathering consumer feedback and reporting the feedback. The system and method provides an incentive for engaging the consumer to register and answer a survey. The registration information and answers provided are compiled into a database and may be formatted into reports. The gathering of the feedback and the reporting may be done in real-time. Information from the survey may be used to communicate or market to targeted users. Thus, the present invention relates to an electronic system and method for achieving registration, gathering consumer feedback via a survey, and communicating or marketing to targeted users based on survey results.

Abstract: Covers a new composition of matter comprising an acrylamide or methacrylamide monomer characterized by the following structural formula: ##STR1## where R.sub.1 is hydrogen or methyl, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are lower alkyl, R.sub.4 is a linear or branched alkyl group containing 7-20 carbon atoms, X is an anion of an organic or mineral acid having a valence m and A is a divalent lower alkyl group.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of 1-methylpiperazine and 1,4-dimethylpiperazine as co-products is disclosed which provides a crude reaction product free of piperazine impurity. The process of the invention comprises mixing and reacting formaldehyde and piperazine at a molar ratio of more than 1.3 to less than about 2.0 and then hydrogenating the resulting reaction product carried in methanol as a major solvent in liquid phase at a temperature of about 60.degree.-130.degree.C. in the presence of a nickel or cobalt hydrogenation catalyst. The crude hydrogenated reaction product is free from piperazine impurity from which 1-methylpiperazine and 1,4-dimethylpiperazine can be readily separated in substantially pure form such as by simple fractional distillation.
