20090012823 | Configuring Office-Specific Security Parameters Using Office Profiles - In general, techniques for configuring blacklist handling via regional profiles of reservation and departure control system (RDCS) are described herein. More specifically, a RDCS is disclosed for use in creating operational profiles. A global profile may be dynamically defined to determine operational aspects of a transportation carrier that are common to all office of that carrier. Office profiles are dynamically defined to determine operational aspects that are specific to that office location. In this manner, the operation of each office may be tailored to the specific location. Moreover, the operational aspects are not “hard-coded”, but instead are readily selectable by an authorized end user. According to one aspect, local management of blacklists is supported by the profiles. | 01-08-2009 |
20090210264 | Conversation Mode Booking System - A system to book events such as trips are discloses. The system provides a conversation mode that allows a booking to be created within retentive storage in a portable format. In one embodiment, this portable format is a string written in eXtensible Markup Language (XML). This format may be stored to a database using a single database access operation. According to another aspect of the system, a user may ignore selectable portions of the booking as the booking is being created such that an entire booking need not be discarded when it is determined that a single service or informational element included in that booking is no longer needed. | 08-20-2009 |
20090216572 | Conversation Mode Booking Method - A method to book events such as trips are discloses. The method provides a conversation mode that allows a booking to be created within retentive storage in a portable format. In one embodiment, this portable format is a string written in eXtensible Markup Language (XML). This format may be stored to a database using a single database access operation. According to another aspect of the method, a user may ignore selectable portions of the booking as the booking is being created such that an entire booking need not be discarded when it is determined that a single service or informational element included in that booking is no longer needed. | 08-27-2009 |
20090287513 | System and method for processing multiple bookings to receive a transportation service - A system and method for use by a transportation service provider to process multiple bookings in a single transaction. This single-transaction processing can be initiated to place passengers of multiple bookings on a same flight, to seat passengers of multiple bookings next to one another, or to reserve special services for passengers of multiple bookings. This mechanism is supported by a user interface that allows multiple bookings to be “visually merged”. This provides a display that presents data for multiple bookings as though that data is part of a same booking, and which readily allows a user to initiate processing of the data during a single transaction. | 11-19-2009 |

20110202480 | Objective Model Of Apparent Age, Methods And Use - Methods of developing equations for objectively assigning or predicting an apparent age are disclosed. Advantageously, the equations of objective apparent age may be based on a relatively small number of critical parameters combined in a way that accounts for all or most of the apparent skin aging in a defined population or sub-population. Despite the relatively small data collection requirements, the present invention includes an objective model of apparent age that is useful for evaluation of products, useful for predicting treatment outcomes and useful for predicting the effects of deteriorative factors. The formalization of an Objective Apparent Age Score allows one to identify the biophysical and biochemical parameters that mostly influence an individual's apparent age, and can be used to select specific anti-aging treatments with increased chances of visible success. The Objective Apparent Age Score may also be used to support marketing claims. | 08-18-2011 |
20110238604 | COMPUTER-AIDED DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING SKIN COMPOSITIONS BASED ON TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINAL (TCM) PRINCIPLES - Computer-aided systems and methods are provided for determining the skin composition of a specific user according to Traditional Chinese Medicinal (TCM) principles by statistically analyzing biological and/or psychological information collected from such user, such as age, gender, bodily sensation, skin condition and complexion, sleep pattern, dietary habits, energy level, stress level, physical fitness and emotional wellness, so as to classify the skin composition of the user according to TCM principles but without employing a TCM practitioner. Preferably, the skin composition classification is indicative of Yin-Yang balance of the skin of the user or the lack thereof. The present systems and methods may further recommend to the user one or more topical skin care regimens and/or ingestible skin benefit products suitable for the skin composition of the specific user. | 09-29-2011 |
