Filed:

Apr 29, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/302034

Inventors:

James W. Rose - San Carlos CA, US
Theodore C. Chen - Santa Clara CA, US

International Classification:

G06Q 10/00

US Classification:

705 5

Abstract:

The present invention is a software product that provides merchants that sell time-slot inventories tools to capitalize on the Internet revolution. The present invention enables the creation of web-sites for merchants with a built-in web-based reservation booking system. This offers customers the on-line benefits of access, selection and immediacy in making real-time reservation/appointments over the Internet. The software product also simplifies the merchant's booking process by providing a central web-based reservation/appointment management system that can be used for all bookings, regardless if made by telephone, by a walk-in customer, or by a customer via the Internet. The software product also provides the merchant with a powerful direct marketing tool. As a merchant uses the software product, user-customer profiles and demographics are captured in the database module, thus creating (in Web jargon) a “community” of customers specific to the merchant. The merchant is thus empowered, using the mail module, to directly communicate with its customer base, using customer profiles and demographics to create a highly targeted and effective marketing and promotional ad campaign.

The software product also allows the merchant to auction off time-slot inventory over the Internet. Lastly, the software product enables the creation of Web “super-communities” consisting of the aggregate of all the individual merchant's customer-communities using the software product.

James F. Testa - Mountain View CA

Assignee:

Sun Microsystems, Inc. - DE

International Classification:

Q11C 1300

US Classification:

365182

Abstract:

A storage cell includes a first bit line, a storage circuit, and a pass transistor. The storage circuit has a first storage node for holding a logic state indicative of a logic value. The pass transistor is coupled to the first bit line and the first storage node for establishing a conduction path therebetween. The pass transistor receives a bias voltage to switch the pass transistor into a substantially nonconducting state when the storage cell is not being accessed. The reverse bias on the first transistor substantially reduces the leakage current through the pass transistor.

Inventors:

James W. ROSE - Menlo Park CA, US

International Classification:

B65D 23/12
B65D 25/20

Abstract:

A disposable plastic bottle that includes a receptacle formed in a plastic casing having an outside surface and an inside surface that defines a volume for holding a beverage. The receptacle includes (a) an internal seal that protrudes inward from the inside surface of the plastic casing into the volume for holding the beverage and (b) an external surface that is substantially flush or protrudes slightly outward from the outside surface of the plastic casing and that is exposed through the plastic casing and configured to directly receive an external pressure.

Abstract:

Determining and delivering personalized nutrition to individuals by generating a personalized nutrition plan for an individual that specifies at least one dosage formula including specific amounts of a plurality of nutritional ingredients. Once the dosage formula is defined, the ingredients are physically delivered to the individual and the dosage formula is delivered over an electronic communication network to a nutrition appliance associated with the individual. The nutrition appliance is configured to generate a food product from (a) the plurality of nutritional ingredients provided to the individual and (b) in accordance with the dosage formula delivered over the electronic communication network. In a non-exclusive embodiment, the dosage formula includes specified amounts of at least vitamins, antioxidants, proteins and carbohydrates and a flavor. The food product may be either a liquid, such as a beverage and smoothie, or a solid, such as a bar, cereal, cracker or chip.
