International Classification:

G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705014000

Abstract:

Many customers are members of multiple frequent customer programs. When a customer wishes to book reward travel, searching each frequent customer program of which the customer is a member is difficult and time-consuming. A rewards program provider, such as a transactional account company, can provide members the opportunity to link frequent customer programs to the rewards program. When a customer searches for reward travel, the customer enters the request through the rewards program provider. The rewards program provider then sends a request to each frequent customer program which includes the customer identification. The frequent customer programs each return a search result tailored to the specific customer, taking into consideration the customer's status and point balance in the frequent customer program. The rewards program provider then allows the customer to book a selected reservation using points corresponding to a specific frequent customer program and/or points corresponding to the provider's rewards program.

Abstract:

Provided here are new methods to identify specific families of mammalian odorant receptors for odorants or aroma, particularly indole and skatole malodors and their use in assays that may be used to discover compounds that modulate (blocking, enhancing, masking or mimicking compounds) their activity. Orphan mouse odorant receptors are identified from olfactory sensory neurons that respond to target compounds. The resulting receptors as well as their human counterparts can be screened in assays against test compounds to confirm their identity as odorant or aroma receptors, particularly malodor receptors and subsequently discover for example modulators that inhibit the perception of the malodor in humans.
