Methods and systems for integration of multiple rewards programs

A method and system for consolidating loyalty rewards from multiple programs into a single currency which is managed in a single account allows a customer to utilize accumulated rewards for making full or partial payments at a point of sale with an online merchant. A payment transaction can represent the use of multiple accounts (i.e., reward currency, credit card, or debit card). When executing the transaction, the system conceals a customer's account information by generating a virtual account number (VAN). As such, the online merchant is not required to have any prior knowledge of the system and processes the transaction as a conventional credit card purchase.

Automatic geometrical and mechanical analyzing method and system for tubular structures

A method and system for analyzing tubular structures, such as vascular bodies, with respect to their geometrical properties and mechanical loading conditions is disclosed. To this end, geometrical and structural models of vascular bodies are generated from standard sets of image data. The method or system works automatically and the tubular structure is analyzed within clinical relevant times by users without engineering background. Most critical in that sense is the integration of novel volume meshing and 3D segmentation techniques. The derived geometrical and structural models distinguish between structural relevant types of tissue, e.g., for abdominal aortic aneurysms the vessel wall and the intra-luminal thrombus are considered separately. The structural investigation of the vascular body is based on a detailed nonlinear Finite Element analysis. Here, the derived geometrical model, in-vivo boundary / loading conditions and finite deformation constitutive descriptions of the vascular tissues render the structural biomechanical problem. Different visualization concepts are provided and allow an efficient and detailed investigation of the derived geometrical and mechanical data. In addition, this information is pooled and statistical properties, derived from it, can be used to analyze vascular bodies of interest.
