System for evaluating a company's customer equity

The object of the present invention is to provide a system for evaluating the customer equity of products and services provided by a company, with consideration of customer-purchase trends, and to provide a means for evaluating the ratio of repeat customers and the customer-equity growth ratio by store, region, and / or customer group, and to provide data for establishing an optimal plan for increasing sales. A system 100 for evaluating customer equity according to the present invention comprises a computer system 2 for conducting sales management for a company, and an evaluation computer 10 connected to the computer system 2 via a communications line 5. The evaluation computer 10 comprises a Web server 11, a communications controller 15, an application server 12, and a database 14 for recording purchase records received from a company or store. The database comprises a table of original records 14a for recording purchase records in the order that they are generated, a master table of customers 14b, and a tabulation table 14c for sorting records by time period. The application server 12 comprises a purchase-data collecting means 12a, a customer-equity sorting means 12b, and a customer-equity evaluation means 12c. The customer-equity evaluation means 12c comprises a total-customer-equity tabulating means 12c-1; an average-customer-equity tabulating means 12c-2; a means of tabulating the customer-stability ratio 12c-3; and a customer-equity growth-ratio tabulating means 12c-4.

Method to control mercury emissions from exhaust gases

InactiveUS6136281AElimination of mercury in flue gas emissionsEasy to collectCombination devicesExhaust apparatusSolid massGas phase
The present invention relates to a method to catalyze the oxidation of Hg(0) in a flue gas stream prior to standard emissions control equipment. The oxidized mercury has been found to be more condensable than Hg(0) and consequently more easily removed from the gas phase. Accordingly, mercury in its oxidized form can be trapped from a flue gas stream or the like by absorption onto a solid mass or can be more efficiently removed from flue gas streams by wet processes such as a two-stage wet FGD. The gist underlying the inventive concept of the instant invention relates to the use of a porous bed of gold-coated material that is saturated with Hg(0) to the point that the gold in the presence of HCl in the exhaust stream catalyses the oxidation of Hg(0).
