    摘要: A catalyst for the hydrogenation of carboxylic acids which comprises activated carbon having deposited thereon active metals including ruthenium and tin, characterized in that the activated carbon is one produced by a process comprising activating a carbonaceous material with zinc chloride and then burning it; a catalyst for the hydrogenation of carboxylic acids which comprises activated carbon having deposited thereon active metals including ruthenium and tin, characterized in that the activated carbon, before deposition of the active metals, had specific pore properties, in particular, such properties that the volume of pores having a pore radius not smaller than 10 ANGSTROM but not larger than 100 ANGSTROM was from 0.5 to 2.0 cm /g; and a process for producing a primary alcohol which comprises reacting at least one starting material selected from the group consisting of carboxylic acids and acid anhydrides with hydrogen gas in the presence of water and either of the catalysts to hydrogenate the starting material

    摘要: The present invention includes a loyalty program on a network-wide level, wherein the program facilitates a transfer of loyalty points from at least one consumer account associated with a sponsoring company to at least one consumer account associated with a host company. In one embodiment, the invention analyzes the loyalty point balances of consumer accounts associated with a sponsoring company, and based upon certain criteria or rules, the system determines particular loyalty point balances which are below a certain threshold amount or which have remained inactive for a certain time period. After determining particular consumer accounts which meet the criteria or rules, the system establishes a new host account in a host system for each qualifying consumer. The system then deducts all or any portion of the remaining loyalty point balance in the particular consumer's sponsored account and credits the corresponding host account with a corresponding loyalty point balance. By transferring the consumer accounts to a host system, the sponsoring company eliminates or reduces the loyalty point balances from its system, thereby reducing the sponsoring company accounting liabilities and providing new options for the consumers to redeem the points.
