Beanbasket Adds Faceted Search and Guided Navigation to their eCommerce System

Appleton, WI (PRWEB) May 13, 2009

Beanbasket announces the release of several conversion generation tools in the latest update. Chief among them is the ability for small to mid-market etailers to provide sophisticated, dynamic, faceted search and guided navigation to their shoppers.

Previously web shoppers were forced to follow the navigation paths defined by the store template. With this update, customers get a greater level of personalization with an intuitive and highly engaging navigation model based on product attributes or facets. Each consumer can tailor their own navigation - which can be the difference between a sale and a frustrated customer that couldn't find what they were looking for.

This new navigation method allows classifications to be dynamically built, re-ordered and grouped on the fly, rather than in a single, pre-determined, order.

Consumers can now easily narrow down the product lists by clicking on attributes such as shoes, color, size, designer, price range, material, or occasion. Merchants can now build sophisticated "Finder" tools as a part of their site so, for example, a B2B site might help a contractor search for the right adhesive to bond glass to steel with additional attributes like quick set, paintable, and water resistant.

Statistics have shown that customers using Beanbasket's traditional search tool are significantly more likely to purchase. The challenge has been to get consumers to interact with the tool. But by integrating advanced search into the navigation you automatically get the consumer to participate in merchandising your store the way they want to see it. This new model of direct interaction with the consumer keeps them engaged with the site until they find exactly what they were looking for - often presenting enticing products across categories that would not have been viewed.

Biofeedback System Used to Support NASA Missions Also Teaches Optimal Breathing at Home

(PRWEB) July 17, 2011

When the space shuttle Atlantis returns from the International Space Station it will mark the end of an era for American space travel. We will all be holding our breath for its final safe landing to end a brilliant 30 year career. Reflecting on this, Lawrence Klein, Vice President and Co-Founder of Thought Technology Ltd., recalls, ?One of our company?s proudest achievements was to have its FlexComp Infiniti system chosen as the physiological monitoring equipment used in NASA?s NEEMO-9 project.?

For decades, NASA has been studying astronaut's physiological responses to zero gravity, to living in outer space and to staying in space vehicles and space stations for extended periods of time. The NEEMO-9 project involved under water research since the environment provides some useful similarities to working in space. For three days of the 22-day mission two astronauts wore the FlexComp Infiniti? system. Measurements for heart rate and electrocardiogram, respiration, skin conductance, hand temperature and finger blood volume pulse were taken to gauge the effect of isolation, workload and fatigue on the astronauts. The data collected was later studied by the research team. (To view a video about the project visit http://bit.ly/q8xxhy)

As NASA?s involvement in space and underwater research winds down, private enterprise is poised to take over. As an example of the privatization of space and underwater exploration, the next space flight may be a commercial one. Interestingly, Sir Richard Branson has just embarked on what has been referred to as mankind?s greatest diving challenge where selecting the best breathing system is crucial for survival. Breathing is life sustaining under water or in space, however here on earth with an abundant supply of oxygen many of us still do not breathe correctly. Those familiar with the use of biofeedback in controlling stress know the importance of proper breathing techniques. Thought Technology has sponsored the creation of EZ-Air Plus software distributed by the Biofeedback Foundation of Europe. Dr. Hal Myers, President of Thought Technology commented, "The EZ-Air breath pacing program helps the user master optimal breathing techniques. It's simple enough for anyone to use on their home, office or laptop computer. Similar functionality is also included in our sophisticated Biograph Infiniti software and FlexComp hardware used by NASA to add respiration pacing to clinical standards."

As this chapter in US history comes to a close, the skills learned in the NEEMO-9 project, using Psychophysiology and Biofeedback will continue to contribute to the International Space Station. Thought Technology salutes the people of NASA, their work and the mark they've made on history. NASA?s exploration has proven that Infiniti has a role to play in health and human performance at work and at home.

Thought Technology Ltd. sales are 95% Medical. Its psychophysiology is used in most VA Hospitals in the United States and it has 150 distributors in 55 countries. In addition to the medical market, the company has a strong presence in professional and elite sports. Thought Technology?s equipment has been used by a number of leading Olympic sport coaches as well as by several professional sports teams.
