Patent number: 8287340Abstract: An employee incentive game overlies a sales application used with POS terminals. The game includes a back office portion and a front end employee interface portion. The game parameters, which are set up on the back office portion, identify a start time, a stop time, and a predetermined sales item which is the subject of the game. Each time the predetermined item is sold, the selling cashier receives a point. The front end interface portion informs the cashier of the predetermined sales item, identifies the game parameters, and graphically displays a score card whenever prompted to do so. The score card also shows the standings of the other cashiers in the game. The standings are updated in real time via the POS terminal data gathered by the sales application. At the end of the game, the cashier with the most points is recognized.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2003Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: Par Technology CorporationInventor: Adam C. Gregorin

Publication number: 20120110339Abstract: Systems and/or methods where a file requires an associated token to be accessed (see DEFINITIONS section) by the software used to access the file and that the token effectively requires that: (i) a particular authorized copy (or subset of authorized copies) of the software is being used to access the file; and (ii) that the authorized software is being run on an authorized hardware set (for example, organizational server computer). In at least some preferred embodiments, the files are specifically vector file format data files (“vffdf's”). In at least some preferred embodiments: (i) the token associated with the file is called a public token; (ii) the authorized software copy includes a private token; (iii) the file is encrypted; and (iv) the public and private tokens must sufficiently correspond in order for the file to be decrypted and thereby accessed.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2010Publication date: May 3, 2012Applicant: Par Technology CorporationInventors: Calvin Reed, Mark Kozak, Brock Adam McCarty

Publication number: 20110193710Abstract: A monitoring system for a refrigerated container carrying temperature-sensitive cargo. The system includes sensors disposed throughout the container and/or an associated vehicle for measuring parameters of the container or vehicle, including temperature, motion, and fuel efficiency, among many others. The system optionally includes a global positioning system receiver to monitor geographic location. The system communicates with a command center to allow real-time tracking and monitoring of the container. To reduce false positive alerts, the system buffers alerts by at least 30 minutes and blocks signal transmission when the container is located within specified geofences such as loading and unloading sites.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2010Publication date: August 11, 2011Applicant: PAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Jason McIlvain, Fred Matrulli, John W. Sammon, III

Patent number: 7460167Abstract: A tunable imaging sensor includes a housing with four lenses mounted on a front side. A removable or rotatable filter plate/wheel fits inside the enclosure adjacent the lenses, with a camera plate holding four CMOS or CCD imagers fitting inside the enclosure adjacent the filter plate/wheel. The filter plate includes four filters, one for each lens, while the filter wheel includes sixteen filters which are rotated into position so that four filters are always aligned with the lenses and imagers. Rotating the filter wheel provides sixteen different filter combinations for the sensor. The images from each of the imagers are processed to form a composite image.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2004Date of Patent: December 2, 2008Assignee: PAR Technology CorporationInventors: Jon Stuart Schoonmaker, Joseph James Dirbas, Andrew Bruce Bush, J. Antonio Mireles

Patent number: 7373143Abstract: The present invention is directed to an RF communications system that includes a first radio processor module having a first receiver portion programmed to convert a first analog receive signal into a first digital audio receive signal. The first analog receive signal conforms to a first set of radio signal parameters. A digital interconnection system is coupled to the first radio processor module. At least one second radio processor module is coupled to the digital interconnection system. The at least one second radio processor module includes at least one second transmission portion programmed to obtain the first digital audio receive signal via the digital interconnection system and convert the first digital audio receive signal into at least one second analog transmit signal conforming to at least one set of second radio signal parameters.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2005Date of Patent: May 13, 2008Assignee: Par Technology CorporationInventor: Roger Lee Dygert

Patent number: 5159361Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for obtaining the corneal topography of an object using computer analyzed rasterstereographic images. The object may be nontransparent and diffusing, or it may be transparent and nondiffusing, such as a cornea. Rasterstereographic images of a cornea are produced by staining the cornea with a fluorescein solution which projects a light and dark line pattern onto the cornea through a grid. When obtaining the topography of a cornea, several different filters are used for producing and obtaining a grid image. An image processor uses unique software to store and analyze data extracted from the grid pattern. A video camera, an illuminator, the filters, and the grid may be mounted on a microscope. One embodiment uses a grid with vertical lines. Another embodiment uses a grid having intersecting horizontal and vertical lines for exhibiting surface details in a two-dimensional x-y plane.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 1990Date of Patent: October 27, 1992Assignee: Par Technology CorporationInventors: James L. Cambier, Salvins J. Strods
