  • Patent number: 11250406
    Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods are provided for a split transaction payment instrument configured to automatically split transactions between a plurality of accounts. The split transaction payment instrument may interact with one or more other payment instruments. The split transaction payment instrument may, based on the interaction, accordingly identify that the transaction is a split transaction to a point of sale device and provide data identifying accounts associated with the split transaction payment instrument and the other payment instruments for splitting of the transaction. A service provider may receive transaction data associated with the transaction and process the transaction by accordingly splitting payment between the accounts.

  • Patent number: 7635349
    Abstract: A syringe pump has a motor rotating a leadscrew, which drives a plunger head retainer to push a plunger along the barrel of a syringe so as to dispense medication to a patient. A force sensor in the head retainer measures the force on the plunger to detect when there is an occlusion restricting flow of medication. When an excess force is detected an alarm is generated and the motor is reversed to reduce the force to about 10% of that at which the occlusion is detected. The occlusion can be removed with a reduced risk of a bolus of medication being dispensed after which the user restarts the pump so that the plunger is driven normally.
